Followup on the proposed refund mechanism (link to our original post in a cast below)

We're sharing a draft technical spec, and welcoming feedback:

Is it possible (within legal bounds of DUNA) to fully eliminate refund? Imo, the fork was designed for minority protection, not for RQ or refund. If we have to eliminate fork for legal reasons related to DUNA, it doesn't make sense to me that it's replaced with a refund mechanism. The point of fork was never for refunds (although that's what it turned out to be used for...) The DAO is better off without refunds.

I have some criticisms of the proposed refund mechanism mainly around how streaming auction proceeds over years means the dao is significantly capped in it's ability to deploy the treasury. I like how past nouns do not get access to this refund mechanism so there is no way to arb anymore. 

But, my opinion is that we don't need a refund at all. If you buy a noun, you buy a noun. No refunds, no returns. All sales final. Try your luck on secondary if you want to get rid of it.

good to know it's possible. 
so far, I don't think we've seen any true effort of a minority using the fork for protection. My opinion is that the benefits of minority protection do not outweigh the costs of enabling an easy refund. 

not for me alone to decide of course, but I think we'd be better off without it. 

Thanks for the spec and sharing thoughts though, it's cool and useful regardless of my opinions on if its in the dao best interest

we can decided to have no refund at all. we are suggesting this because we believe this does provide useful minority protection.
