Thanks Dave for the reply.
Agree that alternatives exist - and bjangle's alternative proposal to discontinue voucher discounts could also achieve a similar end through creating voucher-specific sales.
But I guess the next question is:
- I'm assuming the concept would require voucher burns... Does the team have a mechanism for revenue? If we are thinking of these like Promo cards... Would the DAO use DAO funds to pay for development of these Voucher assets? (In which case, the DAO is quite directly subsidizing vouchers)
- Alternatively, I guess the voucher sales could become revenue to the team instead of being burned, but then the voucher inflation has no offsetting sinks/burns
If each voucher was valued at a mere fraction of an SPS, instead of multiple SPS, I expect there would be less resistance to sunsetting.
I guess the challenge is balancing the incentive to make "desirable assets" that would give vouchers the value you are seeking to preserve. Perhaps it's possible. But a reasonable plan to sunsetting would take away some "mental overhead" for the team in trying to give value to a token that was an interesting idea (proof of time staked) but ultimately hasn't worked out. How long should the team anchor to a concept if it's not successful?
To me it's prudent to offer an exchange to consolidate two underused tokens (vouchers and DEC-B)
