[MS] DOT #1499 - Retroactive Funding Proposal: Bounty Manager V2.0

**To the members of Permanence DAO and the wider Polkadot community,**

This public internal referendum proposes to make it **mandatory** for the complete suite of **community- and user-facing software** produced by Permanence DAO to be **developed and maintained as open-source** throughout both the development and release cycles. This is to ensure:

1. **The protection of the community and users** through open and auditable codebases.
2. **Alignment with the ethos of free software, Web3, and cypherpunk values.**
3. **Open access to the knowledge embedded in the code** for any interested developer.

This mandate applies to, but is not limited to:

1. **Chat bots**
2. **Voting automation infrastructure**
3. **Websites**
4. **User-facing software products**

**Current set of tools** developed by the DAO members and used by the DAO are **fully open-source**:

1. **Opensquare** ([Link](https://voting.opensquare.io/space/permanence), [GitHub](https://github.com/opensquare-network/collaboration))
2. **Telegram bot and supporting services** ([GitHub](https://github.com/permanence-dao/permanence-dao-services))
3. **Website** ([Link](https://permanence.io/), [GitHub](https://github.com/permanence-dao/permanence-dao-web))
4. **Documentation site** ([Link](https://docs.permanence.io/), [GitHub](https://github.com/permanence-dao/permanence-dao-docs))

All **future software development** is to be carried out in a repository under the DAO’s **official GitHub organisation**, currently at [https://github.com/permanence-dao](https://github.com/permanence-dao).

A **separate proposal** will be submitted to determine the specific **licence types** (e.g. MIT, Apache 2.0, or GPLv3) to be applied to different use cases.

As usual, **members are expected to provide rationale for their votes**.

This proposal is about changing the target for coretime sales in the Kusama ecosystem. The main idea is to adjust the "ideal_bulk_proportion" parameter from 100% to 40%. This change will help coretime prices be more realistic and benefit the Kusama ecosystem. The main use of KSM is to pay for coretime, but the current prices are very low, which is not good for the system. By making this change, we can find the true value of coretime and keep the current inflation rate that supports validator operations. This is just a starting point, and the parameter can be adjusted in the future based on how the market responds and the needs of the ecosystem.

Reducing Inflation is a proposal to adjust Kusama's inflation parameters. The proposal suggests reducing the annual inflation rate from 10% to 5%, as the ecosystem has matured enough for long-term sustainability. The changed parameters include setting MaxInflation to 5% and changing UseAuctionSlots from true to false. The proposal also discusses reducing ideal bulk coretime sales to increase demand for KSM and adjust the core business model. The ideal bulk proportion is suggested to be changed from 100% to 40%. The proposer, a Kusama enthusiast, hopes the proposal will be well-received and contribute to the ecosystem's growth.
