Abstain

I'm switching to abstain due to the fact that Helikon is running validators on Kusama, but I'm supportive. My original comment follows: I support it under the current KSM rate. It would benefit independent validators. It can be reviewed if KSM price recovers. Aye.

Aye

Clear Aye, but will like for Validators to maybe reduce its pool number, from 1000 to less. that way teh reward from each validator should increase.

Abstain

We abstain with our vote, as Polkadotters have own validators on Kusama, so there is a possible COI. But besides the fact that we support this idea, due to the price depreciation of KSM token. This can help smaller validators.
