We have seen around 4/5 proposal to hire 0xMaki with I believe always a too much good salary for a community driven project.
I don't see any good reason to pay him, everyone is working on this project for free and to grow our mutuals investments.
If you guys really want to hire someone then ChefNomi is the one that I believe should be hired, yes he did a big mistake once, but showed that he was not that greedy and now we should trust him...
