It certainly makes sense to have a link between DAO and the Splinterlands team.

However, it should go without saying that you should introduce yourself and give your name and background / qualifications when applying for a job that impacts many millions of dollars.

It is ok to want to be anonymous, but then most jobs are simply not suitable. It is also not enough if some know the person.

If you don't want to show yourself to the complete DAO, then everyone has to ask themselves what the reason is. It would be very naive of any organization to give anonymous people great influence.

If this is actually implemented like this, I think it is very scary for the future of the DAO. Manipulation and fraud will be made much easier this way.

When finally the statement is made that a payment of 60k is not much, one has to wonder even more. Isn't Splinterlands supposedly on the brink of financial ruin? With statements like that, I'm not surprised. Some in the organization seem to have lost their sense of reality. 60k is a lot of money for many people.

Maybe the person is worth the work? But without knowing the person and a way to evaluate the work you can't say.

So the DAO should hire someone they don't really know anything about, don't really get to know, and whose work can also be poorly or not at all monitored?

That is simply highly unprofessional! The whole thing seems more like a gift to a friend than a professional business decision to me, unfortunately.

That Clayboyn then also votes for himself makes this proposal completely ridiculous. That should be the end of the application.

So the big stackholders can get together and elect someone to whom they can pay a huge salary from the DAO and then divide it among themselves?

Before anyone is hired, other DAO structures would have to be sorted out first.

This opinion is not directed against a specific person, but applies in principle.
