My experience of buy-backs is that they promise a lot, but don't have much effect. Is there not a way to reward the delegators more directly - for instance increasing the rewards payout, or some kind of dividend function (either in XCT or other assets)? Otherwise I fear you simply waste a lot of funds buying up tokens which will have negligible effect on the token price.

I see that C1 has voted against this prop.
I've been with C1 for a long time now with many chains, around 10,000 Atom, Juno, Osmo (largest is Atom) so not insignificant bags - but I will have to find a new validator as I don't think this decision adheres to C1's own guidelines.
It's been fun, see you around

Hi,
I write to urge C1 to look to the long-term interests of the chain and vote "YES" to this proposal. Aside from the environmental aspects and the low funds required, several other chains have gone and are going carbon neutral. By Juno going carbon neutral it indicates that it is a responsible chain, and this responsibility reflects well with potential investors. Moreover, it signals that blockchain is a solution to climate change, not a leading cause. Rejecting this will allow other chains to move ahead - Polygon, for instance, has already gone down this route.
For me this is an important aspect, and I will look to see how C1 and other validators react.
Thanks for listening.

I agree. It makes sense.

Agreement. Please make it so. And then follow up with Juno
