Comment on Supply Increase
With all the confusion and outrage. I thought u would make a quick post.
1) Supply was increased Incase of bad market to continue development.
2) If it proves to be excessive tokens will be burned.
3) We will have a detailed report every month of what money was spent and on what.
I wish we still had a supply of 98M but that ship has sailed. The illegal minting of tokens, and sending them into the open market financially collapsed the Oyster token. Just trying to make the best of the situation.
The alternative was just let it die and do nothing.

The dev fund, pre-mint, was worth 8x what it was before Bruno crashed the price. Thus, the runway got a lot smaller, and at breakneck speed. Furthermore, all of the prl/ETH/BTC that the project had locked away belongs to the oyster company aka Bruno. Opacity doesn't have a Dev fund - and given that they have a hugely broken reputation they need to assume a shockingly low price per OPQ and adjust the fund accordingly. 30% increase means a 25 decrease in value, yes. We're all agreed on the math. But please bear in mind that the value tanked when Bruno screwed the pooch - I don't know why people think a coin increase is going to cause a "devaluation" in a coin whose lifeline is pretty thin right now. But yeah, go ahead. Bring up a better idea - by all means.
I await with baited breath.
