Why are the dev funds not being allocated to UI wallet support? It sounds like David will no longer be working on Grin++ and honestly, who can blame him? He had to go to Charlie Lee to get funding for a security audit while you're rolling in years of funding.

I agree that we need wallets with a nice UI, but I think throwing funds at wallets makes sense only after we have somewhat stable transaction building. The transaction building process still keeps changing very often. I think it's best to first make it stable to avoid the need to fund multiple rewrites until we get it right.

Voting for each other to get more funding isn't very ancap of you.

I've not seen any evidence about the council predetermining the outcomes of funding requests. You can disprove this by:
1. Providing screenshots of this happening
2. Having a very clear and obvious disagreement on a public meeting where the council overrides the outcome

If you don't have any of the above, it means they are baseless accusations in which case I'd ask you to please stop spreading such views. Also, council members are free to discuss and form their opinion in a private chat.

Sure, Grin probably has some problems that it needs solving. But the single most detrimental thing I've seen on Grin is a part of the community being stuck in a negative loop which they keep reinforcing. It's very easy to get stuck in negative thoughts and complain about things, but that's very unproductive and definitely not a good way to solve the issues. A good first step would be to stop with the "council is malicious" mentality that is getting pushed and instead realize that we all want the best for Grin, we just don't necessarily agree what best is. I'm sorry I turned my response into this, but I feel it needs to be said after seeing this narrative being pushed around several times.
