How about IOU’s? It’s clear we have no faith that the currently proposed methods will work to fill the deficit in time. Maybe if this didn’t happen at the bottom of the market they’d have a chance. But realistically, the deficit will grow faster than these methods can shrink it.
So instead of making everyone go through months of stress and panic, give everyone some IOU token for their ILP. Withdraw now with the haircut. Enjoy Link staking in the meantime and give Bancor the time to PAY US BACK. I want my funds safe, and not threatened by TKN mooning and deficit ballooning. But I don’t want to risk some legal BS argument locking me out of getting my money back if I take a haircut because of impending market pump. Give us an IOU token so that our remaining funds aren’t held captive anymore, and can be used elsewhere (there is opportunity cost in staying in Bancor). Then once the Bancor team has figured out a reliable method to fill in the deficit, just start paying back our IOU’s with TKN. This should go for people who already took the haircut too.
tl;dr. Instead of racing to fill the deficit before it balloons. Give yourself more time and pay back IOU’s instead while not holding the other 50% of everyone’s funds captive in the meantime.
