I really like the general model prescribed here.

It might be that workers in general could be better received by the voting community if they were not put out there like trillion dollar US government "defense authorization acts" where voting is all or nothing.   

The way thing have seemed up until now... its either you want to vote for "core team budget" yea/nay or "dexbot budget" yea/nay... and perhaps you want some of the things core is doing to be funded or some of the things dexbot is doing to be funded.... but you don't agree with the whole package.  Not to single out any line item, but maybe you don't want to support dev travel to blockchain events for example.  The all or nothing packaging of the workers tends to turn ala carte items into what is perceived as dependent political pork riders.    Perhaps, a better model would be employment of individuals for 6 month contracts instead of teams.   Or funding of distinct projects or subcategories of dev - instead of all or none dev offerings.   I think voters prefer this level of control which avoids a sense of perceived "pork" which ultimately ends chaotically as a "poison pill" amendment wrecks an ongoing otherwise helpful worker offering.

Rider (legislation)

In legislative procedure, a rider is an additional provision added to a bill or other measure under the consideration by a legislature, having little connection with the subject matter of the bill.[1] Riders are usually created as a tactic to pass a controversial provision that would not pass as its own bill. Occasionally, a controversial provision is attached to a bill not to be passed itself but to prevent the bill from being passed (in which case it is called a wrecking amendment or poison pill).

Could you explain where money from **refund100k** worker goes?
It returns to the reserve pool automatically. Just like refund400k.

On a side node: The same proposal also creates a worker "threshold-bsip" which refunds 1 BTS per day.
The purpose is to have an independent worker proposal to consider BSIPs approved. There will be a separate
announcement to this one.

Any update for "threshold-bsip"? The worker proposal is listed but seems like committee members not aware of this and not many proxies vote for it, only 16,024,026 Votes so far.
Technically, we would first need to write a BSIP that describes the behavior and reasoning behind it ... then get that proposal approved like usual.
Until then, the worker is pretty much meaning-less.

The BSIP should be written before and at the same time a new BSIP is published for voting.

Ginve that there currently is refund400k (and only one refund100k) and the fact that
some community members have the desire to reduce the "inflation", I think
the entire community is best served by providing more flexibility when it comes
to voting and funding workers.

With that said, I have just today created a proposal (on-chain) for the committee to create
the following new workers:

- refund100k-1
- refund100k-2
- refund100k-3
- refund50k-1
- refund50k-2
- refund50k-3

These would be created by the committee account and refund the pay to the reserves in case they are approved.

That means, the new (finer) worker proposals serve the same purpose as refund400k but allow for more flexible decision
making for proxies and BTS voters in general.

Look forward to see discussion.
