After discussing with the other members of the DOTisDED team, who initially provided feedback and supported this referendum, have later pivoted referendum funding strategy based on community sentiment from a proposal by proposal approach to a DED Bounty Fund.

The community feedback has lead to Referendum #556.

I agree DED cannot truly succeed with just this technical budget and tentative future contributor proposals that are not well received. Therefore i will cancel this referendum and allow for the DED Bounty Fund #556 to play out.

A DED bounty fund will give DED the best chances of success, while retaining the core value of 100% fair distribution. 

$10m fund to aim for >$1bn value asset, is rational and reasonable odds. Dreaming of a zillion dollar token on bootstrap budget is a bad odds and waste of time and reputation.
