I noticed bisq-network/bisq#2501 is not yet merged. So should not be considered delivered yet.
As seednode operator, you have 2 seednodes? Typically 50 BSQ is requested per node. So should it be 100 not 150? But based on your total requested, I believe you calculated it as 100 so maybe that was just a typo?

Ah damn, that one is indeed not merged. Well, hm. @ripcurlx I guess there is not much we can do now can we? I guess then every additional change required to get that one into master is free of charge (at least if I get that one granted)...

ad Seednode Operator: yes, typo.

As everything is already copied over to the spreadsheet for voting, I can't update the amount anymore. If your CR gets accepted, please try to get your PR merged to master as soon as possible after the DAO launch.
