That's a reasonable common interpretation, I agree. And your argument is plausible. But it's exactly *not* how we interpreted recent transactions.
To be clear, I would look back at those recent precedents (I don't offhand remember which cases or payments) to find the reasons for those judgements before coming to a conclusion on this one. Both can't be right. Also: didn't we have a long discussion on the definition of "spend" and "paid" and so forth that resulted in a proposal? I thought we clarified some of those definitions did it never actually get proposed/distributed? On Wed, 8 Nov 2017, VJ Rada wrote: > I would disagree.
