Dear community,

I am engaging you for support to fund [an account](https://kusama.subscan.io/account/Gch4VxQ79WhjgQqHomvJbqF3Woza5g5cYgM8SVQdDb9szz1) that's used for various purposes which include community good activities such as: 

1. Payouts for community validators
2. Clearing submission and decision deposits on Kusama and its fellowship counterpart

The funding is expected to last approximately 4 months given validator payees growth from 168 (current) to 200.

A few related notes:
- The scripts used for clearing Kusama's submission deposits require updating after one of the previous runtime upgrade.  This should be completed within the next week.
- Efforts are made to reduce flooding of payouts at the end of an era
- I've worked on [a branch](https://github.com/turboflakes/crunch/tree/payout_adjustments) to support "grouped payouts" on Crunch. 

The public is welcomed to examine the accounts [transaction history](https://kusama.subscan.io/account/Gch4VxQ79WhjgQqHomvJbqF3Woza5g5cYgM8SVQdDb9szz1).

Kind Regards,
Will | Paradox

The Polkadot Developers Conference - sub0, hosted in Lisbon, Portugal, aimed to unite developers within the Polkadot ecosystem for learning, collaboration, and network expansion. This conference targeted both newcomers and experienced developers with workshops, panels, and demos on Polkadot's tech stack. A key goal was to attract 50% new developers from outside the ecosystem by utilizing strategic messaging, a selective ticketing process, and diverse programming.
