So, I had initially decided I didn’t want to submit for a retroactive reward, but @waqwaqattack bought me some liquor and told me he’d write it for me.
What follows was written by @waqwaqattack and I have only edited for yaml formatting.
It is a bit sparse on details of the work done, but part of that is due to the nature of the work in #support, and part of it is due to @waqwaqattack ghost-writing this for me.
For more details on the backlog of completed work, the “What is your history of involvement with Rocket Pool?” section of my oDAO “application” is a good summary: link
(Since then I have also added https://sp.sprocketpool.net to my oeuvre)
Thank you @waqwaqattack and sorry for making you recuse yourself
