Hey Dacha, I’ll let others answer the group related part but I just want to point out the salary part.

In [August](http://gov.near.org/t/august-2021-performance-report-and-funding-request-for-the-near-degen-army/5024/2) report you said that:

> 300 Near its a great payment (could be a little bit increased), even less than average salary for graduated specialist in USA.

And now you’re saying that it should decreased. Understand that the payments are being made in NEAR token not in stable coins, so the amount of salary we get will always be different each month (in USD) because it’s a cryptocurrency which will be forever volatile.
