@@ -35,6 +35,8 @@ In brief, the TF overview would be as follows:
 14. Adjust grid deployment costs to fit with resources
 15. Part of node additional fees goes to the TF Foundation for grant, R&D, etc.
 16. Ensure a proper utilization/capacity ratio (perhaps per region/country? TBD)
+17. Farmers should be able to use their tokens at all times for deployments, without having to wait any grace periods.
+18. Develop a system for someone to make revenues out of developing on the grid. This can be done in many ways and should be discussed.
 
 ## Proposition Details
 
@@ -73,29 +75,35 @@ Here are the details of this proposition:
          2. doesn't have a public ip when listed that they do
          3. destroys the deployment during utilization
          4. Etc. (Todo: build list of slashable events)
-2. The Dashboard should show which nodes have their min collateral quantity. And alerts should be sent to users when the nodes they are using get the collateral unstaked (e.g. for slashing events or simply the farmers removing the collateral amount)
-3. Communication Channel: Farmers and Users Contact Info
+1. The Dashboard should show which nodes have their min collateral quantity. And alerts should be sent to users when the nodes they are using get the collateral unstaked (e.g. for slashing events or simply the farmers removing the collateral amount)
+1. Communication Channel: Farmers and Users Contact Info
    1. There must be efficient communication channels between farmers and users for maintenance and service reasons.
       1. Farmers should have users info (e.g. email) to be able to send maintenance notifications, etc.
       2. Users/TFGrid should be able to contact farmers (email and telephone)
-4. System for farmers to announce maintenance window without loss of reputation or the like
+1. System for farmers to announce maintenance window without loss of reputation or the like
    1. A mechanism where farmers could go through an announcement procedure, that downtime is expected on a node/farm due to maintenance or upgrade, without loosing any reputation or rewards
-5. Farming difficulty and Proof-of-capacity: farmers get POC rewards based on 0.08 farming registration price (farming difficulty level)
+1. Farming difficulty and Proof-of-capacity: farmers get POC rewards based on 0.08 farming registration price (farming difficulty level)
    1. We increase the farming difficulty for newly registered nodes when demanded by the DAO
    2. As a first step, we increase difficulty level to 0.10 USD (25% increase in farming difficulty)
    3. As TFT utilization grows, its price should increase and the DAO should naturally vote to increase the farming difficulty level.
-6. Proof-of-utilization: farmers get 50% of POU rewards
-7. Node uptime score and hardware information on Dashboard
+1. Proof-of-utilization: farmers get 50% of POU rewards
+1. Node uptime score and hardware information on Dashboard
    1. Add an uptime score on the Dashboard so users can see which nodes are the most online
       1. High-availability nodes would come first in the search.
    2. Add the maximum info on the node hardware for users to choose as they see fit
-8. Revised grid deployment costs parameters in accordance with the market and best practice for TF and high access for users
-9.  Part of Farming additional fees to TF Foundation
+1. Revised grid deployment costs parameters in accordance with the market and best practice for TF and high access for users
+1.  Part of Farming additional fees to TF Foundation
     1. Currently, 100% goes to the farmer. A certain % (e.g. 10%) could be diverted to the TF Foundation for R&D, grant programs, etc.
-10. Ensure a proper utilization/capacity ratio (perhaps per region/country? TBD)
+2. Ensure a proper utilization/capacity ratio (perhaps per region/country? TBD)
    1.  Regulate the creation of new nodes when there is a lot of empty capacity
    2.  This could be per country or region to avoid a scenario where overall capacity outgrows utilization, but in one country capacity is needed (e.g. there's a lot of demand locally)
    3.  This needs to be further discussed
    4.  Example: New nodes under 33% of utilization per country can only farm POU, but not POC.
+3. Farmers should be able to use their tokens at all times for deployments, without having to wait any grace periods.
+    1.  E.g. a farmer purchase an IKON XL that generates approx. 650 TFT, from which they could use 400 TFT to setup a nice cloud environmont. This should always remain the option. No waiting, no locking, no grace period.
+4. Develop a system for someone to make TFT revenues out of developing on the grid (providing solutions, dashboard, etc.)
+    1.  E.g. find a way to have something along the lines of the previous solution provider system work.
+    2.  E.g. the person hosting a grid stack could get a % of that dashboard instance's revenues to their wallet
+    3.  Note: the current option to add an additional contract on top of the current one means unequal competition. So not ideal.
 
 Note: This is based on community feedback over many discussions. Ideally, we can integrate those points here with the ongoing 3.14 plan as shared by Kristof at the top of this page. [Link to 3.14 ebook](https://threefold.info/tfgrid3/tfgrid3/intro.html)
