Title: Add 0xBA5ED to trial payout period

## Thesis:

Proposal for 0xBA5ED to enter a trial period of one funding cycle with a payment of $3000.

## Abstract:

Past month I have spend 30-50(+?) hours a week working on various Juicebox smart contracts and have done multiple pull-requests that have been merged. I am now proposing to enter a trial period for one funding cycle with a payment of $3000.

## Motivation:

Past month I have spend 30-50(+?) hours a week working on various Juicebox smart contracts, here is some of the work I have done so far (ordered from biggest to smallest):

- [Implemented the linear decreasing voting power for veBanny contract](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/jbx-staking/pull/16) (Still work-in-progress)

- [Added EIP-165 support to Juicebox V2](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/juice-contracts-v2/pull/236) (including [tests](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/juice-contracts-v2/pull/240))

- [Simplified veBanny contract and added support to redeem multiple veBannys at once](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/jbx-staking/pull/13)

- [Moved all V2 Errors to prevent conflicts](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/juice-contracts-v2/pull/240/commits/3f477da12564fb69e78931ab9a3474091f6a1c2d)

- [Wrote proof-of-concept code for AppleJuice terminal](https://discord.com/channels/775859454780244028/967931835197845564/968296173960052746) and [brainstormed with](https://discord.com/channels/775859454780244028/967931835197845564/968336216141479936) @Dr Gorilla on the architecture

- Found and fixed potential issue(s) in veBanny contract ([Fixes](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/jbx-staking/pull/12), [Discord explanation](https://discord.com/channels/775859454780244028/961007548553637970/966131838122872894))

- Various other minor fixes and updates (such as [#1](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/juice-interface/commit/685b0d88067709866802124fd5b2e093571f3b35), [#2](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/juice-docs-v2/commit/a008d01172b94f1f30206ac6b1c3ef6cf2e39429)) 

As I get more comfortable with the Juicebox codebase i’ll be able to increase my productivity and start shipping more code per cycle.

## Risks:

- Lower quality or less code 🚢ed

- 0xBA5ED could vanish

## Specification:

$3000 trial payout for funding cycle 22 to `0x1864822f9b32ed59a456a1eeec2a83c76637f33f`

## Rationale:

I had a hard time figuring out what amount to propose for this trial payout, after discussing with a Juicebox contributor $3000 was suggested as a good trial payment, which imo is a fair amount for both me and the DAO. As this gives me the opportunity to keep working 30-50(+) hours a week and provide more contributions to hopefully start a recurring payment in the future. 

## Timeline:

Enter trial payout for one (1) cycle, during FC #22
