That's a cool approach to it. Surely though, and I'm just playing devil's advocate here really, no paid developers is a huge negative. I get that just because somebody is paid full-time doesn't mean they're the best but how can you guarantee the quality, consistency and reliability of the code?
What's the roadmap for Q3 & Q4 of 2017 look like? I hold some Golem but they've failed to release Brass by the time they said they would (despite already pushing it back once!). Obviously, I'd rather have a working product late than a buggy, failing one early but I still wouldn't mind moving some Golem into something else as a result!
I don't have the roadmap details where I can easily get to them, but check on coingecko and sort on the developer column, Gridcoin is at number 14; not bad for a coin that has been around for such a long time.
Gridcoin has a passionate following, people do it because you might help find a cure childhood cancer, AIDS or Ebola, or detect an asteroid that will collide with earth, or discover the next Higgs Boson. The Devs care just as much :)
That's a fair point! I guess to some an almost philanthropic driver is going to be more powerful than a monetary driver :)
Yup, and we don't all bail if the price takes a wobble
Best part!
