Peer4commit shows a failed experiment of self opt-in donation funding.
We did okay with that when Peercoin was “hot”. But that project died off pretty quick, got fragmented and the way new developers come in to see an opportunity to get involved look at how stale it is and just leave.
I find our community has a hard time learning from its mistakes, or changing its thinking to adapt.
The same technologies Peercoin has now, or is planning to have, exist in other chains in similar ways. We’re no longer cutting edge. Yes, we do have a very reliable blockchain, that is truly decentralized, fairly launched, and not manipulated.
…which is our treasure. However, none of that means anything, if we don’t keep interest and attention alive.
Ongoing, regular, and predictable funding is helpful in the mission.
Teek, legitimately wants to see the PLAN, and says if there was one, funding definitely will come.
Isn’t that counting eggs before they are hatched? How can we possibly come up with a PLAN for fund generation and spending if we have no idea of what how often, and to what amount, the income will be?
Any business must have a path to profitability for funding its growth, and we don’t have that…
Our business plan seems to be “we’ll plan growth, development, and adoption” and hope the funds will show up on time to support it.
That’s a flawed plan to success in my opinion.
I’ve said enough. You know how I feel. I’d like to sit back listen to the rest of you decide.
