Are we still paying royalty to CN developers? Is the royalty compulsively?

Yes, and not really. I think if you solo mine, then you can turn off the 1% donation, but if you mine at a pool, then I think they mostly have it turned on. It's really not clear, and I've asked for more information previously, and was told to read the source code. It would be nice if there was more than a vague sentence or two about miners voting on dev bounty for non-c++ programmers.

If the question was about CN developers, then yes, we do. Whatever value we get in each 720s block we pay 10% of this to CN founders. Zoidberg

Logo is awesome, no changes there.
However, there is a major announcement coming on Saturday. You will want to be following this thread that day. Just a heads up.

Maybe it would help if you simply explained how the voting works. For non-programmers it is a bit shady that the only way to know is to read the source or find some old thread discussions from May (if those are even still accurate).

As far as I can tell, the donations work like this: Every day, the votes are counted from the day's blocks. The donation amount is calculated as 1% of the day's emission times the percentage of "yes, donate" votes. Then 1% of the day's emission is subtracted from the not-yet-donated amount (which starts out as 1% of the total supply). Then the donation amount is rounded down to get rid of dust. Basically this has the same effect as if when each miner votes "yes, donate" 1% of the block reward goes to the developer, and if they vote "no" nothing goes to the developer.You can correct me if I'm wrong. edit: not sure about striked parts

It would be nice if there was more than a vague sentence or two about miners voting on dev bounty for non-c++ programmers. Pools could be adapted to take miners' donation votes, and vote in their blocks on average the same as their miners vote. The effect of each individual miner would of course be proportional to each miner's hashrate.

You can correct me if I'm wrong. So it takes donation not from the miners directly, but from a donation set aside from the total supply. Does the vote come only from the miners who find the block ?

You can correct me if I'm wrong. It looks to me from looking only at that one block of code (so this may be wrong), that donations are computed from a fixed amount of the total supply (1% I guess) less the amount of previous donations. So the effect is that as long as one miner votes for the donation, the entire donation amount (1% of the total supply) will eventually be donated (over a similar timescale to the overall emission curve). Votes no don't reduce the total donation, they reduce the current donation but increase future donations, in effect slowing down donations but not ultimately changing the total. But I haven't studied this that carefully so I welcome corrections.

#define DONATIONS_SUPPLY (TOTAL_MONEY_SUPPLY/100) So the total donation is 1%. Many years later, even if there is no coin to be mined, donation will still be made to the project, as long as some miners voted no previously.

Yes, I think that's how it works.

If the developer isn't doing a good job or completely abandoned the project it could be hardforked and a new donation address could be set up or completely removed. That in combination with the no votes makes it pretty fair in my opinion.

But this no vote does not matter too much. If 24/72 vote no, dev will get 48/72 this round. The rest is deferred to next round. So the next round subtoal will be larger. The total to be donated does not change, it just takes longer to collect the whole lot.

That's kind of strange, and also some what at odds with: Developer Bounty: Up to 1% (Controlled by miner's votes)
which is, I think, the total extent of the information on the ANN page. Thanks for analysis though
