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.
Sorry if it looks shady.
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.

Gotta let CN founders wet their beaks.
Wait, it's the XDN founders who have beaks.
Wait, XDN founders now have dark beaks.
