1. You then specify the approximate salary - these salaries are too high for Russia (even for Moscow), where, I believe, the main part of your team.
However, it's not important, I don't mind.
2. Pointing salary you give to understand that people work for money, not for the idea, they are not enthusiasts, they are not interested in the success, they just hired workers. I like another scheme - the developers have a stake and make every effort for the success of the coins to the share increased in monetary terms several times. I hope I'm clear outlined my thoughts.
Maybe I'm wrong, it's just my impression.
In principle, no difference of 10% or 25% you currently take. If developers do not have the desire to develop your product (I do not mean you, I don't know nothing about you and your team) there is already the size of the share will not matter.
As a result: no difference 10% or 25%, talk about salaries saddens me.
Hey Prix, thanks for commenting! Let me try to respond and ease your concerns a little on some of these points.
1. Our team is actually fairly well distributed. Several of the programmers and the Creator, Boris, are from Russia. The creative design, engineering, community outreach, and several other aspects are being done by team members form America and Israel. So we tried to be considerate of everyone.
2. Let me be frank here. When we discuss salary, there are 2 reasons for this.
Reason #1 is because some members of any project will be hired for specific roles. For instance, you may hire someone who does interface design to come in and design a GUI for your web wallet. They will be paid a set salary. This person may not be added to the actual core team, but just hired for that one project.
Reason #2 is because several members of the community have posed direct questions about how the distribution will work for the launch, and so I felt it was important to clearly state the numbers. This wasn't because we are focused on the salary, as much as it was a function of trying to farther explain the distribution in realistic terms.
I assure you that Myself, Stas, Mike, Boris, and many of the others on the initial creative team behind Crypti are going to be providing major contributions and running the Foundation alongside the community for the long term. As I mentioned in a previous post, we intend to hopefully release a set of stretch goals to show what we plan to work on post launch.
While I can't guarantee all 9 current developers will stay with the project post-launch, as that is their decision, I believe we have a really strong core group that truly believes in Crypti. I can speak for myself when I say that I have put countless hours into helping design the core features of Crypti and I take a lot of pride in what we are accomplishing here. I know the majority of us feel the same way.
As per your comment about the developers having a stake, that is exactly how it is currently designed. We are all in this together and I plan to be right beside those of you who join the Foundation, trying to give Crypti the best possible future that we can. But, you don't just have to take my word for it. Our actions will show our dedication. Just stick with us Prix!
