Hey John,
Since I have you here, I have 2 quick questions:
1. Do you have a plan as to how you will add more devs and stuff to your team and in what time line? I understand you are doing the whole thing solo? That can't be easy to sustain.
2. Do you have a plan for financing further development? I'm not sure how it's currently done, is it donations? I think finding a way for developement to finance itself is really what will make or break a coin project long term.
Thanks for your time and for creating this awesome community.
Pablo.
1. This project is easy to sustain and will only get easier as it quickly matures. Back in the days of Gnutella we all managed our projects solo and Gnutella is much more complex than blockchain technology. Bearshare had 1 employee and then came edonkey with Jed and his business guy but later with overnet they hired one of my friends to assist. So, small or solo teams outpace large teams because decision making remains frictionless. I'm not sure why these cryptos have large teams because ETH burned through 9 Million USD and now they are trying to re-code it in C++ while asking for more $$$. I think largely people are mislead because of the lack of actual real developers in the crypto-currency space make them think it requires a team. Peercoin is still developed by one person after all of these years and doing fine but only because it has a real programmer. Steve Jobs didn't need a team to build a computer, that came later.
2. This project doesn't need further financing. When I started the project I injected 200K of my own fiat into it as a round of Angel funding. Additionally, we have an MBA that contributes to the project weekly and an attorney on retainer. Lastly and only in case of emergency we have reserved 10% of the coinbase reward via incentive rewards for development purposes so in the rare event funds are needed we already have the solution in place however I cannot see this happening for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for your support.
