my thoughts... what if you guys create a not for profit foundation burn some of these coins with funds created from a ipo or something and start to invite more people to join the team.
Thanks for your own thoughts. It's a good idea, and it's feasible in Canada (my home country.) A Canadian non-profit can have citizens of other countries on its board of directors. The wrinkle point is moving from a non-profit to a registered charity. The obvious good-work would be "education," but I think the Canadian tax authority wouldn't be that co-operative unless the charity offered free tutorials in NFD's programming languages: Java (for the server), HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript (for the client) and SQL (for the H2 database). The benefit would be in goodwill: students who learn these languages "from us" would be more likely than most to pitch in with NFD development.
You're absolutely right in that we need talent...I'm going to work on that once I finish the "Owner's Manual"...
So things look MUCH better than I thought. And you seem to have the gift with the bureaucratic part with all the writing and patience here hehe. New devs could be very interested to join the non-profit/charity as there would be more to NFD than just another alt coin option. From that you can learn lot's with
www.Stellar.org, no need to reinvent the wheel just put it into practice. Maybe I don't know a new coin maybe NFD 2.0 with current holders allowed to sell their coins at a fair rate that the foundation could buy back or something like Startcoin did transferring to StartCoin 2.0 just a thought.
I see a big opportunity here due to the dedication you guys are putting into this project.
