I like MyFarm's idea of a % of the block reward going to a transparent and accountable Spread Foundation, but I've proposed the same thing for Darkcoin several times and know how unpopular an idea it is.

People talk about principles but for most what it boils down to is that they can't bring themselves to give up a little now for a greater return down the line.* If your principles are so steadfast, how about supporting the adoption of Spread by contributing a little to its development, marketing, promotion? Relying on volunteer contributions isn't going to work.

Half the Spread Foundation's income from any block reward split could go to some worthy cause and Spread would still be better funded than just about anything but Ripple and the mindboggling nonsense that is Ethereum.

Nearly everyone on this forum seems to think that anyone or anything in the crypto scene matters at all to the rest of the world - it doesn't, at all, because the rest of the world doesn't even know we exist.

Getting the message out to the masses is going to take more that technical merit and wishful thinking.

When you have shitty phone apps that are valued in billions but something like Spread is valued three orders of magnitude less, you're doing something wrong. Maybe we need a crowdfunding campaign...

*edit: not once though in this thread have I heard any SPR miner complain, at all, that the block reward is going to get split between them and MN operators. This has been an absolutely fantastic and refreshing change from the Darkcoin thread, where miners have generally done nothing but bitch and moan about Masternode payments... so thank you fellow Spread miners for understanding that MNs will increase the value of SPR and are in your financial interest.

I think giving up more then 5% of the block reward to the "foundation" is way too much. I would definately support 1%
