I Would recommend NOT burning. simply because the coins would Not go to developers, but rather the community. it would allow the devs to test, give out, support and effectively promote the entire Espers Project.
i personally believe this could be invaluable for the project. but again the community has the final say. if the community as a whole tells to either to do it or not to do it we will listen. if it is a near tie, then the dev team will have the final say. therefore please voice your opinions, alternate solutions, or even a counter argument.
Something else to consider: "
the community as a whole" is not all represented on this forum to discuss ideas. How many wallets is there? How many voices are talking.. It is a forum (not a election box).. Many others who hold espers by me strongly oppose this too.. so if there is a vote somehow we must keep in mind all forums and all folks who might not really be in crypto yet besides Espers and all those who may not have English as there first language. this is almost near impossible to decide what the community in whole wants. And how do we know if these votes are real votes how do we prove it.. This is a unnecessary distraction if not a impossible task.. It's just best to keep growing the community and espers
something else:
"the community has the final say" I don't mean to be rude but the developers need to lead the way and they have the final say.. look at other projects.. Of course. But any successful project must have leaders and wise decisions makers.. Not blow by the wind voting or what's popular right now.. this didn't start out with rights (many just hold tokens and have contributed nothing. some have) just a common goal to take this to the finish line.. Economics aside any project to be successful it must follow it's outline. If we are to succeed we must keep leading.. (maybe not everyone will tag along) But to keep the vision we must not sway, right or left,, we must stay on course..
I agree with this.
@CryptoCoderz, I definitely see your point. I can also see how using unswapped coins for a "community fund" would make sense from a philosophical standpoint ... although the same argument from DigitalCurrencyConsultant applies to that fund, unless you have some Decred-like community voting you should not only base your decisions on voices in this forum (including me)! Do what is right.
