Best of luck finding people to support you in your endeavors.
I am convinced on more than just one level that patronage is the right way to move forward.
1) Those who want to help me can now do so. (and I can properly reward them for doing so)
2) Those who don't want to support me can just sit on their pile of SPR and angrily wave their fist.

That's how I see it. I love it that some people hate patronage, it's exactly the people that I already expected won't like it.
BTW, regarding cockroaches, I didn't mean you specifically. But feel free to be offended.
When a hamster meets a cockroach you know what happens:

Unfortunately, the people who bought into the project a long time ago just got the protocol of the development changed. We have no choice but to support you. Well, aside from selling at -10X. Or pouring more money in. Neither sounds great to me. So I guess I fall into the category (currently) as someone who sits on their
pile of SPR.
I think your manner of engaging with individuals will be unlikely to get you much for money and I think it would be wise of you (the capitalist in you) to treat people around here with a bit more respect, for your sake.
