I mean at the current price. If anyone is interested to develop, he can just buy in, no need to ask for donation or bounty. But any way, collaboration is also important.
Dash's voting/governance is a way of collaboration. It maybe suit for a coin with such marketcap. But I don't think it's suit for coins with smaller marketcap.
For example:
Developer A want's to develop a software feature, it will need 2 months to complete. Average salary for a developer is 8000 USD. So it will need 16000 USD, around 3500000 TRC! Around 20 % of the total supply.

Do you think it's feasible?

Even with the first step, implement the masternode/voting system, I think if 1~2 very capable developers to complete coding/testing (even copy & paste from Dash), I think it will at least need 1 month. That means 10000 USD is a minimum.

That's why I think you should forget about the Dash masternode/voting.

TRC evolve slowly by itself is the most feasible option right now, unless some rich shark wants to acquire it.

I get what you mean now.

But it will never slowly evolve without help and very few people are willing to help. You have helped in the past and there are a couple other people but that is about it. We can't even get the bug fixed that coinwarz is having because we don't have steady developers. I don't have time to beautify Reddit, etc.

The idea behind the decentralized governance is that right now people will invest their time and energy into the project for a small TRC reward but once the price goes up their TRC will be worth more. We will also be able to work towards real changes to make TRC unique instead of just copy and pasting from other coins with a real development team.

Using your same example we will never get 10k USD to implement any features via donations.

You guys are really fighting the wrong fight here. This is a great thing, and will help improve everything about TRC.

Terracoin needs more active development then I can provide or pay for and this is the way to do it.

Once the decentralized governance and the masternodes is in place you guys can proposal all sorts of things such as improvements to the website, reddit, etc and it will probably get done.

As long as you have a masternode, and at 10K TRC that is cheap. Also remember it goes down each month by 1k and you also get 45% of the block rewards per month/number of masternodes. Early adopters of this will get a grip of Terracoin that they can sell for a large profit once the price rises and we find our own way.
