Just implement the tax system dash and pivX are doing ok and bitbay are considering it.

How can being taxed piss anyone off. You pay a tiny % in block tax and see a large % increase in your overall value of holdings due to developers keeping pace or rising above other leading projects dev teams.

People who object to the tax are free to dump to stronger hands who see the need of a well funded and motivated dev team.

Of course full ledger and voting system would be nice to direct funds where community sees need most.

I no longer even look at coins where there is no funding and the dev is selling what few coins he had at the start to live. His motivation shrinks daily to continue the project. Tax supplies constant source of funding.
