I've always found that volunteerism doesn't actually work to get things done. If you want action, you have to provide financial incentive.

So, either Bitcoin or cash would work, I think. If it was up to me I'd run Karma like a for-profit business, incorporate, have a board of directors, and hire people to do what needs to be done. I'm not too sure about offshore work, but I suppose it could work for a couple of non-vital positions.

This may turn some people off (as it did before) but it's just a matter of staying competitive and crushing the competition (in a good, Karma-like way of course!)

(A bit of history for the newbies... Karma was the first coin to incorporate as a business, among other firsts)
