Regarding funding development, the ideal long term solution is a situation in which the bigger economic picture is such that devs work on projects they support, and others do other work on those projects they support, according to their area of expertise. Putting too much emphasis on funding development is asking for shitcoins. On the other hand though, the market is not there yet and it is still necessary to pay people to work on some coins.
It's risky for new people to get into coins with no funding and unknown future. I've been around for quite a while and for me it was enough to read a few posts by gjhiggins and d5000. I saw professionalism and dedication and decided to stick around. But other people would probably like to read something about roadmap, funding and stuff like that.
Or maybe Slim isn't at the point where it's ready spread around. I'm new here, don't really know ) Anybody can answer that by the way? At what point Slim at the moment? gjhiggins said that the wallet is not stable enough to add Slim to Cryptopia for example. But somehow it's stable enough for Nova. I'm not a dev, so I don't get it. Can we try to add it on other exchanges or we need to wait for a more stable client?
Also can someone write a good short article about Slim? What it has to offer now and where development is heading. We could push it then to some media. Even cointelegraph maybe.
