Here is the message he sent me with the discussion he had with the developers.

There were other developers that chatted but only one person would throw out a figure. That figure was $20k . This would not encourage existing developers as $300k is a walk in the park for these guys. So this $20k figure would attract new blood looking to make a name for themselves. They wanted to know more about Crowd funding, so if you could come up with a proposal, I will run it past them and copy the whole conversation. Please do not quote individuals as this was a private chat and I think it goes against the i2p terms to copy and paste, not sure as noone reads the T&C's?

I'll get back to you with more info but the guys appreciated  the work we're putting in. They were only aware of ICO's bringing in devlopers, they didn't thinnk of crowdfunding. I think it's genious thinking of this investment method.

I've told them I would want to make the first updates based on the crowdfunding. Giving frequent updates on crowdfunding figures.

Going to Bed now as too tired to carry on the chat. Annoying that most devlopers are active at rediculous hours.

Thanks


Just the last window of our chat:

also C dont you remember meiers said gnosis idea with several smalller RSAUFO was not good
W're probably looking at new blood trying to make a name for themselves?
meiers say it is unsecure
ah
B, yep
that is true
being an underdog is difficult
well I cannot judge, although the idea makes sense, the gnosis asumption
if meiers say it is not good then maybe it is true
so the dev has to be cryptographer
gnosis just clearified
again orignal invented stuff for i2p that people tried for years so I do not think gnosis was wrong
cryptographers are hard to come by
I think a crowdfund may bring various developers into the ANC arena. All of which may contribute, but may not all lead to zerocoin implenation. It's a win win
B, how would you do a crowdfunder
it makes sense if number are big enough to resist both factoring method and you use several and according to the paper it is y probabilit one fail and several is y^x and then probability all fail is inversely proportional it all makes sense
That's Y's remit. We've delegated jobs. I'm the i2p guy who does the info gathering so he can do his bit
but again meiers said no and I cannot prove it as I am no cryptographer
only some cryptographer can say idea of gnosis was valid and decide to code it
