I would assume the development alone of a working prototype that is able to collect some interesting data and transmit them from isolated locations (appeared to be the main idea) will cost in the range of 20-50k $.

I could do it for much less, based on commodity hardware like the Raspberry pi or other arm-based minicomputers and commodity sensors.
5-10k for development (1-2 months of work), around 150$ hardware costs for the device per unit.
What state is the middleware/condensator in? Could we just use MQTT?

Please keep the IoT idea, this is what makes this project special.

Maybe you can code. But are you aware with chemical analytics? Or communication analytics? It's not enough to take a pi and code some lines...

I think it's good that you are sceptical n3r0d1n. A newbie, who just arrived passing by requesting 5-10k for developments. Who would do that. Huh

In terms of strategy, branding, marketing. We have to create & form a team first, with real names, real pictures, put them on the website.
With bright captions and job descriptions. The result will be a total different setup, but that is what you need
if you don't want it to result as the last time. We need a different approach to succeed!

Future investors want a transparant project, with a reliable team and trustworthy dedicated people involved.

I think Obavi made a brave move to explain his personal situation (hopefully it's not just because his staking yield went down Tongue

),
I admire his openness and I think it could contribute if he remains close to the project, open and showing pure dedication without dropping his attention and not falling back in some sort of a passive burn-out dude. And make sure you involve the right people who are able to maintain a positive synergy and have the needed competentions.

And regarding the '1. Modifying staking rewards'
This is priority #1, the current POS rewards block market increasement completely
currently RAIN is an inflation coin, bring the POS reward down to 15% / 20% max
