Thanks, yes, this is very helpful. I think we're nearly there. I'll have a detailed explanation about the reason for the strike as soon as it is over.
well i don't blame you. you have put in time and effort to do this and you should be compensated if not paid for it. i actually prefer the grant system compared to the usual premine for bounties and etc. this way you actually have to do some work to receive grants and get paid, as people can always pull their votes out. anyway you have my vote till you have been funded sufficiently again.
