Instead of running an ico and giving out worthless tokens, what if an open sourced project ran completely on donations from the community. Would you donate if you believed in it and felt it was needed in the crypto space?
Even small donations like .00001 BTC or .01 ETH
Depending on the project you are talking on if the community would find out that this would really be exceptional or completely different into other traditional projects then you might get some donations but it would really be only on slim chances yet people doesnt entrust easily someone on online world just proclaiming that they do have a good idea and would like to ask a donation. Even though those numbers are just small but still we are talking money on here.
