Please lets have a discussion about something that I feel is really important and neglected so far: I deeply believe that beside progress in the tech of Shield we need to further build and involve the community. By introducing a fund that is fed by a percentage of the network fee, POS/POW and master node rewards we obtain liquidity that would be controlled by the community using a democratic voting mechanism. These funds can be used for exchange listings, hiring/paying people for marketing and for development in general. Some cryptocurrency projects already employed this system and it is proven to be very effective to make the coin sustainable since it helps to build/involve the community and to stimulate development. Why don't we aim for something similar for Shield?

Let's make the community’s voice a tool that can move things!  Wink

Creating a democratic voting mechanism that isn't easily exploitable that directly pays for stuff is very hard. The devfee is something we're considering. We'll take a look if we can work on a voting system but it probably will only serve as a suggestion mechanism to prevent people from making us spend funds on weird protocols.
