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 communitys voice a tool that can move things! Wink

agree Dash is a good model for this.

Yes, I'm talking about giving SHIELD the tool to be able to act as a decentralized autonomous organization that is based on a system similar to that of DASH. Please watch their explanations given on their website and in the video: https://www.dash.org/governance/

I understand that the development of such a system takes time and can only be implemented step by step. Thus, starting with a dev fee is definitely good and important but we should not stop there as decentralization also means to include the community in the process of decision-making.

Such a system would at least take another 6 months to get right. But thanks for the suggestion we'll certain look into developing it.
