They say there is no "dev fee" on the new Zhash miner. Very kind of them, but it seems to me that a 1% fee to cover some expenses such as exchange fees, development costs and publicity might be an easy way to raise some cash? Most of us are already paying some kind of developers fee on the miner we are using. "Our guys" developed this algo and the coming miner didn't they, so it's only fair that they and the community reap some benefit when other coins start to use it, also. Mining and keeping open wallets and stabilizing the network for the benefit of all would also then raise money for the community and bounties for developers. Who knows who might take an interest in this coin with some greater bounties? Just my thinking out loud here as I haven't seen any discussion anywhere of the possibilities opening up with the creation of this one-off miner. Surely someone will want to upgrade the miner soon and they might as well be paid to get after it ASAP as it would benefit all of us, eh? Not to mention exchange fees and publicity funds that could be raised. Anyone?
The introduction of 1% developer fee / community supporting fee might be a good idea, I would support that.
But what about the "No-Dev Tax" & "All contributors are volunteers" fundamentals? Doesn't it go against these?
