Putting money in Gulden / NOVO is similar to purposely dropping your soap in the prison shower.
All comes down to economics, the more money the Gulden community pay towards Novo the less the Gulden community will get out of the developers. Rijk is in charge of the developers as the founder on both projects and he will stipulate how the developers will use the time they have. As a developer myself and I am in a situation where I have 2 managers asking me to do work, the priority has always gone towards the revenue generating work. You give more towards Novo and Novo brings in many buyers, Rijk won't give the time of day to Gulden, it's this simple. I don't have to know him to know how life works.
I have thought of a solution that can work for everyone involved.
Why don't gulden holders get the option to do a coin swap with Novo and kill the Gulden chain after 3 months, only keep it for users that still need to swap.
It makes the most sense because there is 10 billion Novo at 4 Euro each and Gulden is 523 million at 0.006 Euro. For people to swap it won't make a dent in the Novo supply and the developers focus on 1 project.
Gulden is a dumping ground for early adopters and the dev rewards is not helping. With Novo the reward is only 0.2, my God can you imagine if Gulden only had 0.2 reward. Price would fly!!
Novo is a copy of Gulden and people witnessing Gulden can witness Novo, mining uses SIGMA. I don't think Rijk will mind sharing part of the 10 billion premine for the coin swap and he absorbs the entire Gulden community into Novo. This is a fair solution because Gulden is getting fucked hard with the rewards where Novo has major unfair advantage with 0.2 reward per block every 5 minutes.
