I can be wrong, but in my 5 year crypto experience, i see many donate-based projects, and catch one intresting moment:
- projects, where people willing to donate, it s projects where dev (s) working some time for free, until they can show to community minimal mvp (wallet, basic website, basic branding, basic pool, roadmap) and can show that - with donates - it s really room to grow.
- projects, where devs say - guys, let s donate me fixed amount in month (5-10-20k $) and i wrote you a new ETH. But donate first.
It can be worked, but only if you experienced crypto dev, with reputation and nice track record.
If not - this model in 99% of time not work.
I dont want to discourage you and i really wish to success to circcash, but i see you dont understand how things work in cryptoworld.
To make it simple - work first, people will donate after (if they see your work is good and have room to grow).
Naming people "cheapskates" and asking support you with donates (in advance) - really, not a brilliant idea.
