It's sadge that we have no clarity on the above. It's poor form to keep people in limbo status on what is seemingly a easy decision to make.
Gulden operates uniquely to other coins. Its a hybrid setup with centralised funding for development but Rijk doesn't take responsibility for the coins success or failure outside of development. This is left to the supporters of Gulden to make a success. This is what I read from Rijks previous posts which is good that he is transparent about it.
niet stemmers is a political party in the Netherlands, has a similar concept of centralized funding through taxation for no work or responsibility. The Dutch voters didn't like the idea but they were transparent about it. Sounds familiar?
Niet stemmers had a good idea because politics was in a poor state 4 years ago. Knowing a thing or two about politics in the Netherlands, any political party that stands for elections needs to pay over 11000 euros to participate. The salary for parliamentarians is about 7500 euros and if you don't attend you won't get paid. Its that simple.
I also don't believe Mr Plasmas needs the 7500 euros a month to survive when he most likely earns 5 times more a month as a lawyer.
