longtime the goal must be bind a dev to the coin by give him shitload ecc so the success of coin is his own success
pay dev in other currency will not make him coin loyal
but i agree for first emergency fix this fast action must be done
let him help u set up a checkpoint and give u a guide how to use it this way at least u prevent future forks
(or lets say always the fork with checkpoint wins...)
i think a dev bound longterm to ecccoin need to be attracted with something like at least 200 million ecc (should be around 1% of actuall existing coins or?)
im willing to donate 10 million ecc for the new dev who stay with coin
now just seek 19 other stakeholder who do the same
