Hard to see a good solution if it's to be open source too. Any attempt by a developer to gain a reward for their efforts can be undone with a quick hack.

Solutions that require altruism from miners are possibly doomed to fail?

Equally I can't see why a talented coder would work hard to support a system making everyone else money except him.

Sorry, but that statement is completely false. I suggest you re-read the entire history of the situation first before posting that kind of stuff....& you obviously don't understand what Open Source is, what it offers, what it represents, how it works or what it stands for.

As for the "making money" thing:

..as of 21st June - you can click the addresses to see the latest balances.

Suggesting it be closed source would be suicide - just ridiculous.... Roll Eyes
