Again, that's all cool, but how do you pay for the project? Self funded? That means (somewhat) rich people. At least by my definition. Yours might be "not irresponsible" but either way few are included.

You can do what Monero is doing which is people working part time, voluntary funding through donations, etc. We get some work done certainly, but it isn't exactly turbocharged. If the tortoise indeed wins the race, we may well do fine. You seem a bit panicked about the world, so perhaps you want things to move faster. You better have a good team of rich/non-irresponsible people lined up to make a run for it.
