Are there any plans to hire a second developer after the formal plan is found? We should reserve some stakes for this. If ora will be not a simple clone, but a coin with solid tech and some new features it's quite a challenge for one dev.

Are you job hunting ?

..The thing about ORA is that there is no income source to pay anyone and the only reward that will come for those involved in the project is ORA. Also the ORA that is allocated will be decided on the work that a person has contributed to the project.
From the beginning Kora has been trying to encourage like minded people to become involved and this includes Devs

New people are ALWAYS welcome to join ORA community, and as frag said, most of the ORA coin supply is currently being kept in trust by our community treasurers for later distribution based on 'merit', as judged by the ORA community itself. This means ORA does not have any funds to pay people with now, other than ORA itself.

We could have had an IPO, and that would have given us the ability to 'pay' people to work on ORA more (maybe even full-time), and so make things move a lot quicker, but IMO the long term problems associated with an IPO would eventually outweigh any short term benefits. ORA is building a community, and has no designated leader, so everyone is acting voluntarily, and IMO that's the best model for long term survival for crypto projects.

So, we're not exactly 'hiring' any new developers, but we'll do our best to make sure those who contribute end up being compensated later in a way that recognises the communities overall judgement as to how much they 'contributed'.
