I feel Jake's pain!!! Due to lack of donations upon release of roadmap and whitepaper the new devs will now have to withdraw their support.
These devs had the right experience having worked on different global mobile money projects and the right interest and programming skills however they had not been involved in Crypto hence to pay them some minimum stipends in BTC and Pesa for the 2 month revival work. 4BTC and 1M Pesa was very reasonable for the roadmap highlighted. Other devs on this forum ask for hundreds of BTC.
Anyway wish you guys all the best as I don't see any need continuing in a project with no community support.
You guys made a very poor offer that most wouldn't even remotely want as presented:
-- No one knows who you are, any of you.
-- You as for money, not much but some, with not even a remote guarantee that anything will actually be delivered.
Just because people are left with no options it doesn't mean they would take what looks like way worse than doing nothing...
Here's how you do this when you really want to do it:
-- We are going to work on reviving PESA for 2 months and we require full support from the community. Price of PESA is 100 SAT. If we get the price to 1,000 sat in 2 months time, the community will donate to us 5 million pesa. 10% of which, 500,000 will be donated now as a good will gesture and kept in escrow by the top holder, Jake the Panda. If we get the price to 2,000 sat or beyond, 6 months, additional 5 million PESA will be donated to us by the community.
How about that?
If you deliver, you will be handsomely compensated; if you don't, you wont. That's incentive. That's how thinks get done.
