As the core idea of the merger was to acquire more developers. Let's start drumming up ideas how we can onboard new talent to the darkcoin team. There needs to be some sort of incentive or clever marketing to weed out some of the good devs
I'll happily donate half my MN earnings to a developer fund if devs are needed, and I think they are. As long as it goes to professional devs hired/contracted who have real names and real experience, not some faceless cryptognat clown.
You are not alone there, but it is not a big field of donators. The foundation will be trying that, but competent developers are expensive, that's why we were exploring different ideas.
I'm happy to donate half my MN earnings as we'll. We could create dev payment MNs where those masternodes are joint funded/donated but the earnings are used to pay devs. I'm just trying to think outside the box.
