The idea is not to pay for people full time, but it would be more of a symbolic gesture to attract developers and get them some coins. People with coins are also more motivated to make the project more valuable, otherwise you have a "tragedy of the commons" problem. Not that I don't agree Gavin with getting a salary but that's a completely independent issue :) JS --000e0cd58e98b46e0204a9102283 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
