retroactive grants are cool but they require builders take on all the risk (build it and you *might* get *some* funding) an alternative ✨proactive✨ approach:

I think there is a mistake in your thinking. I make vastly more money hourly than with Kiwi News and so my risk-free rate is incredibly high. But consider, in 99% or my freelance work, I do not retain ownership in my work, so I cannot gain from it after the fact. You have to factor this in.

sorry where’s the mistake? what i’m proposing gives you the same amount of money per hour worked *and* ownership if you voluntarily work for a lower hourly rate then that’s on you

Nobody will pay for my „risk-free“-level freelance work rate to build @kiwi while I retain full ownership. This is not a hypothetical argument, it is reality. When you freelance, the client takes on 99% of project risk and ownership, hence the high pay. When you retain ownership, that‘s part of your compensation.

btw @nonlinear.eth I already did this and here are 1y of accounting statements: https://github.com/rugpullindex/documents/tree/master/statements/accounting I took 10k€/m and it was great. I retained ownership but the project was entirely vendor locked on their protocol (no ownership) (1/x)

reread the proposal tim, i’m not suggesting you retain full ownership. by ✨sharing it✨ you incentivize others to also share in the risk
