@barton26 you left out math, all math that better proves ravon's point and I have some major points based over the past 1.5yr of my 3 years being involved.
Quoting barton26 " Invoices for the month of December 2018 show our developers billed for a total of 46.25 hours " oh so the math and total doesn't matter since it's only 46.25hr? 46.25 x $60hr is $2775usd for December 2018 alone. OK what and or how did this help the end users value , crunchers value? Only your pocket along with other dev's. That's only December 2018 so someone needs to post a spreadsheet since the dev team went public and open per the vote but in actuality closed and the GRC8 clique. You guys have rejected improvement and advancements from the community and unless you are part of the slack secret squirrel club that $60hr amount and vote to community dev does not include you. I know because although my first fix submission was ignored and 8 months latter code @barton26 was paid for fixing /src/net.cpp lines 113-118 at that time as Gridcoin's centralized seed nodes as they were 2/3rd @cm-steem's nodes dns and he learned about round ribbon DNS. Peppernrhino's code submissions were ignored and I am sure countless others. But people like Caraka fixing GUI typo's from code paid for already dev's just did , so our ethical value is to bill 2-3 times for the same code 1rst to be changed 2nd to fix typo's and 3rd because you didn't get it right the first time.
So where and how has this helped and benefited the community? It has not , a matter of fact the value of Gridcoin not only tanked from thomasb hack-n-hire screwing the community July 4th 2017 but it has tanked and absolutely no recovery since Rob Halford was pushed out of his own half ass mix n match multi coin code.
You cannot milk something that is dying , the current system and methods are not working , yes the fake foundation aka wallet ID Gridcoin Foundation has over $1,000,00usd but thats not there to pay $3000mo to dev's matched at $3000 for marketing when neither is increasing the end user's value ( i'm sure the lack of ethics and theft of idea's and work of others and people from the grc8 like dutch fraudulently installing Boinc on machines and our wonderful trusted community members shrug it like other crap and lie and hide it } I mean FFS cm-steem is still stuck on his own SSL BS after the community said screw an SSL project req but every new application to be whitelisted he makes sure to point it out. Just like our fearless mature leader cm-steem screwed the Gridcoin relationship with Prime Grid and they forced us to drop them.
25,000grc = $100usd W T F is that? I support ravon's " fix the project " vs barton's " let's bleed it dry , at-least us 8 got overpaid " business model. People coded for free prior to the first pay vote far below $60hr and if you fully back and support the open-source project the $$$hr pay vs killing the project should be more important to you.
