I backed it after the final call the other week (before @freedom privately funded) but there isn't much incentive for me through what they offer. I did it because it should be done.
I think for many here, the only use a project has is if it adds value to their post payouts which is why those with delegation do well but die if they lose it.
Yeah, they would very much struggle without all the delegated SP - the contributions would fall right off I think.
One of the goals of the new project is to acquire funding from outside, I'm not sure how that is going at present. It is the best time to invest in crypto, but the folks with the fat wallets don't see that and will likely be buying when stuff is getting expensive again :)
