I really don’t think there needs to be this 50k CODE budget, certainly not with no real definition of how that number has been calculated and where it is going. no other revenue generation initiative is doing this, they are estimating hours they’ll put in and then calculating the $CODE rate. this is what I think should happen here given it is what is explicitly defined in [DRAFT 2] Rewarding Contributions in $CODE and that I just don’t see why this team should get way more governance rewards than anyone else.
the real rewards here are the revenue split.
I understand this hourly calculation isn’t ideal for most people but we do not have an alternative system and the deadline is today. It was created to avoid these protracted debates and make things simple/equal, albeit maybe not fair vs value created.
Believe these estimations could be pretty easy… you and @Erik_Knobl decide how many hours you’re each willing to contribute per week, then multiply that by roughly how many core team members you’re expecting to have.
we should definitely re-examine this in Season 1 though regarding the hourly rate and if we should continue using it, or not.
