I would support you in this... this would be a "salary position" and not "give away funds"... so I support such a position.
Each delegate position earns about $2500 per month at todays market cap with 100% pay. It isn't much, but then again you are independently wealthy and are seeing your own stake grow.
I assume this $2500 a month is for a 'salary delegate' and not a standard delegate. Is there some official explanation of what a salary delegate is/how it works. I've obviously missed it.
A delegate with 100% pay rate under the new rules... 50 BTS per block.
What would be the issues/drawbacks of electing 10 regular pay MethodX delegates at $250/Month vs 1 'salary' delegate at $2500infused/month.
($250 is just a guess for current conditions, I could be way off here, if it requires 50 positions obviously this won't work)
Other than the obvious loss in decentralization. There are currently individuals with 4 or 5, and I'm willing to bet that with all the support shown here, that other delegates might be willing to redirect their pay to such a cause, myself being one.
I'm a little worried that we have immediately gone to option B, infuse capital. Rather than intelligently gathering the capital that is already being dispersed.
At the moment BM can, at his discretion elect any delegates he wants.(though >12%vote may need collaboration) As the marketcap grows, fewer and fewer delegate spots would be required to fund such a project. If need be, elect 10 different people who pledge support for this initiative rather than immediately opting for dilution.
I'd like to see a site where someone like MethodX can define his plan and delegates can pledge their support by offering some amount of their pay be redirected. If this could be automated via API, even better.
What would be wrong with this approach?
