I think new membership applications deserve a vote from existing BU members, either way they decide to vote.

I don't buy that people are too busy to take a minimal amount of time to consider new applicants.

The voting spans over five (5) days.

 

[chriswilmer]

@freetrader who are you responding to?

 

[freetrader]

@chriswilmer : nobody in particular, but all BU members.

It's a precis of a message I posted in #general of BU slack, so I'm assuming most people have seen it already, but I thought it's better to post it in the Voting thread since it's a voting topic.

It would be a sad day if new applications fail due to lack of quorum.

 

[solex]

Going to close the vote now as it has been open 4.8 days out of the maximum of 5 days.

Congratulations to our new contractors for want of a better term.

Now that we have a quantifiable burn rate we should direct a little focus towards generating revenue. @Peter R I'd like to think you have some time to consider this even if just supafichialy.

The obvious one to me is a mining pool or research that has some revenue potential.

@Peter Tschipper also worth considering who benefits the most from your work, and if revenue were to be generated, where could it come from.

I'm not expecting any answers merely that you consider where we could get revenue to sustain these positions longer term.
