Are there any plans to get this project self-funded and self-governanced? Maybe some schemes as in DASH? They have developed an incentivisation model of network participants by dividing block reward into 3 parts.
1st part (45%) goes to miners, 2nd part (45%) goes to full-nodes (masternode in DASH), and 3rd (10%) goes to the budget, which is to be spent among different proposals (including core team reward) based on poll results.
