Q2

Would you be open to hiring a ZCG note taker via a bounty, say from ZecHub or FPF?

This would accomplish a few things:

  1. More decentralized
  2. Shielded ZEC can be earned
  3. New pathway for someone to learn the way of not only the ecosystem but also ZCG
  4. Notes can be published much faster, say within a day or two
  5. Translations to other languages!

It has been said that ZCG members end up working far more hours that what originally was thought they would. Do you agree with this? Do you think ZCG members should be a full-time role? What about compensation for their time?
