Hi @SydneyPete welcome to the forums!
You have some great ideas, we are currently giving each proposal their own thread so that users can ask questions and hash out ideas without getting lost in this big thread.
For example this one: [ZIP 1004] Dev fund proposal: Miner Directed Dev Fund (was: 20% to any combination of ECC, Zfnd, Parity, or "burn")
Please post your idea as a new thread in the protocol - Zcash Community Forum category.
If your not sure how to do this let me know and I can do it for you
