A minimal, compatible RPC interface would be nice.
As a thought experiment, what would things look like without executives where the executive salaries (and perhaps other corporate overhead) were paid directly to developers? Maybe this could happen closer to the protocol and the devs could get more ZEC? What are the main benefits of the current corporate structures? Do these outweigh the costs? Perhaps the corporate entity structure(s) are needed for X or Y? What are these things?
Could the structures be minimized to send more value to engineers and waste less effort with politics? I’m not sure. I like drinking this koolaid from time to time: Aftok Founding Principles
What are the biggest barriers to reducing or eliminating the corporate structures that seem to provoke politics and bickering (while spending money that might be better sent to individuals contributing code)?
