    Proposal: Core Team Compensation (November)

    Ryan could you share details about where people are working (on thr planet)? And the state of moral? My knee jerk response was that comp seemed too low. I'm worried about attrition, code theft, and/or "Ex-Dash Core DEV launches ICO" headlines. If we are mixing eastern europe devs with...
