Bitcoin ABC Dev: “We Have Close to Zero Funding,” Should Bitcoin Cash Be Self-Funded?
Bitcoin ABC’s lead developer highlighted the lack of development funding for the project, raising questions as to the volunteer-basis structure of developing Bitcoin Cash’s implementations.
One of the several implementations of Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin ABC was criticized for developers not signing releases and allowing verification with checksums. When lead developer Amaury Sechét replied that no infrastructure was set up to do this, and was asked why this is, he replied by outlining the voluntary nature of his position, as well as an acute lack of funding from the community:
“Yes it is. My job has been to do this, plus being webmaster of two sites, plus community manager, plus lead dev, plus specs, plus negotiate with exchanges, miner and alike, plus, plus plus. We have close to zero funding to hire people to do it, and as far as the community goes, we have a lot of words of support, but not much actual work done.”
Like many of the first cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin Cash has no funding mechanism specifically set up to deal with development. This is also compounded by the project’s development being spread across several different implementations rather than a cohesive, singular team.
