Literally, yes, payments to you do reduce CC coffers, but thats not a criticism of you. I feel the same for any recurring dev salaries, e.g. Yeastplume, and just used you as an example.
I think the investment in your time has been worthwhile, honestly. I only mean to suggest it would be better if there was an alternative funding source for indefinite tasks, such as Grin++ developement/maintenance. That way Grin++ can become self sustaining, and we can reserve CC funds for bootstrapping new projects. I don’t have a suggestion how to achieve this though
