I would even go further than this. I used to make funding bids myself to people that would give out money to well meaning projects. I would make it milestones and targets based. Milestone not reached? Then there better be a good excuse or no money is given from that point.
As I found out last bull market you can't just give out money to people willy nilly with no expectations and a wish they will do what they said they would because it's never the case.
I'd also look at funding more 1st world projects as well because ultimately (and it sucks that it is this way) but those are the guys that bring the big bux to the chain so the little guys can earn lots from.
The way this is handled really winds me up the wrong way because it seems 99% of people on this chain agree with you, but no-one can stop it.
