Some factual corrections for future readers:

OK what and or how did this help the end users value , crunchers value?

• Less forks.
• Data propagation for the new scraper -> less bandwidth usage and better BOINC project relations.
• Headless support for 32bit Windows users.
• Improvements to gridcoin.us.

That's only December 2018 so someone needs to post a spreadsheet since the dev team went public and open per the vote

That should be trivial since all the invoice history is available in the CCT thread.

...but in actuality closed and the GRC8 clique.

?

I know because although my first fix submission was ignored and 8 months latter code Hive account@barton26 was paid for fixing /src/net.cpp lines 113-118

Hive account@barton26 was eligible for developer compensation 2 months after the fix, and started submitting invoices several months after that. So he did not get paid for that fix.

Peppernrhino's code submissions were ignored and I am sure countless others.

Here are rino's merged PRs:

https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/pull/1337
https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/pull/1246
https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/pull/1051

But people like Caraka fixing GUI typo's from code paid for already dev's just did

caraka is not covered by the compensation.

so our ethical value is to bill 2-3 times for the same code 1rst to be changed 2nd to fix typo's and 3rd because you didn't get it right the first time.

Well, developers are just normal people, not demigods. We make and correct mistakes done by ourselves and others. Are you proposing the payment should only cover new code and not bugfixes or debugging? There has probably been well over 300-400 hours soaked into investigating fork issues due to inherited bugs. Some were billed, the vast majority weren't.

So where and how has this helped and benefited the community?

See above.

matter of fact the value of Gridcoin not only tanked from thomasb hack-n-hire screwing the community July 4th 2017 but it has tanked and absolutely no recovery since Rob Halford was pushed out of his own half ass mix n match multi coin code.

Invalid correlation assumptions, the value of everything has tanked. If you are talking about the 100000 block that was 2017-08-21, not in July. If you are referring to the magnitude exploit that was 2017-06-02, not in July. Incidentally, the price skyrocketed the day after the first incident and then again 3 months after the second. So thank you, Tomas?

like dutch fraudulently installing Boinc on machines

That never happened.

Just like our fearless mature leader cm-steem screwed the Gridcoin relationship with Prime Grid and they forced us to drop them.

That also did not happen. Primegrid decided that no cryptos were allowed, and they did that without any Gridcoin user interaction.

I support ravon's " fix the project " vs barton's " let's bleed it dry

Hive account@barton26 wants that as little as I do. He proposed a less drastic approach which cuts the payment from $60/h to a lower value such as $30, $20 or $15. I support that suggestion and we will launch a poll with only USD options. It's a good middle ground.
