"...it's possible to ship without needing to rort the DHF for funding."
I am sure happy to see this statement, and the action supporting it. I sure hope it's working out for you, and Hive, devs, and users. I'm late to the party here, so all I can do is tip in support of your initiative and very intelligent development, but I wanted you to be aware of my support.
I haven't had the opportunity to investigate the bounty mechanism you've created (and I am not a dev, so don't even know if it applies to me personally) as I've just now seen this, but if I can catch a break in my personal and professional life, I will soon, and offer any insight if I have anything potentially useful to provide.
Thanks!
