Would you be willing to help fund the development by giving a 5%, or maybe even 10%, beneficiary on your posts?

Since the SPS is already taking part of the reward pool, it simply makes more sense if we could just reactivate it. Right now, the handful of us who are building tools/DApps are doing it cause it's cool to work on apart from our 9 to 5 job(At least that's the case with me).

The other avenues of funds for development can also be promoted posts on Steem. This is basically the author paying a certain fee to the developer of the site to have his post featured/promoted in a highly visible region of the website.
