Thanks for the response. Basically it is tough to say without a definition of what the essential "basic tasks" are, how much it costs to perform them, and what is the appropriate reward for performing them (I do not believe people should simply break even and do this for free). If we knew that amount, then we could decide if there is a surplus of witness rewards that could be used to fund worker proposals. Thanks for explaining this so clearly. As far as figuring out the tasks and rewards... I think I'll leave that one to the experts.
