[Qgis-psc] Financing QGIS through Dev Protocol

[Andreas Neumann]

Dear P.,

Thank you for your suggestion about using devprotocol.xyz.

Can you please describe in a few sentences what this devprotocol.xyz thing
is about? I understand this has to do with electronic currencies like
Ethereum. How does this work in practice - what does it mean for us as a
community, what effort does it take to participate and what benefit can be
expected from this system. Do our users have drawback when we participate
in this system?

Thank you for explaining the system in a few simple sentences.

Andreas
