Following up a discussion from @p4u1 @ammaratef45 and myself.

The current way of receiving money to hack on abra is pass a resolution with a budget or to find an issue which is considered a critical fix. This is all well and good however, it doesn't provide any stability on the side of the abra hackers for how much work they can expect on a monthly basis and how much compensation they can earn (paying the rent, etc.). Setting up something stable that abra hackers can rely on could unlock a more stable supply of fixes and improvements.

It would be good to get a democratic "blank cheque" of X hours a month at ideally, 50 EUR an hour (proposed via p4u1/ammar based on monthly costs), for abra hacking. You could argue we need to wait for radmin before pursuing this. The thought is also that this could be trialed on a 3 month basis now because we have 7k in the bank 😛

I don't have time to push it any further but someone could work through this idea and make the proposal!
