I am in favor of a donation system. I am especially in favor of a donation system where Steemit would be willing to donate a few million Steem (or more) to jump-start the system. It is Steemits personal stake, but the community has shown overwhelming support in taking some of that early mined Steem and put it towards a public worker proposal system. From here we can have declined post go to the rewards, and even add a donation % on the UI when upvoting. If 50%+ of Steemians gave 1-10% of their upvote for the fund, it could add up pretty quickly. How about in the instance there is not enough funds and there is something the community really wants down that requires hiring developers? We could have a raise for something pressing like that. Also adding badges for people that donate, fun stuff on the UI side would further increase donations. Have a donation leader board. ETC.
If the vote turns out to be in favor of taking the funds from a current inflation source, I would be in favor of taking a little from all pools, except for witnesses funds as blockchain security is always concern number one.

Protip: donate with your dapp accounts for extra marketing. :)
I like theycallmedan's idea.
I am supporting a duel system of donations and declined reward (burn post) money to start with. This + a start up stake from Steemit Inc. should be more than enough to see some results so that the community can then better decide if and how much additional funding it should receive.
Using rewards from declined rewards for Steem development is an excellent idea! Perhaps dust as well!
^ Same
Pilot - based on donations/manual transfer from STINC and steemians
Once proven - UI based auto donations from earned rewards - think earning above certain STEEM on a post automatic deduction and under certain amount STEEM with option of opt-out.
Last resort - Temp inflation ( decided on a quarterly basis)
You basically want a TAX at the source are you a french politicans lol :)
that's an idea...
I personally think that Steemit should have control of their own stake. If they choose to delegate to a effort to help pay for open source development, that would be awesome! But it's up to them. Yes, they "ninja mined" their stake, but that's the same thing they've done since, sucked at documentation. That needs to change.
It would be nice if there were something that we could all delegate to, follow their trail, and set as a beneficiary, to reward work on Steem though.
All pools will be carrying the load.
It's 1% of the yearly inflation of 8.574% everyone holding steem will participate.

Can't say anything better 😂
