I'm not in favour of projects using the posting reward pool to finance themselves, so that adds another hurdle.
Personally, I don't work for money but to create something, so a baseline would be covered. But I can't work out the algorithms all by myself for example, and when we add a front-end to the mix the amount of coding necessary just demands for more developers to get involved.
I failed once bringing a project that big (well, actually it was bigger and required more external knowledge than now) to life here, because I couldn't find contributors. That's why I started posting about it now, to see if there's positive feedback from people who would be able to help.
I'll definitely keep dabbling on it for a while now, and long term has to be seen.
My knowledge in coding is crappy to say the least, I'm kind of smart, but I originally studied mathematics on collage up to half the career, yet ended up going with accounting because I failed to adapt to the reality of Venezuela, it was either study or starve, and I ended up choosing the not starve, for obvious reasons, eventually I was left unable to graduate at all... But i do keep an eye for ideas like these in Hive, because all good seeds must be supported, even if my support is basically nothing, as a small account, yet i could at least do moral support and brainstorming :)
Anyway, any kind of funding is good to my eyes, but i do see how post revenue and reward pool as funding could be a bad idea at so many levels...
