I agree, I'm struggling since last year about how to contribute to Nostr development in a financially sustainable way. I have some ideas, but it is a long way to go. I found #nostrocket is a promising approach, but it is still in a very initial state. 

 yeah, i honestly can't really say how much of a good idea it is because it resembles many other forms of consensus i've seen and i think it is reinventing the wheel because it could be implemented with RGB 

 Your point with RGB is a good one, but I can't judge it deeply.
