Thank you - this is a perfectly valid rant. The solution is the opposite of what you suggest. The budget needs to be loaded with proposals that are competing for scarce funding. Not happy with the pace of Core development? Put together a team of devs and submit a proposal for funding. The...

I suggest that you post the proposal text here, with a link to your website. Just providing link alone makes it look like you are just looking google-love, especially since this is your first post. I also suggest you do more to get involved with the community before doing a proposal. Provide an...

I'm guessing Copay.

@HashEngineering should be able to help you, since they built it. Just to confirm, you are using the HashEngneering wallet, not Jaxx or something else?

This makes very good sense to me. As a proposal owner, I am very happy with the open discussion from the entire community that takes place on the pre-proposal forum. It's redundant for the same thing to happen on Dash Central -- I would much prefer that the discussion there be focused on and...

I suppose I could calculate it for myself, but is there a site that has it?

I know web wallets are not ideal, but they can be simple to get someone started with low amounts of Dash. Have web wallets been totally discredited as a viable solution?

@marketingmonk -- you don't need us for your proposal, but I would be remiss if I didn't at least offer you the services of DashBudgetWatch: https://fundchan.com/dashbudgetwatch Our first two projects are fully backed, and we are always on the lookout for more proposals to sponsor. I'm a big...

Which is exactly why we need an agent in Hollywood representing Dash. HERO is reviewing scripts every day, looking for opportunities for their clients. If they see bitcoin mentioned in a script, that is a golden opportunity for Dash. At the very least, they will contact the writers, producers...

This proposal is about brand recognition and positioning, not user acquisition. We want to move the needle from "Never heard of Dash" to "Dash? That's digital cash, right?" Our message is brilliantly simple "Dash: digital cash" and we can place it in a context, in our culture, far ahead of every...

If at the end of a year of the program we have unused funds we will have several options. The most likely is that we will use the funds to continue the program. Dash development will continue, and so will the need for the bounty program to help maintain the security and safety of Dash.

@GrandMasterDash -- you drive a hard bargain and I totally respect that, and I respect your view and your vote. Getting a $2M placement is our goal, we just can't promise it. If we did, we wouldn't be honest. This town is full of hucksters who will promise you the moon and the stars, and...

@TheSingleton makes a good point. There is no opportunity cost at this time. @GrandMasterDash -- if after reviewing HERO's track record of success for many clients over 20 years in the industry you are not convinced this is a good proposal, can I get an abstain? ;-) I also want to emphasize...

But if you read Julie's posts, you see lots of names being dropped on us. Of course we can't promise specific placements on specific shows; that's simply not how product placement works. Think of HERO as Dash's Hollywood talent agent. Every actor knows that their agent can't promise them a part...

These are good perfectly valid concerns and they are main reasons that I structured the proposal to pay out over 3 months (400 Dash/month). 400 is not so high relative to the whole 6651 Dash budget for the month, especially considering that well over 1000 Dash wasn't allocated last month. Nor...

The thing that Dash is going to have is the distributed API (DAPI) and the cool thing about that is that it will enable mediocre developers like myself to get crazy innovative with business models without getting hung up with coding ICOs and smart contracts. "making simple currency transactions"...

Depending on how you look at it, the high cost is also a feature, supporting the claim that Dash will have the best-funded bug bounty program in all crypto currency. The biggest variable in the cost is the fund for bounties. If we don't find vulnerabilities, we save money, but if we do find...

Thanks @GrandMasterDash -- you have an understandable concern. Perhaps it would help if I reviewed what is included in this proposal: The HERO retainer fee is what covers HERO's activities in seeking out and/or creating placement opportunities. A huge part of this will be educating the...

I considered other platforms and looked closest at HackerOne and BugCrowd, and settled on BugCrowd because they were so responsive to my needs. As you can imagine, we are breaking new ground here and we need to work with a leading company that can be flexible and creative in dealing with the...
