You're making my point! Take note @mastermined

Holding of the funds is the easy part. Any escrow agent can do that without responsibility for the terms of the agreement. I'm asking for Dash's hired business developers to share in the review of the deal and offer opinion that the price and terms of the deal are sensible from Dash's...

I too saw this, and agree they are capable. The plain fact is, we ought to have a fiduciary opinion from our hired team advisors, not just a technological one. Nothing tells us that the terms of this deal are sound, and IMO, MNO's cannot get to that themselves. Nothing against ThirtySix...they...

I'm sure I'm the outlier, but having reviewed deals, here are my initial comments. I have great regard for the possibilities here, so no disrespect intended to ThirtySix or its business proposal. The proposal indeed sounds very compelling as written. I also don't question the genuineness of...

Regarding my comment, the current proposal fee is only refunded for proposal approval (via the requested funding amount). If the proposal is rejected by 1 vote, no rebate. Some are protesting that this is too high a barrier and discussing alternatives like lowering the fee. Rather than...

I could support this if we make that rebate subject to some MN vote result metric, say rebate only IF the 'Yes' votes exceed the 'No' votes. If the mn's had to spend time dealing with and evaluating a proposal that didn't meet a baseline criteria, then insufficient value was achieved to justify...

Good choice, IMO. Just 'changing the number' doesn't really solve anything...it just covers over the intended issue for some period while introducing new risks as you mention. Better to either: 1 - Leave the fee alone and build some sort of sponsorship/crowdfunding mechanism to enable voluntary...

I like what you have been doing, and what you are aiming at here. Nice job keeping us all updated, too. I will support this.

I'd prefer this to just permissively spending it on weak proposals just so we can say we didn't 'let it burn.' We'd still need to know those funds are being stewarded well, however.

I'd love to see this solution developed. It is much more of a 'Free Market' solution than just lowering the fee since it allows any idea to get supported based upon its merit, even to the point of crowd-sponsoring the fee (if people are indeed interested)!

By this argument, we shouldn't have any fee at all, and therefore MN time and effort (and Dash scarcity) has zero value. Of course, there are other laws of Free Markets that should be considered like effective resource allocation. Too narrow a statement, IMO.

Aren't proposals supposed to *accomplish* something, not just act like fee-based opinion polls? Why propose to keep something that is currently in place? Should we also then propose to keep InstantSend? I'm missing your point, perhaps, but I do note that this risk of becoming just a fee-based...

I like your idea of possibly allowing sponsorship of the fee to help someone where the existing fee is truly the limiting factor and they are reasonably not able to afford it. I would personally pay for a fee in such a case, AFTER it's been vetted successfully in the free areas. Another...

This highlights our difference: I don't see unallocated budget as huge problem, and the zero proposals (not exactly accurate) is not because lots of great ideas from the forums and slacks can't seem to afford the fee. If we act like we want ideas bad enough, we'll get bad ideas. In the mean...

I'm not in favor of this. It seems like a very arbitrary network change that only sets up the need for more arbitrary network changes later as Dash price adjusts. I've still not heard an answer to the very valid point that we already have a variety of TOTALLY FREE channels for people to float...

Nice! You're doing great. Keep going!

This would be better than just lowering. The constant trade off is between being 'too high' and stifling otherwise good proposals, and being 'too low' and getting lots of spam. We also make it harder to directly process that Many without hiring 'administrator/gatekeepers.' That too presents its...

I like that you have some experience in the various media and will be working a testing strategy. That's important if you are to increase your effectiveness. A 3-month proposal showing deliverables seems good to me.

Perfect...I'll read it. Appreciate the help.

Very helpful. Especially this, "They will provide 1,946.33 DASH of 7,449.80 DASH total available budget." How about the Dash inflow each month? If I understood correctly, that is to be 10% of Dash created, but I'm unclear what the production algorithm is. This really is a nice governance...
