    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    If your read my monthly official announcement on the budget, I do repeat every month to be sure to vote by the day before to ensure votes are counted. Voting just hours before the budget pays will ensure your vote will not be counted almost all of the time. These messages take time to propagate...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    Name one company with a judiciary system. Dash is not a government.

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    The technology does allow for more involvement than an annual board meeting election like with stocks, so we should take advantage of more oversight capabilities of the system. However, that doesn't mean it's an effective use of thousands of MN owner's time to weigh in on whether I am permitted...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    And a wise man once said, "The forum does not repesent (sp) the community". I couldn't resist... just chiding you a bit. :)

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    If you feel strongly that your position would be supported by the community, submit a decision proposal to see if that's what they want.

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    You clearly have your opinion, though I expect it is not shared by the majority of the community. I don't think the size of the money involved ever justifies micromanagement. The very real costs of micromanagement exceed the risks of bad decision-making from skilled individuals in most...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    At a certain point, if you don't trust the team to execute you should just vote a different team to do the job... one willing to subject themselves to that. To expect that we seek approval for every decision would cost a tremendous amount of nimbleness and productivity that in my opinion would...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    It is by category. Conferences and Travel is always spent on conferences and travel. Business development is always spent on business development. Development funds are always spend on development expenses. Legal funds on legal. Etc. There is admittedly a bit of judgment involved in...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    I answered in an edit before seeing this polite reminder. Read any proposal I've submitted. Near the bottom of every single one it clearly states how unused money will be spent.

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    The reason the payout address has been use is because that address is the Business Development fund address. It was first created back in June for the first Business Development payout in July and has been in continuous use ever since. When balances drop, or new expenses are anticipated, we...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    If I am hit by a bus, or my house burns down, there is a procedure to recover the funds. With Evan being local and instructions in the event of my death, all funds would easily be recovered. We are also planning payouts to multisig addresses in the near future (right now the code doesn't allow...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    @TroyDASH & @Stealth923 We discussed the lack of communication this Thursday on the core team call, and Daniel and all other project owners committed to getting full updates out to the community this week. Daniel is still our business development manager, but to answer TroyDash, he does not...

    January 2017 Budget Report

    Happy New Year Dash community! The core team has completed its requests for the December budget cycle. The core team proposals constitute 80.8% of the maximum budget this month, though a significant portion is simply facilitating an "escrow service" of sorts for the Wall of Coins proposal...

    Proposal: Public Relations (December)

    UPDATE: After a three week break in service, we initiated the next contract with Wachsman PR effective December 28th. Payment was distributed on the 29th at the day's average rate. Wachsman accepts Dash as payment.

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    I definitely agree with your two main points. The only part I would question is whether my role should entail updating the community on the status of projects (at least the ones I don't "own" personally). First, it divides responsibility between two people (which could cause overlaps and gaps in...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    Thank you for the kind words. I do think there is something to be said for specialization within the core team... let the coding teams focus on coding, Daniel focus on Business Development, moocow focus on infrastructure, etc. I think expecting everyone to submit their own proposals would take...

    Dash Core Team Accountability and Lack of Communication

    Legal work - payment address is XnNdk5s2JNPEVYB4brKmfFNuotoujWEuQd - balance is 1,733.46 Dash (you can view it on the blockchain) We had a balance of over $13,000 with the law firm as of the end of November, so in addition to the 1,733.46 Dash, we have a balance from the first retainer...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    I cannot provide an update on all of these projects, because I am not the owner of any of them. I do own Wall of Coins, the Office Space project, the Miami conference, and of course financial activities from planning to payments. But I will do my best to provide you with what I know about the...

    Proposal: Conference Materials

    This is a cross-post from www.dashcentral.org/p/cnf-materials-201701 Last month, we submitted a proposal to fund Dash's participation at The North American Bitcoin Conference in Miami next month. We funded a basic level of participation with an unused portion of the December budget. However...

    This is a cross-post from www.dashcentral.org/p/bsdev-general-201701 After a temporary break in business development funding in December, this proposal seeks continued funding for our ongoing business development activities, adjusted to current exchange rates. The Business Development budget...
