So all we had to do was run finalize budget one more time and it would have included it? Because we did have 11% support exactly 24 hours before the budget payout.

No, it was confirmed to fit and we have gone right up to that exact same value before without issue. I did not use Dashwhale's number (which actually rounds down anyway), but rather calculated it. I think the lesson is correct though, going right up to the line may introduce a bug in 12.0, so...

Just an update for everyone on this proposal. While the proposal had enough net votes at the time the budget finalized, there was room in the budget for it, and some masternode commands were including it (such as the "mnbudget projection" command)... nonetheless it was not included in the final...

The August payment cycle has seen quite a bit of late-cycle movement over the past week, but appears to have largely settled into a stable position for a day or two. Below, I have outlined August’s funding requests for the core team and community sponsored proposals as they stand right now. The...

While that is true, the issue - as you can imagine - is the most pronounced in the US. I think that if we can show that it is not a concern in the US (or isn't when certain measures are taken), then other jurisdictions would probably follow the guidance from the strictest location (US) with...

Someone with some legal background in the US would need to back my statement on this, but I think current law requires members to a foundation be either a natural person or a legal entity. A signature on the blockchain from an address holding 1,000 Dash doesn't fit that framework. So it's one of...

Yes, we have considered it. However, there are some big unanswered legal questions about that type of setup. Current laws support a membership-driven model in which one member = one vote for the board. Having a masternode-driven election mechanism doesn't yet exist in the legal world, and we'd...

@Solarminer What items is the Dash Foundation going to use the funds for? Past expenses, Future expenses? - As stated, for the moment the monies will be saved toward the listed future expenses. Past expenses have already been paid. How much were the legal costs for this dispute? All the...

On a personal note, I am really excited about this proposal because (I think) it would represent the first time a non-profit has been directly funded by a blockchain. :cool:

This is a cross-post from www.dashwhale.org/p/found-donate-210608 Now that the voting on budget proposals have largely settled into a stable position, we feel now is the appropriate time to leverage any remaining budget funds and put them to good use. The budget is currently pretty full... only...

@GreyGhost, the June 2016 budget isn't even for a website. It is to fund graphic design for the Evolution product. These are completely different things. The title of the proposal is (and this is a direct cut and paste): Evolution Development - Graphic Design You clearly position this expense as...

@GreyGhost: There is so much misinformation, double counting, incorrect allocations, and even applying today's exchange rates to historical expenses that the mischaracterizations can only be intentional. The amount of spin required to turn ~$1,900 into $24,000 requires an incredible lack of...

I have seen a number of posts like this one or questions about why we need a writer. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of understanding of what a technical writer is, so let me explain in greater detail. A technical writer is a specialized profession within the computer science /...

UPDATE: The core team is no longer seeking funding for this proposal. I have already communicated to the core team to vote against and it is no longer passing, so no need to take any action, but please don't vote for this proposal. The original intent was to use the funds that were unallocated...

Thank you everyone, for voting so quickly on this one... I have already gone ahead and requested the pickup, since it looks certain to pass.

This is a cross-post from www.dashwhale.org/p/cnftl-sm-swag-201608 This proposal seeks funding for addition conference expenses for the Conferences & Travel budget. There are several items included in this budget. First, there were several expenses for the d10e conference for which we are...

This is a cross-post from www.dashwhale.org/p/infra-applica-201608 For the July payment cycle, we submitted a proposal for Google Applications that was approved for $300. You can see the original proposal here for all of the details on the request (I will not rehash them here)...

I agree that we could probably hire a team of people to work on content creation and media placement, but this isn't the only thing a (good) PR firm does. A well-connected PR firm can also introduce us to their other clients in the digital currency space. They also field calls from reporters and...

This is a cross-post from www.dashwhale.org/p/pr-fall-camp-201608 This Public Relations proposal goes hand-in-hand with our business development strategy as we share with the media the different partnerships and integrations we execute. Public relations directly supports business development...
