    Proposal: Dash Conference 2017 (London)

    Not yet determined. We would like to see inexpensive tickets, even if it means we lose money on the conference... this is a community building exercise, not a profit oriented one. We will kick off the first planning session next week with Keynote to begin the planning process. Ticket prices...

    Proposal: Dash Conference 2017 (London)

    We are considering offering a discount to MN owners, but their may be technical barriers to getting that integrated into the ticket system. We need to evaluate whether that is possible.

    Pre-Proposal: Dash Buys A Seat At TenX

    There would be no legal issue with the trust owning a legal entity to operate a Dash credit card brokerage business. The SEC ruling simply does not apply to Dash, because Dash is not a security. In fact, all Dash in existence was given away as compensation from the network to various entities...

    Proposal: Conferences - BTC & Blockchain International Summit

    Both Alexy and Raico (our China country managers) are Chinese, so yes we have two members attending that are fluent (and have most of our existing Chinese relationships).

    [pre-proposal] Exchange Listing Incentive Program

    Yes, just seeing this now. As I reviewed your list of exchanges and my knowledge of the issues they face, funding is almost never the major issue that requires our assistance, and for regulatory reasons, they often cannot accept payment anyway. This proposal is well-intentioned, but in my...

    An Open Letter From Evan and Ryan Regarding Dash Marketing

    I think that there are some functions that make more sense to be standalone and some that make more sense as part of the Dash Core Team. For example, journalism-type organizations should clearly be separate from the Core Team and to be effective must have complete independence to criticize our...

    An Open Letter From Evan and Ryan Regarding Dash Marketing

    Funding isn't the only consideration... searches, interviewing and onboarding takes time as well. And we have several searches underway already or on a waiting list. We need to build out the PM, business development, and QA/testing area as well, so we're adding people as quickly as we can. I...

    An Open Letter From Evan and Ryan Regarding Dash Marketing

    I do not feel that we should be conducting a search for a CMO right now, no. Hiring one will take some time, but more like 6-8 weeks, not the year you're fearing. That said, we cannot wait until May of 2018 to hire someone. Building and implementing a marketing strategy takes many months. If we...

    An Open Letter From Evan and Ryan Regarding Dash Marketing

    Fair criticisms... we could use more support on the communication side and there is no excuse why the core team call is not posted. If it was lost due to the WebEx crash we encountered during the call, we should at least communicate that. I do not know the status, but I will find out. I used to...

    An Open Letter From Evan and Ryan Regarding Dash Marketing

    Primarily three reasons: 1) As stated above, we feel that the initial guidance provided by a professional marketing firm would contribute valuable input into the specific expertise we would need to target for the market executive position. For example, if the marketing approach will likely...

    An Open Letter From Evan and Ryan Regarding Dash Marketing

    Background: This year, we witnessed a dramatic change in the resources available to the Dash project, the scale of which is unprecedented in our short history. Leveraged wisely, this is obviously a good thing. Our first priority for these incremental funds is obviously to fund ongoing...
