    Proposal: Conferences & Travel - ICE Totally Gaming

    Right now, our travel policy excludes meals and entertainment. I agree that as the budget has expanded, we should revisit that decision. When it was one or two people going 1-2 conferences a year, the travel itself was viewed as a small benefit. As we shift to attending more conferences -...

    Dash's More Incredible 2016

    1) Ethereum split in two, which pushed us down one slot 2) Monero got a lot of attention from being added to two darknet marketplaces, and surpassed us. They since lost one market in an exit scam which caused a sell-off, but it retains a strong market cap. In terms of market share, we actually...

    Proposal: Business Development (January)

    Proposal: Business Development (January)
