    How are the individual developers paid out of the dev budget?

    I disagree. I currently work for a state university, and knowing everybody else's salary just leads to strife. "I do more work than soandso, but he is paid more. I'm going to complain/work less/sabotage/find a new job..." I also don't think that replicating government is what we want to be...

    Why do we still market DASH as "privacy-focused"?

    Agreed with the above. People who don't know better still say "the privacy-centric digital currency Dash..." When I'm writing anything, I always say "with privacy features." For instance "governance, instant transactions, and privacy features...)

    Pre-Proposal System is Useless

    I doubt it. The dev team has discussed this a number of times and I'm pretty sure it's on the list of things to tackle. It's difficult, however, to make a proposal low enough to be affordable but high enough to avoid DDoS attacks. The issue is this: nobody on the team wants to just pick another...

    Pre-Proposal System is Useless

    I agree that the poll numbers are kind of pointless. The real value of pre-proposals is that sometimes known "whales" will respond and give you an idea of what they are thinking. I think the thread itself is much more valuable than a poll. This particular proposal is a bit different, too, since...

    Should the Core Team start "saving" for massive market campaign?

    Tante, I would wholeheartedly support this. Last month, over $100,000 was simply not created. What a waste--imagine how much evo marketing could have been done with that money!!! Taking leftover funds each month and putting them in a "savings" account for this purpose would be amazing!

    Can the core marketing team please stand up

    I'm not sure...you'd have to ping @babygiraffe ...I know it takes awhile to get quotes/bids and put everything together

    Can the core marketing team please stand up

    As others have said, that is simply not true. This month's Core Team proposals, which comprise 80% of each months' budget, have not yet been submitted yet. Please be patient!

    DashCentral - voting lists

    I've been saying for quite some time now that eventually some sort of (voluntary!) representative voting system will emerge. Lists like @rango suggests would be interesting. I could also see self-appointed proposal reviewers emerging (kind of like analysts at investment firms). In a more extreme...

    Update on Major Exchange? Today Marks "Two Weeks"

    Update from the Dash Nation Slack (thanks @itscrazybro): ddink7 [8:25 AM] @itscrazybro Do you have any updates on the major exchange that you are able to share with us? Daniel posted exactly two weeks ago today (March 28) that the major exchange integration would happen within the next "two...

    Update on Major Exchange? Today Marks "Two Weeks"

    Could we possibly get an update on the major exchange integration? Daniel made this post https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/new-major-exchange-update.13971 on March 28, so today marks the end of the "two weeks." Technically he said "two weeks or so" but it'd be great to find out how this is...

    iOS Wallet Warning!

    I don't think it's unreasonable for Core Team to ask to see a Dash wallet's source code when it's a wallet that's been created by an unknown community member. Of course, said community member can tell them to pound sand, and said Core Team can make a public service announcement encouraging...

    Dash Business Model upgrade: Invest in start-ups

    When have technicalities ever mattered to the US Government? The SEC can sue Evan, Ryan, or anybody else they want to. Whether they'll win or not is a different story, but it's not like the government hasn't ever been known to overreach. A judge not familiar with the technology would most likely...

    Dash Business Model upgrade: Invest in start-ups

    Investing means receiving equity in exchange for money, which Dash isn't set up to do. First, the Dash network isn't a legal entity. The Dash Foundation is, but not the network itself. Secondly, when receiving equity for money, you get into a lot of issues with the SEC and other regulators. I...

    Bitcoin's "network effect" is NOT insurmountable

    I agree with Dandy. While development must take priority, 1500 DASH (about $100,000) went unused in last month's budget. That is an enormous amount of money that could have done great things to advance the project (through marketing, or in other ways).

    Reduction Of Proposal Fee To 0.1 Dash (Proposal)

    I don't think that anybody is advocating never changing the proposal fee.

    Reduction Of Proposal Fee To 0.1 Dash (Proposal)

    We had zero DDOS attacks on the masternode network too...until we had one a few weeks ago. The fee isn't to prevent spam (as in unwanted proposals). The fee is to prevent attacks (as in somebody flooding the network with 10,000 proposals.) A bad guy wanting to make a profit would short a bunch...

    These price fluctuations :(

    My "guess" of .059 was because that is an important Fibonacci level which indicates support. We did have significant support there, although obviously we ended up going under that eventually. Yet we're almost back (although now it will be resistance).

    Proposal: Core Team Salaries (April)

    Just double checked my Core Team payment history. I was a contractor for Core Team in September and October 2015 (for which I was paid in both months) and I officially joined Core Team as a "full" member in November 2015. I received no payment in November 2015. I was paid TWICE on December 8...

    Bitcoin's "network effect" is NOT insurmountable

    Just replied to a post on /r/BitcoinMarkets. Food for thought: When was the last time anybody you knew went to a store and was able to pull out their phone and pay with bitcoin? When was the last time you or anybody you know shopped at a *major* online retailer and paid in bitcoin? Bitcoin is...

    Dash Bloodbath (Lock MN collateral blockchain-wide, spend more budget funds on dev)

    I don't know about him or you, but many around here have a cost basis of zero, having sold enough to cover their initial investment. In that case, "losing it all" is meaningless. I don't say that to be mean; I say that to give you insights into the psychology around here. Most folks around here...
