The Network only looks at the vote totals when the budget was finalized. That's why almost every month, somebody from Core Team (usually @tungfa iirc) reminds everybody to go ahead and vote and not wait until the last minute. It has specifically been pointed out that votes cast (either for or...

If I could add something here, it would be that we need to a) prioritize communication, and b) delegate. a) When something relevant happens, post a note about it somewhere. For example, with the Legal Proposal, it would have taken less than five minutes to post "by the way guys, this is delayed...

Many voted for Legal over Blockchain:Money, because both couldn't be done with the funds we had available at that time. It was a very competitive budget month; ironically, in October we left 1100 DASH on the table (uncreated) which is about $10,000 USD that could have gone to develop the...

Do any of them implement all of these things together, in one coin? That's probably why I've never heard of them. As I've said before, you could invent the cure for cancer and without advertising, it would be worthless. I want to make an observation about Zcash, since it was mentioned. I...

I think the idea is that Coinfirm will help when it comes to possible integrations, but I don't think it was ever intended to be the "silver bullet" and do the job all by itself. A combination of factors is probably going to be required to move institutions; hopefully the legal opinion will help...

Could you elaborate? What is Dash's Treasury?

@babygiraffe didn't pick the title, the editor did. It's called "clickbait."

The common assumption is that Dash is not traded on Kraken (or other major exchanges such as Bitfinex) because of our low volume. We do have a historically low trading volume, so I could understand this logic. But that's not why Kraken refuses to list us. Let me demonstrate. Kraken trades...

Good point...I'll make that change if I submit it next month. Thanks!!

It looks like there isn't enough time for this (only three days left), so I will defer it until next month, assuming there are budget funds leftover and 12.1 hasn't come out then. I definitely welcome any additional comments!

My idea is to reduce the element of uncertainty. $50 is quite a lot for some people, and there may be some who *think* they have a good idea but don't want to (or can't afford to) take a $50 risk in hoping that everybody else agrees with them. Granted that this forum is a great way for ironing...

Hello all! Most of you know me, but for those who don't, I'm David Dinkins. I do writing/editing work as part of the Core Team, and I've been a part of DASH since May 2014. I'm well known in the community, and anybody on Core Team can vouch for me. Now that the "who" part is done, let's get to...

Big yes! I would caution against changing the logo too much though. Look at Verizon and how horrible their logo redesign ended up. Let's not go there!

I'll be glad to match you!

Yes, I understand that a significant part of Core Team funding is Dash-denominated, which is why I used the descriptor "xUSD + yDASH per month" above. The DASH denominated part of the budget will of course be stable regardless. From what I can determine based on past budget proposals, the...

While I'm excited at the prospect of integrating with Wall of Coins, I'm concerned about a couple of issues (primarily financial). Look at September's budget report (I've removed the ATM Program and Legal Proposal, since they have already been funded). What remains is the core, must-have...

I agree that this is important and valuable, but I also think you should run it with a smaller budget and a more limited number of people for a few months and show its value. I also think that in light of prior events, you should post the names of everybody you will be using (in other words, get...

"Should" being the operative world. I suppose it depends on how the agreement was structured. If I was a vendor, I would want a signed contract before commencing work. That means some legal entity (human, corporation, or foundation) has to actually sign the document. That entity is then...

Thank you (and @tungfa) for the correction. I'm going to open myself up to the possibility of further error here, but I also seem to recall that the difficulties are due to Lamassu's unexpected changes in their codebase to support ETH, and that our vendor partner, GitGuild, is actually not...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Lamassu was already paid for by a team member, and the monthly budget proposal simply reimburses that person. Consequently, downvoting the proposal only hurts the person who fronted the cash.
