I did email every candidate a link to their respective election proposal on DashCentral and to this thread right after I posted it. I wrote last year what I think the DIF should be doing, i.e. what I stand for as a candidate. I've followed that approach during my tenure so far (to the extent I...

https://www.dashinvests.org/ It desperately needs updating, I know. At least I'm trying to keep the blog section somewhat current. Expect an EOY 2022 report in the next few days that will show our current portfolio.

I responded to you here: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/2022-dif-election-method-election-update-read.53257/post-233752 Please keep this thread for Q&A with the election candidates.

You are raising valid concerns. I wish you had raised them earlier though. Please scroll up, we did ask for community feedback on how to conduct this election including the question on how to deal with the fees right here. We also posted the poll on Discord asking for feedback, so everyone...

Yes, I'm preparing an EOY 2022 report. Will take a few days though.

The Dash Investment Foundation election proposals are finally live: https://www.dashcentral.org/p/DIF_Supervisor_Election_2023_Jared https://www.dashcentral.org/p/DIF_Supervisor_Election_2023_Justin https://www.dashcentral.org/p/DIF_Supervisor_Election_2023_Rodrigo...

The election proposals are live. Please vote: https://www.dashcentral.org/p/DIF_Supervisor_Election_2023_Jared https://www.dashcentral.org/p/DIF_Supervisor_Election_2023_Justin https://www.dashcentral.org/p/DIF_Supervisor_Election_2023_Rodrigo...

I'll tell you the same that I've been telling my three-year-old son ever since he turned two: "Yelling, screaming and foot-stomping won't get you anything, buddy."

The application form is live! https://forms.gle/ut8MetXHJfDhPTPo9 I'll post a blog post with some more background in the next few days. In the mean time, anyone interested in running start filling in! I also invite any candidates to post in this thread and introduce themselves.

Some update re the upcoming election: After some deliberation and with feedback here inconclusive, we decided: We are going to use the DAO treasury system. Proposal fees will be borne by the DIF. We will only count Yes votes. Abstain and No votes will be ignored. Although we're aware that...

We considered that, but you know how things have been with releases. They're always just around the corner - and stay there. We owe the community a new election and we didn't think we should risk waiting for v18 release, lest someone claims we're clinging to our positions. But I like the idea...

What do you mean by DiFi space? In case you mean Defi, DIF stands for "Dash Investment Foundation" and has nothing to do with Defi. I'll edit the post to make that clearer for new folks.

The annual election for the "Dash Investment Foundation" (DIF) supervisors is due this month. These elections used to be held by Dash Watch, but since they're no longer operational, we've been discussing internally what the best method would be to hold it. The two options are a) the same way...

Uhmm... that thread was over two years old.

I'd love to see this happen. But this post was proably in the wrong sub-forum. It's not economics- or exchanges-related. Try in Budget Proposal Discussions or just General Discussion.

Since those instructions were posted by someone else, can you please confirm that keybase.io/akhavr/pgp_keys.asc is really your key? If it is, please make it more accessible on the download site.

Thanks for your and the other responses! I know how PGP and verifying signatures works. That's not my problem. My problem is that the necessary keys are not posted on the download site and I have / had no idea where to find them. Now digging around a bit under the link you provided, I see...

Where can I find your public key?

Several wallets on the official directory on https://www.dash.org/downloads/ offer separate signature files (Installer Signature). Trying to verify these signatures fails because I have no idea who is supposed to be the correct signer and I don't have their public key: Where can I find those keys?

As for "making bad decisions", assuming this refers to your idea, there was nothing for MNOs to decide on. Put a proposaal out and promote it! But I can already tell you, calling people lazy and stupid won't win you much support.

How can the network be sure that you'd actually be able to deliver such a significant project? And why should we trust you that you will, even if you're able?

I realize this is probably out of date, still wanted to reply because I find the idea interesting, and also to give others reading this some guidance in preparing good proposals. I do think that it's basically a great idea and I'd play the game with my family. But why so little interest here...

I assume that you'd actually consume the things you buy with DashDirect. I'm not sure how you'd resell your half-eaten Chipotle burrito for full price to make your B) work.

I agree more graphics would be nice. But I need to disappoint you: The DIF does not have a marketing team. Maybe one day, if we do a good job and keep growing, we can afford to have one, but that's still a long way off. For now, the DIF is run by six unpaid volunteers with day jobs and...

A user, who spends $200/month with an average savings of 5%, spends $190 out of pocket and saves $10. He does this for a year and he'll have bought $2400 worth of stuff, while paying only $2280 out of pocket and saving $120. $120 out of $2400 is still 5%, not 60%.

The translation works, but it's a mix of simplified and traditional. So either 达世币投资基金会 (mainland China) or 達世幣投資基金會 (Taiwan, Hong Kong)

I just posted a response on Discord to a request for feedback. Fits here too: Like many old-timers, I often insist price is not the most important, but since DCG is the largest known regular seller of Dash, they put pressure on the price and should at the very least provide enough value to the...

I understand you're really upset. I wasn't really following the Kuva drama and the Dash News defunding, so I'll reserve judgement, although it does look like it was a loss for the community. But in either case, let's tone down the name calling a bit. @xkcd, stand above it, you're better than that!

What is the BBC licensing model and why has it failed? Not really familiar with it. > "An almost guaranteed income from the treasury to fund ventures for profitable businesses elsewhere." First let's be careful with the wording. I haven't looked closely at DIF accounting, but normally, the...

As if the above post wasn't long enough yet, let me add a few more thoughts. There are voices that call for immediate action from the DIF to support the Dash price, some even going so far as asking the DIF to sell assets and buy Dash. Again, let me refer to my Reddit history on that, you see my...

A question came up on Telegram and I'll put the answer here for better visibility: "Thanks! I read yours. It tells about your background and relevant credentials but not what direction you would want the DIF to take; what kind of investments you would push for and the like." Good question. The...

Hi all, the page for the election is up https://dashwatch.org/elections and you'll find my name on there at the bottom. I sure hope that's not indicative of the result I'm gonna get once the election is over! ;-) Profiles should be posted there soon. In the meantime, if anyone has any questions...

I'd support it.

Interesting idea. Not sure adding another governance body would really make a difference, but worth exploring. One question: why would you limit it to MNOs? There may be very enthusiastic, valuable and insightful community members who weren't lucky enough to scoop up a masternode in the early...

Similar to what others already said: 1) Apparently someone bought 160k views for this "What is the Dash FastPass Network?" video. Was this DCG? What were the costs, target KPIs, and how did it perform? What other marketing activities were executed to support FastPass rollout? 2) What is DCG's...

I'm trying to book accommodation for the upcoming Dash Convention on Travala.com. Who wants to send me their invitation link and collect $20?

A startup I'm involved in is looking for a freelancer to help them create a corporate identity and then various material based on that design language, e.g. web site, sales deck, flyers. What they'd like you to have: a good understanding of typography and colors able to tell/illustrate a story...

https://satoshistreasure.xyz/ Such an intriguing game! And it's quickly gaining a large following, clans springing up around it etc. Check out e.g. its subreddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/satoshis_treasure/ Interview with one of the organizers...

How does this relate to Dash?
