    Pre-Proposal: Alternative Budget System. How much do you pay for someone to do a job?

    Sure, there are some cases where it might be useful to have a better way for the network to negotiate with proposal owners. However if I would be putting this on a priority list on a scale of 1 to 10, it would be at about 0. The current system is sufficient and there are many more important...

    Pre-Proposal: Alternative Budget System. How much do you pay for someone to do a job?

    Many projects are unique to the proposal owner -- it's not like a software project where the masternodes get to spec everything out and just anyone can do it. If someone proposes to sponsor the Crypto Show, or sponsor Dash Aerosports, or do an airdrop on Huobi, how many other people are going to...

    Pre-Proposal: Alternative Budget System. How much do you pay for someone to do a job?

    Why pay out the money at all though if the contractor is not going to do it? In the current system, the proposer can always try a lower amount if they are willing to do that after their original proposal is voted down.

    Pre-Proposal: Alternative Budget System. How much do you pay for someone to do a job?

    It can't work this way because it allows for the possibility for Masternodes to vote to pay out less than the contractor is willing to accept, in which case the contractor has no obligation to actually do the work. If a proposal owner needs their payment to be denominated in fiat, just use an...

    Pre-Proposal: Sole Sponsorship of Reality Check with Ben Swann & Ambassador

    Personally, I generally have a favorable view of Ben Swann, but I agree that this is a possible issue. Some of the things Swann has reported on have been extremely controversial -- I don't think we should gloss over or under-represent this. A sponsorship deal may be seen as an endorsement of...

    Dash Doesn't Need to Reinvent the Wheel with Advertising - Online Search Beats it All

    @dashdisciple What do you think about https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/google-adwords.21389/ Wouldn't there be an overlap of efforts here?

    A proposal now costs over $3,000

    missing the option for "5 dash" :D

    Save the dash treasury , please

    Yes, but in order to get big marketing agencies on board, this probably happens more through networking and making phone calls, not so much videos. We already have formed a business relationship with Ogilvy & Mather -- one of the largest marketing agencies in the world. I am sure they did not...

    Save the dash treasury , please

    You can't expect the amount of good proposals to catch up instantly to fill the entire budget when the price triples over 2 months. If you want to spend $10mil on stuff there need to be people who are actually able and willing to do it. Are you saying there are 100 people who would each be...

    Save the dash treasury , please

    The treasury is dying, seriously? Almost every month we are setting a new record for the amount of money being spent. There are 30 proposals up for voting right now, 16 of them are brand new for this month and the budget cycle isn't even completed yet. The number of proposals that have been...

    Sub-dao, voter delegation, or lowering the proposal fee. Best scaling options?

    I'm not really a fan of having a generic sub-DAO act as a catch-all for any small proposals. The people best equipped to evaluate small or local proposals are the people closest to that location or area of expertise. I would be fine with funding regional teams or teams that have a clearly laid...

    "Create a new proposal" not functioning properly?

    What OS/browser are you using?

    Sub-dao, voter delegation, or lowering the proposal fee. Best scaling options?

    I don't think there can be an automatic way to assign scores...otherwise people can put whatever into the forms without any quality control. And as for manual scoring, there was already an attempt at that with the Proposal Evaluation Committee (PEC) which didn't really succeed.

    The cost of a transaction should be lowered again.

    Yeah it doesn't matter if the "base fee" is $0.01 if the wallets aren't smart enough to know that they can send less than $0.40. Hopefully the algorithm can be adjusted to be more accurate

    Sub-dao, voter delegation, or lowering the proposal fee. Best scaling options?

    I would be open to the idea of a sub-dao but I think the scaling is already occurring somewhat naturally. It is getting much more common now for proposers to represent companies or teams of more than one person. Having hundreds/thousands of sub-$10,000 projects is not going to be the way to go...

    If you're going to create a topic to ask where to create a topic, you might as well just post it here. Or come to the discord channel and use the #bitcart channel to try to get support.

    An Open Letter From Evan and Ryan Regarding Dash Marketing

    I don't consider the hosting costs to be an "additional investment". The investment was the purchasing of the collateral. With your reasoning, anyone that has a masternode share with one of the sharing services has infinite ROI because they are paid interest denominated in dash without paying...

    An Open Letter From Evan and Ryan Regarding Dash Marketing

    Masternodes gained $10,000 for each $100 contribution -- yes, just like everyone else. Plus an additional $800. Not plus an additional $7500.

    An Open Letter From Evan and Ryan Regarding Dash Marketing

    No, but a lot of non-masternodes made $10,000 on each of their $100 contributions, and the ones who bought Masternodes made $10,800 on each of their $100 contributions.
