I’m happy to announce that the new dash.org is live!!
We hope everyone can enjoy the new site.
The main things we aim to achieve with this update are:
1- Define a new information structure that is consistent with what we know of our audience already. On the old site, everything was mixed and...
In the last budget cycle, the network approved our the proposal to renew our contract with Wachsman PR for three more months. However, there was an intense discussion around it, and we acknowledge that we can improve the process around PR firm selection.
To do that, we are going to start a firm...
As part of the process to update to v0.13.0, there is a final manual spork activation that will reset the votes in the governance system (spork 15, activation of deterministic masternode lists). This means that all proposals that are live at that time will see their votes go to zero (yes, no and...
Status
The design work was completed long ago and we are pleased with the results, but we have had problems with the development of the site. Both parts were being done by two parts of the same agency.
We expected to receive the website from them in December and perform the migration process...
The purpose of this (very long) post is to update the community on the two proposals done earlier this year to start advertising Dash and the plans for the unused budget. I’ll expand on the execution of the first campaign in the future with more data, but I wanted to publish about the results...

This post is about this proposal that was approved to do a Facebook ad campaign in UK, Spain and Venezuela:
https://www.dashcentral.org/p/mrktng-feb-2018
The campaign was ready to be launched when Facebook decided to ban crypto ads. We had some parts already approved by FB and loaded in the...
The marketing project with Ogilvy is quite advanced already.
Part 1 - Branding
We have agreed to a branding territory that will reflect what Dash is and what it wants to be. I can't provide more details without breaking the surprise, but we're confident that everyone will like it.
This part...
Yesterday both Bitcart and Dash Core Group have had a long due meeting. Attendants were Graham de Barra and Darren Dineen for Bitcart, and Ryan Taylor and Fernando Gutierrez for Dash Core Group.
Dash Core Group has been and remains available to meet to understand Bitcart's needs and the...
Today I've done a small test to compare the top up prices of two of the available Dash prepaid cards. I would have included more, but I only own a Shake, which accepts Dash directly, and a Bitwala, which accepts it via Shapeshift.
Usually cards are not transparent about their fees, so I topped...
A few weeks ago we have been contacted by the Virtual Currency Team at the NCIJTF, a task force of federal agencies led by the FBI. They said they routinely contact industry experts and actors to keep their knowledge up to date, wanted to know more about Dash and arrange a meeting. We have...
El 28 de julio a las 19h haré una presentación sobre Dash en Avalbit (Asociación Valenciana del Bitcoin y otras tecnologias). Aún no tengo el anuncio y estoy pendiente de cerrar el tema concreto (depende del perfil de público), pero lo voy anunciando por si alguien se apunta. Actualizaré aquí a...
When we hired AVT and started the project in February, it had a pretty wide scope and the market situation was wildly different to what it is today. After the project was initiated, our price climbed rapidly. As it did so, certain aspects of the project were discontinued as they were no longer...
I have been invited to talk about Dash governance at the Barcelona Bitcoin Community Meetup on November 25.
The event link is not up yet because there are still a couple things to confirm, but the session will be called Introductory workshop: Backed Blockchain Governance Systems (DAOs et al.)...
We have recently merged email lists we had frangmented in a couple places. This will allow us to communicate more effectively.
We have defined three options you can subscrite to:
-Technical Updates and Alerts. Sent whenever it is important to communicate something.
-Dash Newsletter. Sent...
@oaxca and me are please to announce the first episode of the Dash Podcast (yes, we hired several brand consultants for the name).
In our first episode we will have Daniel Diaz and Ira Miller talking about fiat gateways and other Dash projects they are involved with.
The show will be streamed...
Since Buster decided to move on to other things the old episodes of the Dash Roundtable were not available. I had copies (except of episode #1 Rokos & Woocommerce budget proposal discussions, if someone has a copy, please say something!) and he has confirmed me that he is fine with me...
This is a long overdue project that I have been meaning to start many times but it was never the perfect time.
We have a couple hundred emails from the subscription form in the website (at the bottom, I know!). Evan also used to maintain a list of emails to which he updated on the tech changes...
