Proposal description
Hi guys, our first time renewing the DASH support for our meetings. It has been a great series of events thanks to DASH, it has really motivate its members to invite more people into the meetings and learn about DASH.
Although our group is really about all Cryptocurrencies, DASH has gained it's spot and growing supporting followed. Having DASH presence has given a lot of newbies a natural drawn to learn more and more about DASH. We have been holding this meeting for 2 years and have seen it grow to a significant amount. However we are still in the process to make a difference in the local businesses and environment.
Our program of DASH for Drink, where people get their consumption reimbursed at the end of the meeting to get them to install a DASH wallet and sometimes their first new DASH, has been very successful. A lot of non technical people got their first wallet and DASH address and were taught how to receive those DASH through QR code or through the web.
These next 3 months we will get more DASH info, as Amanda B Johnson will be on one of our meetings in April. Also we might have new initiatives from the group about how to promote the use of DASH and other Criptocurrencies here in Cancun, we were lucky enough to attract the right people to make this happened.
Please consider this factor to keep your support of this Local Crypto User group and allow us to enjoy sharing our knowledge of Crypto with the community with a nice Coffee, and Dinner in name of DASH.

Feel free to check our storify for a collection of social posts that we have done during this past 3 months between Bitcuners and the DASH Community.

Discussion: Should we fund this proposal?
Submit comment
Do you have an itemized break down of how the money has been spent?
Thanks
Since in the past people were so focused on proving this meetings were taking place, now you can see them on our facebook page, each album for each meeting.
Next month we/Dash Force will be introducing a new format for larger meetups that will focus on merchant adoption and a smaller meetup contest that will focus on just getting meetups going in general, as they have died off recently.
I think you're giving a slap in the face to the Dash community by stepping in here with your appropriation of the Bitcoin logo (ok, your 'creative' adaption of the commonly recognised copyright free Bitcoin coin logo) with your begging bowl asking for a fairly substantial amount of funds from Dash whilst you're basking in the golden reflection of the Bitcoin logo.
Very nice.
And, by the way, apart from your little crowd of friends, if you show that coin golden coin logo to 100 independent people, I think you'd find that all 100 of them would assume that it's a Bitcoin logo. Because they would not have heard of Bitcunners.
If you want money from the Dash community and you beleive you are doing good work, then is it too much to ask that you have even a modicum of Dash branding?
I think you're out of step with the other proposals here, and I hope that you can raise your game, or get defended.
I cannot imagine anyone asking the Bitcoin community to donoate money to a meeting called Dashcunners. I think it's really cheeky of you to do this, and somehow get away with it.
Please consider changing your votes Masternode owners!
We won't change our name just like The Crypto Show won't change their name to The DASH Show and only invite DASH people.
I think it will make it even counterproductive, since we will just be having an echo chamber where nothing else get discussed making it a 'cult culture'. And you can see how bad that got for Bitcoin Maximalists.
I don't see a value on having Dash maximalists, do you? What about Unsung? Do you want it to rename to Dashsung too? Or the UFC figther, you want him to change his name too?
Bitcuners is already a recognized brand and a group of many members coming together for 2 years before we even put our first proposal, not sure it would be doable anyway even to change that overnight.
I will ask you to please consider respecting other communities.
However it's not a question of me respecting other people's communities.
I'm not a Dash maximalist, I do hold btc as well.
However, the forum in which we are having this discussion is a Dash only forum and indeed is one where you are asking the dash Masternode community to fund your activity.
At the beginning of this thread (above) The YouTube video thumbnail picture of your meeting has a great big Bitcoin Branding logo on it!
I think you should respect the Dash community and not have a great big Bitcoin symbol on your 'calling card' - This is quite audacious and insensitive in my view.
This is Dash central.org. We are Dash here. We are not Bitcoin here.

(Is what I meant to write above. Damn predictive text!)
This seems extremely expensive to me. Not scalable. What am I missing here? Seems like how Google throws money at things. Please educate me.
Why are we funding these people?
And constantly resubmitting whenever the dash price changes isn't a solution.
I really hope they can improve the budget system somehow regarding this.
You got my vote.
Muy buen trabajo, la comunidad seguÃrá creciendo...
It is an excellent proposal and have motivated more people to join Dash and learning about crypts is a great way to introduce more people
Keep the good work!
Well the original purpose of the first proposal was cater the assistens the soft drinks by returning the amount they pay in DASH (https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/bitcuners-meetup-proposal.11863/) we no givent presentation because it was no the prime intention.
We want to introduce to the common people moms, workers, self employed, businessman (but no technical guys, they all ready here) in a simple way, open table, coffee and a friendly talk, then they back home with Dash in they pockets (which is the most important thing and the did) and then they can see for themselves how the "money" grows on their hands, when they come back then we can talk about more deep stuff and given to them a presentation.
Is it true that is not a formal meeting, but is never was intended to, besides we no meet "at the local pub", is a Starbucks they only serve soft drinks like macchiatos and stuff, but the idea of the beer is tempting, thanks for the idea and for the comment :-)
Thanks guys!
Finally got around to 'claim' the proposal.
