Proposal description
Dash Core Group September 26th Funding Proposals
DCG is submitting 2 funding proposals for the budget cycle that pays out September 26th:
1) DCG Compensation: 2,558 Dash per month (currently in month 1/3)
2) DCG Supplemental proposal: TBD on amount.
What does this specific proposal fund?
This proposal funds Dash Core Group's ongoing compensation costs - including all developers, administrative, and support staff. This is a multi-month proposal that will cover compensation for October through December 2023.
What is the proposal funding?
As of September 1st, 2023, DCG has 29 paid staff at full time/close to full time associated with the project and 4 part time contributors. In addition, we have 2 volunteers who have decided to work for no compensation and 1 person who has decided to work at minimal compensation. Since the last proposal we seen 2 individuals leave the project, both developers in the Platform team.
Our projected run-rate for September will be around $160,000. With this current compensation proposal, we are asking for total funding of $67,288 per month. If this proposal passes as well with a supplemental, we will be consuming roughly $80,000 from our reserve per month. Currently we should be able to operate without drastic structural changes for around 2 more months. We will be making another proposal within a few days that if passes should improve the outlook dramatically for continued funded development of the project.
What does DCG's current structure look like?
DCG has evolved to primarily be a tech focused organization that can be grouped into 2 main parts, technology and technology support.
Technology:
Core (no change):
Communication / Business Development / Marketing:

1) DCG didnt mention me at all in the above relevant github bug report. I remind you also that I am banned forever from the whole github site because DCG reported me when I was trying to expose their design errors.
2) I have revealed the solution for this bug, but they didnt understand/read it yet.

Instead of the above clear solution, DCG's inherent stupidity in designing the dash protocol makes things worst. Their "design solutions" are often a pile of stupid shit created in order to hide another pile of shit, and @xkcd already started complaining about it in github.
Apparently, DCG remains deaf simply because it is (s)elected by deaf MNOs. This bunch of stupid deaf, are unable to hear the storm that is approaching, a storm that will tear Dash apart.

Coupled with their years of deceipt and non-delivery any moral MNO should be obligated to defund them and remove the rot.
* DCG has 33 paid staff associated with the project
* projected DCG run-rate for September will be around $160,000
* DCG consuming roughly $80,000 from the reserve per month
* DCG able to operate without drastic structural changes for around 2 more months
* 2 Platform devs left since last proposal
* DCG will be making another proposal (decision proposal ? budget proposal) within a few days that if
passes should improve the outlook dramatically for continued funded development of the project
I also assume below line is incorrect at the bottom of the proposal text :
''Requested funding is as follows for the December through February budget cycles''
I have two simple questions :
When will Dash Core v20 hit Dash Testnet ? (according latest sprint review it should have launched on Testnet in approx 1 week, that week has passed)
When will Platform v0.25 proceed to the testing phase ?
We will get v20 of Core and v0.25 of Platform to Testnet with the start of the testing phase before Tuesday's review.
5 days ago that was 33 paid staff.
The Platform has been paid by ALL masternodes since 5 YEARS NOW, not only by those who hold more than 4000 Dash. So ALL the masternodes deserve shares.
Will you use mnowatch.org as an oracle, in order to give to the 59 proved individuals that hold just 1 masternode (https://mnowatch.org/Types/index.html?2=001) the right to host an EVO node (along with the economic benefits that derive from that) ???
My vote on this proposal is highly related to the answer on the above question.
However in the solution we voted on as a network, an equilibrium should be reached meaning that if Evonodes make more money more nodes will run Evonodes which would raise the amount that Masternodes get. This is a market based solution and I truly believe it will work well.
Who said about 4000 ? I am talking about giving the right to run EVO nodes (along with the economic benefits that derive from that) to 56 masternodes that have been proved by the mnowatch.org oracle to be unique individuals.

Please try to understand , and answer to the point.
This will be interesting to watch because he's basically saying there is no technical solution to a market based hack / exploit.
We have two oracles. mnowatch and dashninja. They are both opensource.
So we can have as many oracles as we want, and they can provide to us enough voting data that can be used to judge the individuality of every voter.
http://mnowatch.org/types
By giving privileges on proven persons we can diminuish the infiltration of agents and corporates into the platform, and thus make the platform reliable.
You are giving benefits to those who can PROVE THEIR PERSONHOOD.
If you dont like someone to prove his personhood by using oracles (mnowatch, dashninja), you can try Encointer!
In case you DONT want to give benefits to those who can prove their personhood, it means that you would like agents and corporates to infiltrate into the Dash platfrom, and control it.
Is this what you really want?
Because if you exclude personhood from the equation, the whole Platform network is controled by agents and corporates, and IT IS DOOMED!
From what I've seen, AI is nothing more than a clever filter that is able to prove how stupid humans are. Which, of course, was the whole point of Eliza.
Not saying AI hasn't got a place because obviously there are many applications where it is "better" than stupid humans.
When phones were phones, analog copper wires with telephone numbers hardwired at the exchange, people would easily hold 30+ phone numbers in their head. At this point in time, many people don't even know their own number, let alone the numbers of their family members.
Every time people want something, a noisy server on the other side of the planet is mothering people, being their memory and source of knowledge. Yes, people are allowing themselves to be more stupid.
https://mnowatch.org/encointerUBI
Those who appear as individualities in mnowatch, have been identified as unique individuals for more than 500 mnowatch reports!
I am not the one who voted NO, yet.
I am waiting for a decent answer , and I will cast my decisive vote at the end of the cycle.
