Proposal description

Dash Core Group October 24th Funding Proposals

DCG is submitting 2 funding proposals for the budget cycle that pays out October 24th:
1) DCG Operations: 5,147 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 operating costs - this includes compensation, legal and infrastructure costs.  This is a single month proposal that will cover operating costs for November 2024 to January 2025.

What is the proposal funding?

As of October 1st, 2024, DCG has 21 paid staff at full time/close to full time associated with the project and 3 part time contributors. In addition, we have 2 volunteers who have decided to work for no compensation and 2 people who have decided to work at minimal compensation. The amount of developers we currently have is given below.

We estimate that our projected run-rate for September for compensation will be around $160,000 and around $5,000 for infrastructure. With this current proposal, we are asking for total funding of $121,469 per month. This is less than our run rate, and even with the supplemental we are underwater a bit. This can continue for a month or two before having to request more funding or reduce the team members of DCG.

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.

Just take some time to look at a two year dash price chart and tell us why most of the months have a dump pattern that comes like clockwork?

Let me guess:
a) it's a bear market?
b) price is not important?
c) technical development is more important than price?

How about hiring 10x developers if dash price went up 10x?

Dash governance is shit, has poor incentives.
