Welcome!

Dash "Dashboard" -  Centralizing and measuring all of the data (pricing, transaction, user adoption) can only help you the MNO's understand the eco-system that you are managing!   More information is better!

This is more than just pricing charts and streaming data.  Being able to track, understand and measure DASH adoption and awareness is definitely in the scope of this project.   I should clarify that these are critical metrics to understand success.   This project is not just about price (that is just a single data set).    It is collecting that data AND transaction data (a single data set) and sentiment data (a single data set) and relating together to understand meaningful trends...    This is the centralization, collection and analysis of all that data to bring forth trends and meaningful information  with insights.  Big Data, Machine Learning, Sentiment Analysis, Data Visualization are technologies/trends shaping the landscape today and the future.  Having a centralized repository will allow the DASH community to benefit and unleash these technologies for the benefit of the MNO's and community.   We need to be thinking about the community needs 6-12 months down the road.   As community custodians (or managers in any business entity), measuring and understanding what is going on is critical.  In some ways this is a no-brainer!   There is some great work on existing proposals being done with transaction explorers and visualizers, mining difficulty, pricing, etc...   This project is not intended to displace any of that work.

The first issue we all face the fragmentation of the data that exists in crypto ecosystem.  Data is silo'd EVERYWHERE.  There are sites like “CryptoCompare”, “CoinMarketCap”, “Live-Coin”, and countless others.   We each have our favorite exchanges that we log into every day.  All of them have some interesting charts, data and analytic tools.  But, if you are like me - you have 5 browser tabs open to access each site and navagating click bait, mazes of charts for obscure coins and advertisements.  All while wondering if I have to hit the refresh button to get to live data.   It’s a VERY frustrating experience and rarely gives me EVERYTHING that I am looking.   These websites have their own business models driven by ad clicks, sponsorships and subscriptions.  We are subject to their business models and if their teams want - the information may not be there tomorrow.
A second issue is some of the more advanced machine learning analytics come at a cost in the form of monthly or annual subscriptions.  Big data, machine learning and viewing real-time sentiment stats generally come at a cost.  And, this dynamic field is what is shaping the future!  Why should our community have to pay for this, if it can be built for them?

So, this is a proposal is simple – it’s a DASH Dashboard.  Centralizing the information and analytics in our DeCentralized world.  A single web-site to host DASH specific charts, analytics, graphs, etc... Let’s take the best out of each of these sites and put it on a single site for the community so we can unleash the modern day technologies of machine learning, A.I., etc...  No subscriptions, No Ads.  Just DASH specific analysis.  This is something no other crypto has and would be a huge benefit to the community and further differentiate us from the rest of the Crypto World.  Driving value back to the community is EXACTLY what I believe the Dash Treasury is set up to do.
Benefit to the Community:

All Users:Access to analytics that is often only available by subscription. Providing "Analytic of the Week" (i.e. Tip of the week) and "Suggestion Box" will allow the all important two way engagement with the community.  Collecting and storing DASH related data will allow the machine learning and A.I to start to evolve on this data set.   As important is having this in a single site.
 
Proposed Phases/Funding:Proposal: 60 DASH/3 months  
Timeline:  3 Months

 Month 1:   Research, Discovery and Data Modeling.  Identify data sources. Model the data from the top exchanges and Public API's.   Build a Data-Repository/Database(N-Tier) to store data.
, Architecting Repository Infrastructure (Cloud-based).  Once initial data models are complete, will build a cloud based database/infrastructure using modern day cloud technology/platform.  Provision, configuring and enable machine learning on social media feeds to generate real-time DASH sentiment.   Configure and build data feeds to ingest into models on a near real time basis.   Will build redundancy into different global data centers for disaster recovery as well as site performance considerations.
- 1 Cloud architect:  12 DASH.
- 2 Data Engineers: 25 DASH.
- 1 QC Analyst: 10 DASH.
- 1 Project Management: 8 DASH.
- Cloud Services (Database, Computing) - 2 DASH.

Month 2: Complete Data Models, Code API, Design Website.  Begin integration testing between the data feeds and building the business tier that serves up the aggregate data. 
- 1 Cloud architect:  12 DASH.
- Website Design:  5 DASH.
- 1 Data Engineer: 12 DASH.
- 2 Software Developers: 20 DASH.
- 1 QC Analyst: 10 DASH.
- 1 Project Management: 8 DASH.
- Cloud Services (Database, Computing) - 2 DASH.

Month 3:  Bring it all together.  Code Front end website to display the analytics, dynamic charts, filterable tables, custom searches, etc…   Current and future community input will be requested to incorporate additional analytics that add value to the community.esting.Testing, Testing, Testing to ensure models don't break under load, changes to data feeds.  Work with each engineer team to ensure efficiency across team.
- 1 Data Engineer: 10 DASH.
- 1 Software Developer: 12 DASH.
- 1 QC Analyst: 10 DASH.
- 1 Project Management: 8 DASH.
- Cloud Services (Database, Computing) - 2 DASH.

Month 4-6:
- Cloud Services:  6 DASH.

Proposal Reimbursement:  5 DASH.

Future Phases: 

• Add multiple language support (i.e. Korean, Spanish, German, etc…).
• User Registration so alerting can be enabled (i.e. "Send me alert if Sentiment Analysis drops below X%").
• “Dash bots”/Machine Learning and A.I. to provide advanced analytics.
• Everything is growing so quickly that there will me more data sources that will need to be incorporated.

Proposal Reimbursement: 5

Overages/Excess/Unspent DASH resources can roll forward into future development.

Total DASH: 180  (over 3 month development timeline)

Why me?  As a good faith first step, over the last few months spent time and money developing a “DEMO” version/Proof of Concept of the site that you can browse now -- to give this proposal more tangibility.  Above are 5-6 steps that will need to be completed to produce a professional and enterprise ready application.   With the green light, we are ready to take it from Proof of Concept to Reality.

It was important to me that when the proposal goes live that small percentages of each of these steps were completed to demonstrate the skill, dynamism and deliverability of what will be developed.  I encourage you to take a look.

Ultimately, I believe that this is a great use of the Treasury and drives value back to the DASH MNO's & community!
