Proposal description
This is a cross-post from Dash Forum
This proposal is an addendum to the previously funded d10e Conference Sponsorship proposal, which passed in the June budget: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-d10e-conference-sponsorship.9035/
In the June budget, the network approved the sponsorship of the d10e conference in San Francisco on July 19th-20th. Now that the conference proposal is passed, this proposal is to reimburse the travel and lodging costs for Evan and Daniel - who will both be presenting at d10e.
In order to extract the most value out of the trip, both Evan and Daniel will arrive the day before the event and depart the day after the event. This will allow them to meet with several Silicon Valley cryptocurrency-focused companies about potential business development
opportunities in addition to simply attending the conference. Work is in progress confirming meetings.
Requested funding is as follows for the July 6th budget cycle:
Exchange rate risk is carried by Evan and Daniel, not by the network.

Requested funding is as follows for the July 6th budget cycle:
- 45.72 Dash for Evan's flight from Phoenix ($353.00 USD @ $7.721 per June 13th average rate at https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/price-dash.html)
- 128.87 Dash for Evan's hotel for three nights ($995.00 USD)
- 6.48 Dash to check the Dash banner ($25.00 USD each way)
- 141.95 Dash for Daniel's flight from Panama ($1,096.00 USD)
- 127.27 Dash for Daniel's hotel ($982.65 USD)
- 5.00 Dash reimbursement for the proposal cost
- LESS the leftover 5.60 Dash from the previous d10e Conference Sponsorship proposal (the Dash price appreciated from the date it was
submitted to the network to the date we paid d10e, so we are applying
those funds here)

Any further information why this is _so_ expensive?
Which hotel is that?
and that is what this is probably
But if there are hotels at least half the price in 5-minutes cab drive distance, I'm not ok spending so much money just for the 15 minutes extra time it would take to go to a cheaper hotel.
We already have Oaxaca, Buster, and TheDashGuy going. Evan is speaking so obviously he should go. If Sara joins him that makes 5.
