Welcome!

Can you share your past achievements on the same ground with other projects and reports?
Where can we find you on social?

Yeah, it would be good to know who they’ve worked with before and what results they’ve achieved.

Do you have a MN?

Also, have you asked this of the "DashGrowth" proposal?

This is a very good proposal :)

@PO Just ignore both of the dickheads qwizzie & lysergic, we see they are trashing almost every well-meaning proposal and should go screw themselves.

Be aware, this user is not a MNO and their comments should not be taken seriously.

If truth be told, does it really matter from who it's coming?

qwizzie & lysergic have perhaps 2 pathetic votes combined and try to influence how everyone else votes.
We should wipe our asses with their opinions.

Could you please give me more details about the media outlets - list them one by one?
What exactly do you mean by “popular news sites”? Are they local or global?

Will these publications also appear on the media’s social media pages?

And one more thing - why are you asking for a budget for three months upfront? It would be better to split it into parts and report on results each month.

Do you have a Masternode?

I think proposal owner is confusing Dash for a privacy-centric coin like Monero and Zcash and is unaware of the Dash developments over the years with regards to Dash Platform and its use cases that needs a different kind of marketing alltogether.

We just got a Platform release that upon activation in a few weeks will give us the necessary SDK tools that developers need to start building dApps and tokens on the Platform chain. We need to heavily start promoting and marketing this, so we can attract both more users and dApp developers.

Untill Dash actually get Confidential Transactions merged into its codebase (which will also need specific marketing and promotion) i think we should focus less on positioning Dash as “the practical privacy coin” and focus more on Dash Platform and its new use cases. Specially since so much budget funding has been put into this over the years.

Thanks for the feedback — you're 100% right to focus on Dash Platform. I’m fully aware of the ongoing developments and the massive treasury investment over the years. Dash Platform is live, production-ready, and the future of the ecosystem — and it’s time to tell the world. This proposal was updated and center everything on Platform adoption.

Please see my above comment.

Both of the following statements are false for the reasons I state below:

1. >"I think proposal owner is confusing Dash for a privacy-centric coin like Monero and Zcash "

Dash is currently the strongest privacy coin with an anonymity set size of 41 million @16 rounds of mixing, Zec only has an anonymity set size of roughly 5 million, while XMR only has an anonymity set size of 4 (according to their own subreddit). Dash is therefore a stronger privacy coin than either Zec or XMR.

2. >"Untill Dash actually get Confidential Transactions merged into its codebase (which will also need specific marketing and promotion) i think we should focus less on positioning Dash as “the practical privacy coin”"

This is also false. Confidential transactions doesn't work as a technology, which is why Monero is dumping it in their FCMP++ upgrade. Confidential transactions left XMR open to two forms of attack: timing analysis attacks as well as amount analysis attacks. Currently, Dash coinjoin separates mixing from sending and hides amounts using common denominations, making Dash coinJoin a form of ZK-proof, i.e. there is zero-knowledge required in order for you to get your coins mixed, you just know that they're mixed.

Confidential transactions removes these protections by 'mixing' at the time of spending and removing common denominations and relying on 'encryption instead'. Even if the encryption isn't broken, there are statistical and other attacks that can trace confidential transactions, as such, Dash is indeed currently the most practical privacy coin and your statement is in error.

It seems you are doubling down on this talking point without responding to feedback, which indicates that your position is not an honest one, but is likely paid promotion, probably from Joel or "Powerup Privacy" which is a Monero-based organization. If you think that Dash should be closer and friendlier to Monero, you owe it to the network to explain why and what's changed.

So for me it is a NO to 'make Dash the privacy narrative in 2026'.
The narrative should most definetely (in my opinion) be about Dash Platform in 2026.

the focus should be universal: digital cash, privacy Coin, powerful Platform, and all Dash strengths together.

Beware, that this user is part of a 'group' that works together to promote false narratives like the ones I explained above. As such you're not going to get him to budge, even though Dash is obviously a strong privacy coin, his group has likely been paid by the Monero community to promote their talking points in our DAO to corrupt discussions and control the narrative on privacy coins.

Notice that he promotes Confidential Transactions, which is a Monero technology, as well as the false notion that 'Dash is not a privacy coin'. Both of these are Monero-based talking points that have little to actually do with Dash.
