Proposal description
DashCentral stands as the primary governance platform for DASH, a role it has fulfilled since 2014. Over the years, I've consistently implemented changes to the website, ensuring its compatibility with the ever-evolving DashCore software.
The operational costs of DashCentral have been borne by me for the past decade, supplemented by the donations from the community (typically ranging from 1-2 DASH per month) and 6 months of dashcentral-operations1, 12 months of dashcentral-operations2 proposal, 12 months of dashcentral-operations3 proposal, that expired.
I am seeking funding support amounting to 28 DASH per month to sustain the ongoing operations of DashCentral. This funding will cover hosting, sysops, and a monthly allocation of 0.5 working days for developer/sysop activities. I have to pay around 50% tax on the requested 28 DASH. This financial backing is required to maintain the website's uptime and ensure it's functionality remains synchronized with DashCore's continuous changes.

The 28 DASH/month request is based on the average DASH price over the last 3 months (about $39).
Item Per year
Funding: 28 DASH × $39 × 12 months $13,104
Hosting and backups ($150/month) −$1,800
Accountant −$1,000
Before tax $10,304
Tax (about 50% marginal rate) −$5,152
Left for my time $5,152 (about $429/month)
The remaining $429/month pays for the time it takes to run and update DashCentral.
DashCentral is not run for profit. This budget covers its running costs so that I'm no longer operating the platform at a personal loss, as I have for much of the time since 2014. It's a small fraction of the value DashCentral provides to the thousands of community members who rely on it since a decade.
This is really nice!
What do you think about making a really big profit, by publishing your source code?
(Nice side effect: Others will be able to run similar services.)
