Proposal description
Reimbursement Proposal for the Dash N Drink Instantx Miami Demo.The team Put in an original proposal to cover the
costs of this project. We later resubmitted for a lower amount to
expedite payment. There were significant costs associated with
designing, building, transporting, and demonstrating this piece of
awesomeness. You have to admit, it was a hit!
Below are the itemized expenses which will appear on our TPS report.
--------------------------------------------------------
Extra show charge for electricity and additional space. $750
Additional expenses for soda machine compressor. $200
Additional expenses for paint, paint gun, and thinner. $200
Parking expenses for vehicle and trailer. $150
Mobile Data Used $100
5 PIs and other parts destroyed during testing. $320
Several burnt up power supplies. $100
Hotel Expenses $430
As you can see, the amount requested does not begin to cover actual expenses. We are fine with this.

BTW, this is just for Oaxaca. Solar and I were not willing to keep paying for the "extra" stuff that kept coming up at the last minute as a result of the scam artists in Miami. We were going to walk away, and the only reason we went to Miami was because of Oaxaca dumping his money on it. He's the only one you're snubbing by making an emotional, childish "no" vote.
The vendors you want to have adopting your system are capable of looking at this stuff, too, you know... It's the reason why I wanted the other proposal voted down; you ran them all off by being anti-business brats. There was nothing to do with that money anymore since you killed your own interest. Who wants a payment portal run by the very people who want to bankrupt them? They're not so small-minded that they can't see that zero fees here might look nice, but with higher taxes, more welfare, $16/hr minimum wage coming from these same people on the back side of it, they'd rather pay the 3% and risk the chargebacks. It's a better deal!
When we got the blackmail note from the conference asking for blood money or they would kill the project we had a choice to make. I took it on myself to pay out of my own pocket to keep the dream alive. I saw the tremendous benefit of having a real world physical Instantx demo at the show. At that point future projects and reimbursement for not only me, but all the other members was never discussed. Nobody even considered trying to get the sunk costs back from the community. That included me.
This funding proposal is not about the 100 DASH to be split up between everybody. It's a small amount and makes no difference. This proposal is about whether the community is willing to support independent projects that people dreamup that will benefit the DASH ecosystem. It's about whether, as a community we are committed to individual initiative or whether we want to just sit back and let somebody else do it. Are we going to show our support for these kinds of people or are we going to just sit back and collect our "interest"?
Will these established proposals not all return again with the next cycle ? (somewhere in March i assume?)
