Ditch the fucking car. Waste of fucking money if you can’t point to direct investors being brought onboard because of that.
I can understand the need for these types of things but 200k? And that’s just for a quarter? Holy shit that’s beyond excessive. Are we getting expense receipts for that kind of cash? Because if not that’s pretty hilarious and embarrassing.
I’m all for marketing, conferences and stuff. But I thought Justine was crazy when she was asking for a fraction of this. This post barely explains where the money is intending to go. Please provide better evidence of what it’s going to do.
Example: conference 1 - 5k for a booth and projector mini theatre
Water wells - 2k per well.
Just the basics here guys..
Justine at least had a grip on PR and was prepared to become "The face of Hive," even if it was for money. What Hive needs a lot of PR to put it in front of everyone, to have good relations with crypto news outlets, good relations with exchanges and so forth.
People tend to follow things that are newsmakers.
Anyone remember how Amanda Johnson put DASH on the map 8-10 years ago?
That's for sure, relations are important with these groups.
Denmark if you haven't already make sure to vote for the return proposal! That's how we can push back on stuff like this from being implemented.
At least Justine was a one time payment.
Yeah I haven't paid much attention to VP and their asks but I've heard it's very regularly.
Trump if you're not, support the return proposal!! I think this is the best way we can make sure crap like this doesn't get passed.
Return proposal is the best proposal
👍
Please. Just a simple clue where $200,000 is budgeted to go over three months.
I understand about receipts for expenses not arriving in the same quarter and the challenges of reconciling budgets and expenses, but this is a future budget, presumably to fund a plan that's in place for the next three months ...
@shanibeer please vote for the return proposal as a defense against this crap! We need to get that a lot higher to ward off foolish proposals like this.
I understand. The problem that I have with that is that perfectly good proposals which may not have the same access to voters with high stake are pushed out of funding. There is a more general problem with the DHF that funding is insecure - depending on votes on the proposal itself and the return proposal, funding could be in place one day and gone the next. Difficult if you want engage a company to do marketing, for example.
There's a strategic planning post slated to come out soon, that's why it wasn't really outlined here.
In very brief: it'll go to paying off HF, the upcoming rally, logistics for the Amsterdam conference (sponsorship was already paid last Q), a few smaller events, India tech/hackathon program (there's a whole thread of comments outlining India as the prime adoption market), digital promotions including Vibes. B2B is currently piloting a few new approaches so those expenses are projected to be very low. Everything else is waiting on either strategy/whitepapers and can't go anywhere until that's complete.
Thank you for letting me know.
Ok this helps even more but to my other comment - these plans need to be put out there WITH the request for money, and it seems you’re only doing this because people are rightfully throwing a fit at this poorly crafted proposal.
I am appalled at the numbers I’ve seen above, 1 million HBD already and what the fuck do we have to show for it besides being pushed further downward?
These funds are going to be mostly going to digital promotions and conferences that we know are going to be attended because we did well in them earlier this year. The old car is in the process of being sold so that'll offset rally costs. We had one rally planned ahead for the year and that's it. It's in general estimated to all come in under 200k going forward but HF costs are still outstanding, that's why it's higher like this.
Justine's proposal was for her salary for helping with the early listings, not for marketing. Not a good comparison.
Ok thanks for this response but it still doesn’t account for specifically where the money is going.
How did you come up with an ungodly amount like 200k? What is the cost breakdown for each event? That is basic information that is simply not provided.
I want marketing and things to succeed but it seems there’s some arrogance here because you’ve got blocktrades, the largest whales support, the information is sparse at best and you’re just hoping to squeeze in with others.
Please provide a much better plan for funding!
