The backports are important work that I'd be happy to support, but I'm a bit confused by seeing this proposal. At every core release, DCG says they implemented so and so many Bitcoin backports. Are you part of DCG? Or are they claiming credit for your work? If not, could you please describe how the backport work is divided up?

Dear MasterNoodle,

Thank you for your question,

I am not part of DCG; I’m just an open-source enthusiast who stumbled upon Dash in September 2021. As I explored the project, I became intrigued by its potential and wanted to contribute. I applied to be a part of Dash, and I was redirected to the Dash Incubator program.

Since 2021, I’ve been contributing through the Dash Incubator under various strategists like Spectaprod and Pshemnic. The work I’ve done so far has been aligned with improving Dash through Bitcoin backports within the program.

Now, with changes in the way contributions are organized, we have to create our own proposals to continue the work we’ve been doing. This proposal represents my effort to secure the support needed to keep contributing to Dash’s development.

Backporting is a team effort, with core developers like KittyWhiskers and Pasta handling a significant portion of the work. I contribute as much as I can within my capacity.

I hope this clears up any confusion, and I’d be happy to answer any more questions you might have!

So are you still getting paid from the Incubator?

> Now, with changes in the way contributions are organized, we have to create our own proposals

Could you please outline what those changes are? I thought the whole purpose if the Incubator was to collect a budget from the treasury to be able to pay out bounties for specific tasks. If you have to create your own proposals, what's the point of the Incubator then?

Thanks, Rion. I’ll keep contributing in my capacity because I enjoy doing it. I remain optimistic about gaining the community’s support in the future.

The budget is tight right now, so I can understand not prioritizing this for this month.

I would ask MNOs to consider upvoting so that it can potentially be brought into funding next month when it seems likely that the budget will be more available.

Thanks for your consideration.

Dear Community,
I recognize that there are other high-priority projects needing funding ahead of mine. I’m perfectly okay with abstentions or even having my proposal overlooked given the current demands. That said, receiving a "no" vote can feel somewhat disheartening.

Dear Community,

I kindly request your support and vote for my proposal on backporting Bitcoin changes to Dash. Your vote will allow me to continue this essential work, ensuring Dash stays aligned with the latest Bitcoin advancements.

Thank you for your support!

Best regards,
Vijay

FYI, this is indeed Vijay's proposal. He submitted it using our new proposals.digitalcash.dev app, but he still needs to set up his full node to claim ownership here on dashcentral. We will eventually bring the proposal claiming feature within the app as well, but haven't got to it yet.

Thank you, Rion, for sharing the new tool—it made submitting the proposal much easier for me. I also appreciate all the help and support you've provided me.

You are doing great work, voting YES!

You can see Vijay's github account here and the PRs he is doing.

Thank you very much for your appreciation

Are you kidding?

Voting YES to a proposal with NO description?

Hi I have now updated the proposal, requesting your kind consideration

If you are the one who backports the Bitcoin changes, then WHAT THE HELL DCG IS DOING????

I support you.

Hi Demo, backporting is a substantial task, with Pasta and Kittywhiskers managing most of the heavy lifting. I contribute in my own capacity to support the team in this effort. I’m grateful for your support and hopeful for continued backing so I can expand my contributions in the future.

It's a team effort, Demo, Vijay only does a very small amount of the backports, kittywhiskers and pasta do the majority of them.
