Proposal description
Dash Core Group March 22nd Funding Proposals
DCG is submitting 2 funding proposals for the budget cycle that pays out March 22nd:
1) DCG Operations: 5,147 Dash per month (currently in month 3/3)
2) DCG Supplemental proposal: 492
Why make this proposal when so many other proposals are out there?
Dash Core Group have been very consistent about requesting around 5500 Dash for the last year and a half. Staff compensation is around 3000 Dash and 62k USD per month (with about 21 full time contributors) and another 4k USD per month on infrastructure to maintain Testnet, Devnets, and some smaller expenditures such as licenses. We have a small buffer that we were able to create when the price of Dash recently rose to 50+ USD. At a price of 22.5$ without a supplemental this buffer would only last a few months. With this supplemental we can last much longer without needing to lay off critical staff.
Wen 2.0 / Tokens ?
Most features are in testing except the marketplace which should take about 2 weeks to finish, then a few more days to test, right now it's looking like 2.0 will be release in the first week of April.
If you have any questions, please direct them to @quantumexplorer at dashcentral to ensure we are notified of your request.
Requested funding is as follows for the January budget cycles:

However, I had a question that's unrelated to this proposal. Who and why is promoting a "privacy overhaul"? Shouldn't major changes like this be put forward to the network first? There's almost no discussion in the community about WHY we're changing or adding to the protocol? And why use Monero stuff? CT is Monero tech through-and-through, but Monero's privacy has been shown to not be effective, so why are we copying them, with no feedback or vote from the community?
This is what the treasury and proposals are for. It appears the enemies of Dash are attempting a "no-proposal attack", i.e. instead of flooding the network with proposals, they push critical changes WITHOUT them. The community was designed to have a process for feedback and polling stakeholders for this very reason and I think that we should follow the proper procedure in adding something as large as CT to Dash.

Where is the justification for this? Where is the community consensus that this needs to happen AT ALL? You guys are putting the cart before the horse and assuming the conclusion (this is a logical fallacy less commonly known as "begging the question") without putting it to the community on whether or not we EVEN WANT THIS. Skipping this important first step is a red-flag and indicates that something untoward is afoot.
Please, tell me where I'm wrong.
