Proposal description
Dear MNOs,
As you can see here I finished building the beta version on July of 2021. I hosted the site for some time at my own expense. In that link you can read a little bit about what the site is about.
It is open source, this is the Github repo
The site is now live, but there are some services that need to be paid before the app can fully function, and I decided to wait for the Dash community to give me a green flag before I do so.
You can see pictures of the App in my personal website here
I also created a pre-proposal here with more details
The idea is to create three proposals:
1) Request 50 Dash for the work already done and expenses already made (in the pre-proposal I posted the logic behind of how I came across this number)
2) If the proposal one succeeds then I would create another proposal for the hosting and maintenance costs.
3) I would create another proposal to keep developing the app farther. (you can also read in the pre-proposal my view on this)
Please, vote YES if you agree with this or NO if you don't.
Thanks

Unfortunately I don't have a video right now, but I can guide you through the process:
1) A netizen navigates to a profile
2) The netizen sees a form with three inputs: name, amount to donate (USD), message. Also a button called "Tip"
3) The netizen fills the forum. Name and Message are optional and the message can be private.
4) The netizen clicks on Tip
5) A QR code appears to scan with the Dash wallet App (the user can also tip using the desktop app)
6) The QR code disappears and a success or error message appears
7) The tip is posted on the profile
I remember multiple other tipping services in the past where an uninitiated user could receive a message on social media that they'd been tipped, and then they could click a link to go claim it. Are you avoiding such functionality because it would entail custody of funds? Is there a solution now or on Platform where this functionality would work without you needing to provide custody?
But there are other ways of financing, for instance, there could be profile enhancers, that would be enabled by a monthly fee (example: expose a user on the homepage). Many ideas will also come through time.
Sorry for being so blunt but, you have no competition because it is not as indispensable as you think.
Dash can do split payments without custody so I can't imagine why you can't take a cut of every donation. For every paid opportunity you ignore, you ask the dash treasury to pay instead. Why must the dash treasury pick up the pieces because you don't want to split donations? Your principles are costing the treasury money, albeit not that much in the grand scheme of things.
I've never said that this app is indispensable and I also don't think in those terms. It is just better than probably most of the donation sites out there because of the superiority of Dash. After all, Dash is the king when it comes to digital cash right ? It is just amazing what it can do, and I see so much potential in this kind of approaches. For instance, I would love to see sites like pexels.com implement Dash in their donation system.
As I said before, there are many other ways to finance the site other than asking the treasury or taking a cut from tips, and I would certainly try to walk on that direction.
- Option one if for 50 Dash (one payment)
- Option two would be for an annual period and I would ask for 2 Dash per month, this would cover domain name, email services, db backups, droplet, deployment tooling and maybe others...
- For the option 3 I'm thinking of a number around 5 dash / month for an annual period as well, but this third option is not a must from the community to accept, the site can still live without it, but of course, there is a huge upside in potential, if it gets approved.
