It looks as though Dash has really grown up from its humble beginnings of the ANN thread on BCT. This thread has become more of a Dash Force post thread these days, with real discussion and collaboration happening on Slack and Reddit.
I'm sad to see this thread struggle for conversation because it's where I first came in contact with Dash, but it's a great sign that it has grown up and left the nest.
The future is bright for Dash!

A Masternode Owner Reviews Dash AeroSports
Dash AeroSports, an aerobatic racing team headed by Scott Farnsworth, contracted with the Dash network to promote Dash at airshows around the world. One such outing was at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Adventure Air Show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Masternode owner Jim O’Shea was present at the airshow, and was able to review the results of Dash AeroSports’ promotion firsthand. Dash Force News spoke with O’Shea about what he saw at the airshow...

Dash Budget System: Where Reputation Is Everything
The Dash Budget System (DBS) is truly revolutionary. Never before has a blockchain supported itself; nor has there ever been a time when people supported themselves via payments from a blockchain. (Of course, blockchain technology itself didn’t even exist a few years ago.) But with anything new and innovative comes the potential for weaknesses and flaws, and sometimes such weaknesses can be exploited by individuals for personal gain. From this follows calls to prevent these flaws, but sometimes suggested “improvements” are actually steps in the wrong direction.
Scamming the DBS
One of the most common criticisms of the DBS is the possibility that proposal owners can scam the system. For example, a bad actor could ask for 100 Dash to set up a marketing campaign in Europe to promote Dash. He spends perhaps 10-15 hours working up a proposal, creating charts showing ROI, and presenting some of his past work. His proposal passes, and he receives 100 Dash in the following budget payout.

Fighting Trolls Is Hard Work... And That's a Good Thing
Over the past many months I’ve spent countless hours on every online forum imaginable, fighting online trolls seeking to malign Dash. Let me tell you, it has rarely been fun, and has sometimes been downright exhausting and disheartening. There’s no way around it: fighting trolls is unpleasant and difficult work. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. The very nature of that struggle is why the defender will always win against the troll in the end.
Trolling is the easy way out
The very decision to employ a trolling strategy is an indicator of poor long-term viability. Why? Because it represents the easy path. Building a cryptocurrency from the ground up, creating its community member by member, is long and hard work. The choice to use trolling to malign the competition instead of beating them fair and square represents a decision to “cheat.” That mindset won’t be a winning one when the going gets rough, as it invariably will.

BlockCypher Proposal Review - Dash Force News
BlockCypher is a “middleware” software provider for the blockchain industry. On the low level scary side you have the blockchain and software in C++ that runs it. This is foreign to your average web application developer that deals with html, css and php. From my experience it’s best to stay away from projects that make you have to worry about messing up someone’s money without a deep understanding of the integrations and a lot of security and testing.
In February of this year the core team decided to remedy this problem and began looking for an integration partner that could provide an API service that could provide solid easy-to-use hooks for consumer facing development projects to use. After some research they contracted with BlockCypher and submitted these these two proposals to fund the work.

Yeah you guys are looking really smart right now, I dumped all my coins after they got stuck in the mixer and I had to ask for help. That was back at around a buck and it was still called DarkCoin. I should have realized that the prompt and effective response I got here was a big green flag. CHC is looking like it could take some DASH marketshare...
Your the guy that believes and started the flat earth thread right? Now your admitting you dumped dark coin at a $1 WOW your reputation is out standing.

Dash can really position it self here to take advantage of this bitcoin fork. It looks like the original BTC is going towards the way of Digital Gold while Bitcoin Cash will be trying to play catch up to Dash, which it has little to no chance of. Being a Merchant I wouldn't put my trust behind a guy like Roger. He's an Ego maniac and control freak and gives off a bad vibe that I'm sure will continue to build up and emanate thru out his endeavors.

Why Cryptocurrency Is About to Change Irreversibly - Dash Force News
Bitcoin is coming to a chain split. Every passing second brings us closer to the moment when a second coin, Bitcoin Cash, will diverge from the main chain, allowing all the big block originalists to have their way while the rest of users can have another way. However, this isn’t just a case of a new coin being made. Something unprecedented is happening that will change the whole landscape of the cryptocurrency universe, never to be the same again.
Bitcoin thrived on “originalism”
The one great selling point of Bitcoin is that it was the first. It had the vision for peer-to-peer money, it had solid design and proven use cases. In short, it worked. What Bitcoin did was debut a workable model for blockchain technology that was solid, practical, and, from a certain point of view, flawless. One reason why so many have been hesitant to deploy any major changes over the past near-decade of its existence has been the fear of upsetting the mystical balance of Satoshi’s perfection. In other words, “We got it right the first time, don’t mess it up with useless experiments.”

Exactly. Most of the people who are putting forth these advertising proposals have their own best interests in mind. Not those of Dash
How many times have we seen .. "oh I will add dash payments to my website/platform.. and then they add other coins. Do you really think the other coins are paying for implementation ? By offering additional ways to pay they are only making their business more pliable and attractive.

Reading through the proposals and seeing that Dash has paid a fortune for sponsoring air shows and a plane wrapped in the dash logo I am left wondering why in the world a proposal for a marketing professional is going to fail.
It is very hard for the average masternode operator to know what value airshows and basketball teams will bring to adoption and recognition.
Think again about the CMO proposal. All the crappy things that get funded and hiring a professional gets voted down.
It is very hard for the average masternode operator to know what value airshows and basketball teams will bring to adoption and recognition.
Think again about the CMO proposal. All the crappy things that get funded and hiring a professional gets voted down.
First of all, that proposal was just an opinion survey on the question of whether a CMO should be hired. It started out as being a plan to recruit a CMO but after the community expressed concerns at an unknown personality (the proposal owner) having the responsibility to recruit such an important role, the proposal was modified to become a simple survey.
Secondly, the proposal became redundant following indications from Core team that they already had plans to address the need for a marketing professional. It was announced in the Q2 Core Team Call last week that Core is in the process of selecting a top international marketing firm. To quote Dash Force News:
Quote
In Q3 of this year, Dash Core will pursue the hiring of a marketing firm. The idea of an official marketing branch has been a hotly debated subject in the community, and this move puts the question to rest.

For what it is worth after your post I read up all the posts below that proposal and the opinion of the dev team and my vote would be no too.
I am anyway a bit worring that we do too much marketing while the required base adaption isn't there yet.
If you shout out in the world: That's a good product for payments... the next thing a user will ask where can I use it and if you have nothing convincing to show then your marketing is lost.
But a second thing..if I read what such a professional salery is... I have to say do we really want to follow the industrie and pay horendous saleries for "hot air blowers" and don't rather want to pay for this that make the product. I know thats the current world right now..but with crypto also such things have the chance to change and get into a balance.
