Updates on delegate team

We want to thank Mat608 for his great work as Argentina Marketing partner and his initiative on this delegate creation, wise driving and reliable administration. We are proud to have his confidence as delegate successor, and wish him the best for his upcoming projects.

We agreed with Matt on a delegate replacement for argentina-marketing-matt608, and he kindly accepted to run his delegate a couple extra months so we can prove integrity and commitment to the community while coordinating the new delegate registration and vote swap proposition.

With actual team reorganization we are working voluntarily. No one is getting paid for their contributions until we prove being valuable for the network. If a specific service needs to be paid to somone, that will be proposed in advance.

Budget allocation

Given our main goal to target already crypto-friendly public until Bitshares stable release, expenses have been low. As long time active members of Bitcoin Argentina community, we already have place and resources to create Meetups and participate on many conferences and other crypto related events. Costs are many times limited just to BitUSD paper wallet giveaways, printing and little else.

Matt has around 1500 BitUSD delegate savings (plus last weeks payouts).  He has already covered his delegate registration fee.

We want to keep this direction, while making bigger plans for the upcoming times.
We would like to have some feedback at this point:

• Do you think we should keep saving as much as possible until 1.0 release?
• If so, what percentage would you like us to allocate on actual conferences as paper wallet giveaways, tri fold printing, etc?
• Should we start a discrete paid advertising campaign prior to 1.0 release?
• Should we remain filming talks at this moment?
• Would be right if we use funds to pay the delegate registration before the vote swap?
• Would you like Bitshares to sponsor Ariel Aguilar Bitcoin Evangelist conferences on one of his sponsorship/pricing categories? I.e. in the 250USD we could have access to participation in stands in top tier conferences where we can giveaway paper wallets + brochures. (See his Bitcoin Evangelism Plan Crowdfunding Campaign.)
• Any other input is also welcome

We'd like to hear all views that contribute to align the community on a steady course

DAC's C may stand for Company (profit) but Distributed and Autonomous means freedom.
Trying to imagine bitcoin's first stages being mainly focused on price and makes no sense to me

Thats big, and trezor might start to advertise aiming at bitshares
