Yes, I think this is very much needed. It is a pretty high entry barrier to run a delegate and get voted in.
+5% For your generosity and the work you already put into the website. You definitely have my vote.
btw like the minimal but clean design ...
Objective : To fund critical projects on an as needed basis without waiting for delegate funds to accrue.
Initially, as a show of good faith, there will be 1.5 Million BTS available for funding projects.

and I'd say that's (stunningly) more than just a show of good faith!
Great beginning to the website as well.

Thanks Cass, it means a lot to hear that from you. I'm still learning how to put them together and not able yet to make it exactly like I envision it to be, but slowly figuring it out.
Thankfully, I don't think a site like this needs to be too complicated.
Very good idea. This should cut down the ramp up funding of ideas and allow them to get off the ground faster.
When I click the submit proposal button nothing happens? The contact link also returns a error.
Fantastic initiative!
One possible category of funding help you might consider is aiding an occasional poor but worthy delegate with a registration fee loan?
Get your votes in, 1.5 Million BTS being offered upfront! This should be voted in double time.
Yes I made a post in your thread on Nullstreet.
Great initiative!! Especially if the focus will be on high quality projects! Be selective! +5%
How do you think paying these projects will mostly be handled: BTS, BitAssets or fiat?
Funds sent with "arlene " in memo. Please confirm receipt.
I sent some to both addresses but forget the memo, so just split evenly between both.
Sent some to Arlene :)
Just sent our first donation for 'Arlene'
I'm really happy to be moving forward with this! Thanks for your help Xeldal. 8)
Please spread the word everyone, and approve fund.bitsharesbreakout
I can't understand why this delegate still isn't voted in!
Come on – please vote for fund.bitsharesbreakout
Thats just plain wrong nowadays ..I can't understand why this delegate still isn't voted in!
Come on – please vote for fund.bitsharesbreakout
Sadly, no one gets in without BM's approval....
So far we've received a stunning 76,500 BTS in Community Contributions . Thank you all for your donations!! +5%
In order to pay these donors back we need more votes for delegate : fund.bitsharesbreakout Show your support and vote now.
I've added a new project to the list.
Project: favdesu Raffle & Giveaway
Favdesu has shown some good numbers with his initiative here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=14554.msg189307#msg189307
I've donated 5000BTS to his fund.
take a look at his strategy and support him directly or send donations to BTS : bitsharesbreakout with memo: favdesu and Ill relay the funds to his project.
Once delegate fund.bitsharesbreakout is elected the idea is that your donations will be refunded.
Thanks again for all the support. Feedback is welcome.

Onward! :)
"In two weeks, we’ll be hitting the road and taking a very roundabout route to Blacksburg Virginia,
one of the biggest BitShares hotspots in the USA. The plan is to connect with community members
face-to-face, share stories, and document the heart behind the movement. We’ll be live-blogging
and filming along the way."
i've sent 10k BTS for testing .. pls confirm payment from you side .. i'll send 40k BTS more then ...Received. Thank you.
Introducing the Breakout Bot
In an effort to bring more value to this delegate proposal BitSharesBreakout has been working on a market making and arbitrage bot providing liquidity to BTS pairs.
The Breakout Bot has been in operation for the last 2 months or more and is constantly being improved and expanded.
We are currently providing liquidity to 10 different BTS and BitAsset markets across 6 different exchanges.
The BreakoutBot currently does not use any of the funds allocated to the Breakout Fund and that is not the intention. What I'm proposing here is that the 10% this delegate would keep for offering the service of the fund will instead be allocated to the Breakout Bot to provide greater liquidity to BitShares related markets.
So 90% of delegate pay remains allocated to the Breakout Fund
and 10% of delegate pay is now allocated to the Breakout Bot
At some point I may offer a UIA so anyone interested in supporting the Breakout Bot can share in the success and profit but not yet.
Currently the Bot is operated primarily from private donations.
At a later date if it is deemed valuable by the community a greater percentage may be allocated to the Breakout Bot, but my primary objective right now is to get this delegate elected and to repay all those who have so far graciously donated to this fund in support of our sponsored projects.
Please take a moment and vote for fund.bitsharesbreakout (http://bitsharesblocks.com/delegate/info?name=fund.bitsharesbreakout) We're getting very close now, ranked 112
Feedback and suggestions welcome and appreciated.
Thanks!

Last I heard Toby had most of it completed but did not have time to finish it due to his new born and other life challenges. I will have to try and contact him again to see where this is at. He agreed to refund the BTS if he didn't have anything for us after some time.
I'll report back when I get more details.

Please try to encourage him to finish it.. or maybe even update it given 2.0 coming.. I would really prefer we got the song rather than the BTS back. :)
Any update on the rap?
Any update on the rap?
He intends to return the deposit that he received as soon as hes able to cover his shorts. Looking at September as a possible time frame when he may have more time to work on the song.
Could you help: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,18337.msg234841/topicseen.html#msg234841
Your video was top notch and the value it brings to BitShares is undeniable.
I'll contact you regarding a reimbursement of your expenses.
