DASH Foundation Board Member
2014 - 2018
DARKCOIN In Mar 2014 helped organize a team of investors to acquire a considerable stake in Dash (formerly Darkcoin). The subsequent sprout of anon-centric tokens created a need for Darkcoin to differentiate, so we worked to have Darkcoin listed on Bitfinex (at the time the largest exchange having only ever listed BTC & LTC). DARKCOIN FOUNDATION Later in 2014, we reached out to core dev E. Duffield to offer support. We proposed the creation of a foundation to raise dev funds and provide direction to the ecosystem. I'm proud to have been involved in assembling the original board. REBRAND Darkcoin's implementation of Instant X moved it beyond just an anon cryptocurrency. Pushed at the board level for a rebrand to Dash, which is short for Digital Cash. The new brand clearly emphasized its key new feature of instant transactions while moving the anonymous "dark" aspects to the background. - Organized and led initial rebrand discussions - Assembled the team responsible for handling rebrand trademark and IP legal needs - Originated key strategies such as the acquisition of Dashcoin for IP rights to successfully contest a prior trademark application by a B&M financial co. This is the first crypto to crypto M&A deal on record. GOVERNANCE In late 2014 I proposed to Dash core dev E. Duffield that we redirect a portion of the Masternode rewards to fund projects that advanced the Dash ecosystem (an idea that BTCtalk whale Otoh and I dreamed up now referred to as "inflation funding"). Evan loved it and the team ran with it, delivering the 2015 white paper "Decentralized governance by blockchain". This would create an incredible feedback loop that would attract devs, capitalize numerous Dash startups, and drive the market cap from $15M to $1B+. It's been a huge success. https://www.dash.org/ https://www.dashfoundation.io/
