This is why I think this budget proposal system needs work.
Please don't take this as an attempt to derail the good work you have done however.

Where are the receipts. Where is the accountability.
you asked for funding and you got it. Why should you get additional funding due to the fact you misquoted and need further funds.

This isn't a personal attack either. I have no doubt the costs incurred are accurate and the work done on the machine was worth every cent.

There has to be a line drawn, This is where my previous comments come into play. Had we engaged a company who built vending machines every day. Who incorporated Crypto payments into these machines every day. Would we have had these issues?

This is where you say there isn't any one doing this kind of thing. To that all I have to say is.. There is a market to become a business based off the back of these kinds of projects.
If a business misquotes work they need to eat the costs.

You say you aren't a business. Then maybe we should start giving these kinds of jobs to someone who is a business.

Emit.

Reimbursement Proposal for the Dash N Drink Instantx Miami Demo.The team Put in an original proposal to cover the costs of this project. We later resubmitted for a lower amount to expedite payment. There were significant costs associated with designing, building, transporting, and demonstrating this piece of awesomeness. You have to admit, it was a hit!

Below are the itemized expenses which will appear on our TPS report.
--------------------------------------------------------
Extra show charge for electricity and additional space. $750
Additional expenses for soda machine compressor. $200
Additional expenses for paint, paint gun, and thinner. $200
Parking expenses for vehicle and trailer. $150
Mobile Data Used $100
5 PIs and other parts destroyed during testing. $320
Several burnt up power supplies. $100
Hotel Expenses $430

As you can see, the amount requested does not begin to cover actual expenses. We are fine with this.
