Hmm how could it be "leaked" if Fluffy himself offered to tell more about it for those closer interested in it?
I think it does not matter any more, we are near 60% funding in not even 2 days.

It may well matter, we just don't know yet.

Fuck Primer, by the way.

The point is not how much i made, point is fluffy did this on purpose, more than 10 people were in on it. His commit access needs to be revoked asap!

So, wait... is this "leaked" document intended to HARM this project somehow?

If it's legit (seems possible to me) it looks great, to me: what's the problem? Why did that have to be "leaked" vs just part of the project explainer?

TL;DR basically to me this looks like it's a project pitch from a marketing and online promotion company specializing in the music industry, i.e. doing stuff like rock bands website, their merchandise and promo sales stuff etc. ..

I would be interested to see what the sales numbers on those sites and would like to see the ROI on this deal.

AFA as getting the word out there it is a step in the right direction, I only wish there were more currently relevant bands on there as opposed to the ones there now that really don't have the 20 something crowd. Those bands have more like the 40+ something crowd. UFC is nice though, does anyone know how to find out that sites yearly revenue? I'm going to step out on a limb here and say Slayer and Motorhead are not living off the income from their online merchandise sales.

I also don't see why this has to be kept secret as I'm not thinking their is going to be a mad ruck to throw 220 BTC at this deal from many other coins. Maybe ETH as they have money to blow but since they are not a direct competitor only Dash maybe would try to grab that deal. And I have to emphasize the word maybe.

Why does it say "Select Client list" who made that list? what is the entire list Evergreen has at their disposal?

Anyway how much of the Dev fund is going into this? Also where can we check on the Dev funds accounting? Who actually hold the keys to that fund? It seems that information should be prominently displayed on the Main sites page.

I really like this:

Code:

Collaborate with artist(s) merchandising company to integrate Globee into the artist(s) existing Shopify store. [b]In the
event that this isnt possible[/b], we will collaborate with the artist(s) merchandising company to design and develop a
mobile optimized, Monero exclusive, stand-alone online store, and integrate the Globee for payment processing.

But the bolded concerns me.

And I missed the this in my first skim of the proposal.

Quote

Work closely with G&M to pursue relationships with one or more mutually agreed upon artist(s) that will be[size=120pt] allow us to
create official[/size], stand-alone online store(s) where Monero is the exclusive method of payment. Initial artist targets
include:
Iron Maiden, Ghost, Slayer, Motley Crue, Mariah Carey, Motorhead, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, and Five
Finger Death Punch
.

None of the Dev fund is going into this. This is funded by an entirely separate FFS proposal - it's not taking money away from something else. That said, if it's profitable, any profits returned will be going into the general Dev fund.

I think the big opportunity here is further integration into the rest of the Shopify platform - or at least more of it. That's a huge win for Monero.

My impression is that FP shared this RFP with some people who wanted more information. One of them leaked it. It's not terrible, but it's not necessarily helpful. It doesn't reflect well on FP, though it's not his fault. To the extent that this could be a game-changer for Monero, any kind of leak until it's in place and properly integrated is unhelpful.
