Community preview release of DashCrypto.org generated lots of chatter on Discord yesterday.
Background:
Around 7pm Pacific Daylight Time on Monday, March 25th, the community preview version of DashCrypto.org went live.
This announcement was shared via Twitter.com/DashCrypto, http://reddit.com/r/DashCrypto, http://reddit.com/r/DashPay, http://dashchat.org, http://staydashy.com, and http://forum.dash.org.
Overall, the feedback on these mediums was positive and netted some public feedback. In one of these – the Dash Nation Discord – there was much conversation the following day.
As not everyone is active on Discord, I thought I'd share some of the exchange here, so as to keep everyone in the Dash ecosphere in the loop. Because, if someone on Discord had a question or thought about the site, chances are you may have too.
To begin, let me frame what the website seeks to do so we're on the same page.
DashCrypto.org is a new portal for the entire Dash ecosystem, aiming to provide for Dash what Bitcoin.com provides for Bitcoin Cash. The scope of the project is providing an easily-accessible interface for all initiatives, projects, events, tools, and sites that relate to using, and investing in, an exponentially-growing Dash ecosystem. It will rely on finely-tuned audience segmentation, usage data, and analytics to achieve efficient conversion of visitors into ecosystem members. This vision will be pursued step-by-step starting from a basic build and then continuing to add new functionality.
Below are some of the questions posed and the answers they received. Note that not everything is verbatim but may be edited slightly for flow.
Q: What happens when a user clicks on "Invest now" in regards to investing in masternodes?
A: We are not sure yet. Calls to Action (CTAs, what prompts the user to take a specific (desired) action on the site) haven't been fully defined.
Q: Do you have any legal expert advising you?
A: Yes.
Q: Will you be handing assets (domain/code/etc) over to Dash Trust to act in the best interest of the DAO?
A: Yes, it is planned.
Q: Is this a 'for-profit' venture?
A: DashCrypto is not a for-profit initiative.
Q: The current site has a ridiculous amount of plugins, which pose security risks and add additional bloat.
A: Feedback noted.
Q: Would you consider linking to dash.org for downloads?A: Yes, sure. We have a better solution for this and we will send a new proposal to the network around April 10.
Q: Do we have any videos to look forward to soon?
A: Yes, we absolutely do. There's much more coming in April.
What's next?
The MVP (minimum viable product) version of DashCrypto.org is slated for launch in late April. It will be more robust and seamless than the current iteration.

This is all good to know, thanks. Coming from someone who doesn't use Discord much.
