- Proposal Scope
- Why Vote Yes?
- Budget Breakdown
Over the next 3 months we will onboard 132 merchants and complete 6 partner integrations.
We plan to hold 33 of our consumer activation events and open 990 new wallets.
We base these numbers on what we have consistently achieved over the last 6 months in which we have been funded and a 10% growth rate in deliverables per month which we can and need to achieve in order to make Dash successful.
Additionally we will release and distribute 6 explainer videos to complement our in person marketing for users and merchants and continue our successful merchant retention and value add program.
Furthermore we will speak at 6 finance and crypto conferences to network and generate new integration leads.
Lastly we want to execute a social media marketing pilot we have been planning, because to efficiently scale into the market we will need to push down our cost per result considerably especially in consumer acquisition.

3. Proposal Scope:
Over the next 3 months we will enable and support Dash acceptance at several new merchants and financial infrastructure/high value companies, build out our media contacts and social media activities. We will also continue our consumer adoption strategy.
Going forward we will scale our deliverables by 10% every month, in order to consistently increase our impact for Dash and Nigeria. We believe Dash needs stronger and more tangible growth to become a widespread success.
Over the last couple of months we have integrated many exchanges so we can now work on integrating Dash with traditional payment service offerings. We have already integrated Dash into kurepay and can now approach their merchants.
Merchants:
40, 44 and 48 merchants in august, September and October respectively.
Continue our merchant service program with consistent outreach in person as well as online support and engagement.
Integrations:
Close existing leads.
Replenish lead pipeline at conferences and through direct outreach.
2 integrations/ business development partnerships monthly.
Marketing:
10, 11 and 12 consumer usage events in august, September and October respectively.
More content for Dash Nigeria academy.
Industry Conferences:
Attend events to promote Dash, create new wallets, get integration leads.
2 conferences monthly.
Have a feel of people paying with Dash for their cinema tickets:
Videos:
Create videos promoting Dash with an overview of current activities of the network. Our videos can be seen here.
2 videos monthly
Social Media Marketing:
Increased marketing of Dash via social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp
Dash Nigeria Help/ Support Line:
More newbies and users keep reaching out to us with questions and issues that need support. These range from wallet issues, to buying Dash OTC, to shared masternode enquiries, to more education, merchant enquiries, etc.
Pilot program on Users & Consumers acquisition:
This will produce a detailed document proposing ideas on how to strategically get our message out to onboard new users/ consumers.
4. Why Vote YES?
Proven team:
We have been executing the proposed strategy already successfully for a couple of months. We have been able to constantly increase all relevant metrics: Integrations, merchants, users, transactions and have recently branched out into engaging media partners.
Low cost:
We’re constantly among the cheapest teams in the category “General Dash adoption”. We believe to have generated a high return on investment for the DAO and are pushing to get even more cost efficient.
Consistent adoption:
We don’t promise the pie in the sky. We don’t expect you to pay us many months in advance. We work step by step, unlocking new Dash adoption along the way. Support us and continue to see ongoing results month over month.
Nigeria is hungry for Dash:
Campaigns like #EndBankingFraud prove that Nigeria’s financial infrastructure is ripe for disruption. When we approach Nigerian consumers and merchants with Dash we are met with excitement about all the new possibilities Dash offers them. We’re introducing reliable payments, free “banking” infrastructure and economic cross border payments, capabilities that many Nigerians are experiencing for the first time and are reaping the corresponding strong results.

With the recent revelation that the user henrygeorgist is a member of the monero community (check his reddit profit https://www.reddit.com/user/henrygeorgist) who lies about Dash on reddit while pretending to be a good, upstanding member of the community here. He **is a verified MNO**. Which means I was correct, we have a group of malicious masternodes that are desperately trying to defund and cynically attack proposals that will grant us adoption all over the globe.
Dash Nigeria is only second to Dash Venezuela in the amount of deliverables that they have brought to the network, so clearly, voting against their proposal is a bad move that is not in our best interests. The Monero community is obsessed with seeing us fail and they have sworn to never again allow our marketcaps to surpass theirs. So they spend **all their time** lying about us on reddit. Meanwhile if you go to their own subreddit, you won't see any of the venom they spew elsewhere. It is the same thing we see when Dash Venezuela's lead team was character-assassinated and taken over by 'new management'. We have to fight these guys. They don't want us to succeed and become digital cash for the globe. Let's show them that we mean business by voting YES for Dash Nigeria!
In about a years time, we will have 10times the transactions Monero has.
Within three years we will have 100times more transactions than Monero.
No need to hate on such Monero trolls like henrygeorgist, those poor cunts are envious & desperate !
All they should get from us is not hate, but pity!
You are right, this proposal deserves more upvotes.
Hopefully it gets funded

Dash Accepted at Mainstream Cinema Industry in Nigeria
Dash is now accepted and used by mainstream brands in Nigeria's Cinema Industry. We've partnered with Lighthouse Cinemas, Yaba, Lagos, http://imgur.com/a/CeyZNnc to have people #PaywithDash at a discount to purchase movie tickets.
The Cinema also gave us the opportunity to show a Dash video & give a short talk before the movies begin.
The movie, Hustlers http://imgur.com/a/KqgDbhj premieres tomorrow and will be accessible to watch by Dash users at a discount.
Cinemas are mostly patronised by the rich & middle class in Nigeria, and this is a cost effective means of reaching them with our message at Dash.
We'll be having a pilot tomorrow and if successful, we'll make it frequent.
You're in building a Dashy Nigeria...

Also, kindly give us your feedback if you've voted "No" or "Abstain".
Looking forward to keep promoting Dash in Nigeria by this proposal passing. Thanks.
Also, we have been billed to present Keynote speeches at some upcoming events in August and September. Your votes will help us fulfill our obligations of representing Dash at those events.
Not forgetting the partnerships & MoUs recently concluded as outlined in our DW reports. We have our roles to play and we cannot afford to have our partners in the dark when we should both be promoting Dash.
We're also available for any questions.
Thanks.

We're currently not funded, and if this proposal doesn't pass, that might be the end of the operations of Dash Nigeria unfortunately. We however do not want this to happen as we are the only Dash group operating in Africa at the moment. Why should an entire continent be defunded?
Please see our proposal video here https://youtu.be/98iy8Umtuj0 and vote to fund us.
Thanks.
Which is where my confusion comes from. This is clearly a team that is working day and night to spread Dash adoption in Nigeria and surrounding environs, and they have certainly produced results, clearly. So why are there so many troll comments on their proposals? Why the defunding and lack of support?
Integrations, transactions, viral campaigns, this is what we expect our Decentralized autonomous organizations to do don't come free. NO OTHER COIN has the same capabilities that we have, and Dash Nigeria is perhaps, besides KuvaCash and DCG, one of the best examples of what our decentralized funding model can accomplish.
We just have to support them with our Yes votes. That's all we have to do. Click a button. There is literally no good reason to not fund these hardworking young people. There seems to be those who wish to sabotage our growth and change the narrative. This is because Dash has EMBARASSED the rest of the cryptocurrency community. BCH, BTC, XMR, PIVX all of them talk a big game but when it comes to adoption, speed at the PoS, innovation, testing, live upgrades and more essential blockchain characteristics, they all eventually come up short. NOT DASH.
Our job as MNOs, therefore, is to vet projects and make sure they are working for Dash adoption. This way, we can spread these advantages to those who really need them. No more fake cryptocurrency wars, just REAL ADOPTION. Nathaniel and the Dash Nigeria team have clearly shown to be doing just that. Every day it seems, there's more and more integrations, more and more partnerships and viral content. We can't afford to allow the other communities to gain on us here. We have the unique opportunity to self fund our growth and become the number one cryptocurrency in the space.
Indeed, just by stores accepting Dash alone, WE ARE ALREADY NUMBER ONE. That was spearheaded by Dash Venezuela and they have spawned many copy cat communities. This is exactly the kind of thing that leads to a large network effect and that will cause Dash to rise above the competition and succeed where others are dithering. A Yes vote for Dash Nigeria is a YES VOTE FOR DASH!
Let's get out there and win this thing.
b) what marketing messages are being utilized to try and persuade consumers in Nigeria to purchase some Dash?
b) Obviously showing them the difference between Dash and fiat. Focus is on international trade payments. Currently in talks with mycashestate.com, to accept Dash so people could pay with Dash. They are a US based company that allows Africans invest in realestate in the US. This will give lead to lots of value being transferred via Dash. We can't wait to make this work.

And several others are what we deliver monthly. Meanwhile, we recently signed an MOU with Ferrum Network to integrate Dash on 4 of their platforms, while we're in talks with Coincola and will be closing a partnership with them soon.
Currently having partnership discussion with transsion, parent company of ITEL, infinix, Tecno, Oraimo, on a possible partnership to promote Dash.
Kindly note that we have one of the cheapest costs among all country teams currently operating.
P.S. We're still delivering results even when not currently funded.
Thanks.
Hopefully your proposal is going to be approved
