More coming...

Sincere appreciations for voting our proposal.

Expect amazing results.

Building a Dashy Nigeria

voting YES. IMHO...it would be actual Dash enthusiasts that would spend at merchants. I don't know what the investment 'delay gratification' culture is like in Nigeria, but I would presume it is better than most other African nations. A focus on sheer investment and holding Dash for years could be good focus.
The Bitpesa thing would be great (really we need a complete Dashpesa version). This has been talked about for quite a while though as I recall (maybe I'm wrong).

As a MNO I've already cast my vote which is an obvious YES for this proposal. Its time for us to put our money where our mouths are and start supporting these independent young men and women who are fighting for financial freedom. They have seen the message that the Dash community and Dash Core Group have put out there, and they have heartily responded in the affirmative. We are lightyears ahead of our competition and a yes-vote here will allow us to solidify our position as the top cryptocurrency in so-called 'third-world' countries.

This is a massively easy, no-brainer yes to me. We have the chance to make history gents, let's make it happen!

Yes you make a good choice, so i think that these ind of proposal to develop Dash in these country like Venezuela, African country, Haiti and Caribbean country will help Dash to grow in the rank because these countries have a population that suffer with inflation, corruption with banking system and traditional remittance services. So i wanna that we take as example Venezuela to support more proposal from these similar country.

MNO's let vote this into green. I have seen great improvement with Africa proposal. Hope to see more of this. I just finished reading one of the African proposal too. I must say this guys are really working hard now and taking time to present professional proposals and have great plan for Dash in Africa.

Check out one of their proposal: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/dash-global-utility-for-dash.40977/#post-200170

easy Yes for this one! Hope to see new business integration and merchant on DD.

There have been so many different African proposals that I don't have time to try and keep up with all of them anymore, the Venezuela proposals are starting to become the same way.
I know most of the guys started out with the the Dash Force meetup program but have lost track recently.

Africa is a very big place and so very important in the long run.
I don't want to keep losing people in this region, Cryptolib always did a great job but his last proposal did not pass. IMO This was mostly due to voter apathy and fatigue in the region due to other controversial proposals taking up all the money and dominating the conversation. Venezuela getting most of the attention lately has also played a big role in voter fatigue in Africa.

I will support this proposal on a month to month basis and hope to see the integrations promised above and will continue support if the budget allows.

We hope our rebrand would make it easier for the community to recognise the various teams working in Africa.

Thanks for your support since the days of meetups.

We will be most delighted to have the integrations and merchants enlisting rolling out one after the other once this proposal passes.

Thanks again for your support.

Please help keep the momentum going. These guys have worked so hard to build infrastructure, educate and innovate using Dash for Nigerian specific use cases. It's amazing. The bear market should not cause fear, but determination to get this show on the road. Lets make things happen. Big things as well as little things! Vote yes, please!

We can hardly wait to have all our lined up integrations launched.

Thanks for your support.

Good luck, hope to get this proposal approved

Thanks for your support.

Voting yes, I hope you'll be able to make the integrations happen, I look forward to seeing the new merchants on discoverdash.

Yes.

Thanks greatly for your support. Expect amazing results.

unstoppable: q: what is incentive for customers to spend dash at merchants? wudn't they want to get rid of bad money (ie. naira) and hold on to good money (ie. dash)?

I and my teams are working on many ways like introducing merchants to pay their workers salary with a 15% dash and the rest in fiat.

There's already am established crypto community in Nigeria and they want to spend crypto since they earn it rather than change to fiat. They are our primary focus.

So our main focus is listing merchants on discover dash and getting users to keep dash instead of naira and lastly give incentives to dash users to spend and save dash.

Nigeria is the largest crypto community in Africa and second globally by Paxful rankings.

idea still that main focus cud be more stategic on focus on savings alternative to naira. Saw nigeria at #16 in the world on an inflation list. Also idea there cud be a strategy weakness by the main focus of listing merchants due to that consumers want to save good money, and spend bad money. And also challenge that the # of people that earn their salaries in Dash (and need places to spend it at) is very very low

q: why strategically focus on merchant + business adoption? people prefer to spend bad money first, and save good money. So incentive to spend dash is low? Thus,Q: why not instead focus strategically on promoting dash as a medium + long-term savings vehicle?

Our goal is to first list enough merchants and have big exchanges trade dash at the normal USD to naira rate before we can move to incentives to those who want to spend dash. We will be rolling out other plans such as our Consumer Focused Strategy after this one have been accomplished.

Promotion of dash as a medium of long term savings:

We have a savings account that have been created by the software development team. They have an MVP called AltSavings.com that allows Nigerians to save a part of their income in dash and they will be rewarded for doing that. The proposal will be out soon by the other team.

We also planned to introduce dash users in Nigeria with CrowdNode so that dash users can buy dash and earn a passive income with it, while saving long term also.

also q: does it seem correct that the inflation rate of nigeria is only around 11% annum per gov statistics? nathaniel: any input on this?

The NBS disclosed this in its “CPI and Inflation Report’’ for July 2018. So yes the naira is currently a bad money and people are looking for alternative means of savings which we are developing with the AltSavings application.

Thanks for your questions.

Yes from me, good luck.

Thanks greatly for your support.

Excellent proposal. I appreciate the clarity the rebrand will bring with regard to the different teams operating. The personal and corporate 'prior work' that you and your team have led are likewise very impressive. This is an obvious yes to me.

Thanks greatly for your support.

Expect amazing results.

Supported!

Seems like a regurgitation of the same information we already had.


Most of the integerations you mention apparently were on your previous proposal marked at various stages in progress

Could you kindly elaborate the difference in cost suddenly please.

Thank you

Thanks for your question.

The last proposal was for conference and business integration. This is strictly a re-brand entirely. Our target is a minimum of 4 large business integrations and 40 merchants monthly. The previous proposal was for 3 months while this is for 2 months.

We've made progress on some of the integrations and we need to have a team to conclude some others. There are several integrations in the pipeline but hardly can I do all at once, hence the need for a team.

The only reason for the difference in cost is as the projects aren't the same. They are entirely different. The previous was for conference and business integration and this is solely for Merchants and business integration

A good portion of the budget goes to payment recruitment and payment of salaries for the Business Development team.

And please Mr-Hack you will help us grow stronger if you can comment more on preproposal as i recalled that you said you will go through the preproposal but you didn't. You would have been able to get a clearer picture of the proposal.

Hope you guys can do it, however would you explain what will your methodology be to get these merchants on board and what technology do you have that will convince them to use it?

Thanks for your question.

Yes we can. We've successfully concluded some integrations and were employing new qualified staff via jobberman.com.

What is your methodology to get merchants on board?

We have very trained staffs and we will be employing more. The staffs will be speaking to merchants about the benefits of accepting dash from low fees, decentralise system, protection from fraud and protection from customers charge back, we will also let them know that they will be expanding their customers base by accepting dash. We plan to incentivise merchants who accept dash at their store.

What technology do we have?

The software development team have added a quick liquidation service for merchants with zero fees you can check that out via dashcart app and we are opening a business whatsapp account that will also assist merchants who have any issues.

How do you train your staff ?

Jobberman.com is in charge of our staff recruitment and training.

Thanks for your question.
