Proposal description
INTRODUCTION
Having successfully completed a three month roadshow in Ghana, covering three regions (Northern region, Upper West region and Central region) from the month of October to December 2017, I
am submitting the second phase of the proposal to cover the next three regions of the country namely; Brong Ahafo region, Ashanti Region and Greater Accra region.
Completion of phase 1 article by Dashforce: https://www.dashforcenews.com/dash-funds-nationwide-outreach-entrepreneurship-education-ghana[/url]
DESCRIPTION
First of all, I say thank you to the good members of this noble community for having funded and assisted me in diverse ways in making the first phase of this project successful, I say a big
thank you to all in my native language; “mpagya”. Though the first phase of this project has been successful, some interesting observations has been made during and after events of the first phase of this project. These observations have better informed me on how best to get Dash to the masses in Ghana through this
project. Some of the observations made were:
Tertiary students (universities and polytechnics) form a major part of the public adapting and using Dash. This is
because of the continuous increase of graduate unemployment in the country giving students the urge to leverage available opportunities against the web of unemployment hence students take keen interest in speculative returns in Dash towards accumulating capital to start businesses after school. Also, students are able to make further research about Dash on their own that helps them make decisions in their best interest regarding either in speculating for future profits, savings on transactions with Dash or undertaking Dash base projects.
Secondly, about 95% of Ghanaians react to information from mainstream media. This is because Ghanaians believe that information from mainstream media houses such as Joynews, Peace FM, luv FM, TV3 and GhOne is reliable and trustworthy. This second phase of the roadshow is therefore targeting tertiary students and the general public via mainstream media discussions and publications (sponsored ads).
WHY TERTIARY STUDENTS AND HOW?
In developing economies like Ghana,tertiary students are more than twice likely to complete school without a job.
For this reason most tertiary students seek financial inclusion whiles in school and though no cryptocurrency is supposed to be promoted as an investment for future returns because of the risk involve, however, as a financial derivative, Dash is worth speculating. Evidence to phase one of this project, my first meetup which was for 50 participants ended up recording over 200 participants and about 75% of the participants was students, this was because the meetup was held to a town near a university. Most of these students speculated in Dash as at the time when Dash was at 300 USD/1 and when prices went around 1000-1300 USD, a lot of them testified they made good returns and could start personal businesses.Moreover, students are able to research further on their own about a coin and its features to make informed decisions regarding usage of the coin which reduces tensions among Dash users in times of market swings.Lastly, most students in Ghana are involved in mini-importation such as smart phones, laptops and accessories. Most of these students have over the years resorted to Bitcoin for online shopping however, Bitcoin transaction fee and confirmation time have most of them seeking better alternatives as bank payments is a very expensive process. This second phase of the roadshow seek to present Dash to students as a better alternative means of online payments, for speculation to raise future capital and as a better means of receiving remittance from family and friends abroad. This shall be done through organizing major conferences of not less than 300 participants each across the top three tertiary institutions in Ghana (Sunyani polytechnic, Kwame Nkrumah University for Science and Technology and the University of Ghana, Legon).
HOWWILL THIS BE DONE?
The above mentioned schools shall be served with letters in the name of my Think tank organization (CLE GHANA which is now a partner to the ATLASNETWORK) for formal announcement of these conferences from lecture halls to campus media to Halls of residence and to officially inform school authorities about these conferences and since most students turn out for formal campus events with school authorities awareness, I
shall meet my targets.
WHY MAINSTREAM MEDIA?
As I have mentioned above, Ghanaians react positively to information from mainstream media than local media houses. After successfully completing the first phase of this project, I visited the Brong Ahafo region for a radio show on moonlite fm, one of the top radio stations in the region, responses from the people of the region through the show proved that mainstream media could promote Dash more than just meetups. I have therefore identified the top three TV and Radio stations in the country respectively to discuss Dash during this phase of the roadshow. All the media stations identified (TV and Radio) are all multimedia stations therefore all other stations in the country shall pick whatever discussions on these stations and reproduce to their audience. The selected mainstream media stations for this project are: GhOne TV, TV3, Joynews TV, Peacefm, Moonlitefm and Luvfm and
discussions shall be in English language and “Twi”, a major Ghanaian language spoken across all regions. We shall appear on one radio and TV station each a month throughout this project.
TARGET AUDIENCE FOR THIS PHASE
This phase of the roadshow shall reach out to a total of 900 tertiary students (undergraduates and postgraduates) across the University of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and Sunyani Polytechnic. However considering the high population of these institutions as the top tertiary institutions of the country, the conferences shall be open to more participants if need be just like the first meetup which was supposed to host 50 but ended up with about 200. The roadshow shall also reach out to about 95% of the 17,449,819 economically
active population of the country through mainstream media. https://imgur.com/KLI1VVO
BUDGET
Transport to and within Brong Ahafo region (Sunyani) for one month $541.00
1hour discussion on moonlitefm $350.00
Transport to and within Greater Accra region for one month $700.00
30 minutes Discussion on peacefm (multimedia) $1425.00
Transportation to and within Ashanti region (Kumasi) for one month $650.00
30 minutes discussion on Luv FM Kumasi (multimedia) $1100.00 Accommodation and feeding for a month in a region $1120.00
Dash T-shirts for conference attendees in a region $790.00
Conference room rent in a region $800.00
Refreshment of attendees of each conference in a region $500.00
One TV discussion on dash each month (GhOne TV, TV3 and Joynews TV) $2300.00 Dash Roadshow banners, stickers and fliers $400.00
Cameraman for pictures andvideo $400.00
Sub-total $10,076.00
Contingency (9%) $1,005.84 TOTAL $12,082.84
Reward for team and supportingorganizers/tips 1 DASH
BUDGET AMOUNT RESQUESTED: At the current Dash price at 583USD and with a plus 20% margin of possible price increase (700 USD/DASH), I am asking for 20 Dash per month for three months to make this project a success.
NOTE: The 20 Dash include 5 Dash proposal fee and 1 Dash reward/tips for team and
supporting organizers.
BUDGET JUSTIFICATION
Some elements of the budget such as transportation,accommodation and feeding and conference halls rent have been adjusted against previous proposal budget due to distance and high cost of living in the above regions
compared to the previous three regions covered during the first phase of this project.The cost of media discussion has gone more than double of the previous price because the selected media houses for this phase are the top
media stations in the country and have the largest reach countrywide and even internationally (Joynews). These media stations are all multimedia stations and all other local media stations picks information from them to their listeners. These multimedia stations equally offer free one month sponsored ad news item for every discussion held especially in their morning shows which I want our roadshow discussions to be.
It will interest you to know that it cost about 1,200 USD to run a one month sponsored ad item on a multimedia platform in Ghana such as www.myjoyonline.com
AFTER CREATING INTEREST IN DASH, HOW DOES THE AUDIENCE ACQUIRE DASH
Having created demand for dash in the first phase of this project, a place to buy/sell dash in Ghana became a major challenge. The only way people bought dash is/was either from me and my team or first get Bitcoin
to exchange for Dash from exchanges. This raise questions such as why don’t I just buy and keep/use Bitcoin? Why is dash not traded on any local p2p exchange? How does one dodge Bitcoin transaction fee and confirmation time if he/she has to get Bitcoin from a local exchange before getting Dash? For the above concerns and many more, me and my partner on the ground have created a local p2p exchange where Ghanaians can buy/sell Dash directly and make or receive payments in fiat through mobile money or bank depending on the customer’s choice. The exchange is www.uniquecoin.net and though we have to make some little editing, you can check us out and we should be live in a few days/week. Nonetheless, as a highly motivated Dash
evangelist, I still look forward to major developments around creating platforms for dash patronage and usability in the country that will include those who might be skeptical about trusting an online trading platform.
HOW IS THIS EXCHANGE FUNDED/LIQUIDITY?
Me and my partner have personally financed all developments of the exchange till date. We look forward to creating liquidity (Dash) on the site via funding for this proposal from the treasury. We shall have the 20 Dash from this proposal loaded every month to the exchange for people to have access to buying DASH, though this might not be enough on a monthly bases considering the increase interest of Ghanaians in the coin, we believe that as an exchange platform, we will have the public selling Dash to us as well which should keep us balance on liquidity.
This project shall commence with personal funds and continue funding from proceeds of the sale of its funds from the treasury (20 Dash) via our exchange. This is to make sure that we do not just promote Dash but we
create usability at every stage on the progress ladder. Our exchange therefore shall run 24/7 creating lots of users for our platform for future returns. I shall personally become ‘the first’ cryptocurrency enthusiast known publicly by all age groups of Ghana through the leading TV and Radio Dash discussions nationwide, and Dash will become the first cryptocurrency to go viral in Ghana through this leading multimedia houses especially the TV Stations coupled with major conferences in the top universities of Ghana. Hence it become a win win win situation for me and my partner, myself and Dash Digital Cash. thank you and i look forward to the entire community participation in this roadshow especially a guest from Dashforce to join us on one of this conferences and TV discussions.

5. GhOne TV Discussion https://goo.gl/LRaaYq
6. Angel FM Accra Dash Discussion https://goo.gl/LPFv94
The exchange; uniquecoin.net is also in full operation with people buying and selling Dash via the site. 100s of dash has passed through it since this proposal was funded. I am also trying different methods to promoting Dash in a grand style to attract people such as entertainment during events, poetry, drama etc. See video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bCAHr1HCf0.
Note: This proposal projects will be fully executed by 30/05/2018 as i still have a conference on 19/05/2018 followed by a TV and radio discussion at Ashanti region - Kumasi as stated earlier. I hope you will give me the chance to climax this roadshow with the rest of the 4 regions of Ghana.

Cheers from Dash-hub Africa
This cycle is a great one, Left with some few hours to the proposal cycle closure. I think masternode owners should give @crytolib the chance to expand the great work he is doing for Dash. this dude have got alot of track records for the network. Dash Direct, Dash projects in Ghana, Nigeria and still counting.
Africa needs more integration and projects from Dash for territorial coverage and expansion.
Stay blessed.
Voting YES.
How do I keep up with how this project is going. Photos/media/blogs etc Is there a webpage I should look at?
The proposal is for a very reasonable 20 DASH price for what it is achieving. DASH is behind Africa.
There should be no question here MNO. Voting YES!
Like DashingDude, I’m here, of my own accord, because I’ve worked with cryptolib and seen his commitment to making Dash THE solution to the various hardships faced in his homeland. IMO he is one of the hardest working people I’ve come across in the Dash DAO. I’ve witnessed his nonstop efforts, firsthand, since September of 2017, and know that he was working towards Dash adoption before I had the pleasure of meeting him. Though Cryptolib isn’t in our consciousness from day to day in the same way DFN, CATV, or ABJ are, he is working just as hard as these beloved community members, and I feel he deserves a similar level of respect and support from all of us!
I still think that in emerging African economies, explaining Dash as an extra-national and international payment and remittance method for people and businesses is more accurate than focusing on the speculative environment.
You have my support, thank you for your proposal.
For whatever reasons, there has been disruptive argument during this proposal. None of us like that.
And perhaps cryptolib should have written a better proposal, but if you know his track-record then you shouldn't really need to read the proposal anyhow.
@cryptolib lives off his Dash, and is asking the community to enable him to continue. He does Dash full-time.
He has repeatedly proven himself to be an honest man, for example by repaying loans that he has received from the community.
The work that he is doing for DashDirect is amazing! Go see the website. He does this work without receiving any funding from the treasury whatsoever.
If in doubt, please give him the benefit of the doubt. Dash has very little to lose financially if @cryptolib doesn't perform, but he will and I think that Dash can't afford to lose this man.
Slight correction please.
I plead with MNOs to vote YES on this project.
Another 3region is a good focus, I know your capabilities. This another greatness for Dash.
Cheers!
Dash-hub Africa.
I have worked with cryptolib for a while now and gave him his start through the Dash Force meetup and presentation program last year IIRC. He has always done what he says he will do and has a deep understanding of the technology.
This one is a bit more expensive than the rest but I trust him to spend the Dash wisely. If there is any left over I would hope he would agree to give that away in tips to people who set up wallets.
Voting Yes!
He is capable
Hit the streets of Ghana again with this transformational project.
Our site s being built by someone and not me personally since i don't have the know how to develop a website like this, when i realized he kept Dashcoin with the Dash symbol, i shared this on Discord with the community for advise and have told my developer to make editing so if you check well, you will see that Dash Digital Cash and Dashcoin are used interchangeably on the site which i mentioned in the proposal details that we are still doing editing on the site. Thank you very much and i assure you, we will have it fix very soon before we go live. I respect branding a lot in this market.
I have personally endorsed it
