The Foundation of the Corporation: Dash Embassy D-A-CH UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
We have designed, built and founded a Dash Company in Germany. This is a fully legal business entity and all divisions are fully operational and running at present.
The Corporate Structure:
https://www.mindmeister.com/1023125548
The legal entity UG can be compared to a light version of the GmbH aka incorporation in the US or Ltd in the UK. This entity can be founded more easier with way lower capital to start a business. In the future we always have the possibility to transform it to a GmbH. GmbHs are more trusted in the business world, so we will think about this step and probably choose it in the next six to twelve months.
Thus we have started to show and provide an increasing Dash presence in the German speaking countries of Europe.
The Team behind:
We grew to six fully dedicated team members, who do their daily tasks via our decentralized work space using professionell business tools from Project Management and HR-Management to CRM and Support Tools. We always want to ensure maximum efficiency.

Unfortunately we have to add the German Sales Tax of 19% to these numbers, which we have to pay to the German Fiscal Authorities. Our lawyers are forcefully working on this issue with the responsible authorities.
So we are asking for 1.284,58 DASH over 3 Months:

FIRST, it is exchanged to fiat, depressing the price, the that converted fiat is sent to government and lawyers...
"German Sales Tax of 19% is included this time"
So you get all this dash treasury money and cash it out into fiat on which exchange to give to governments?
https://www.conda.eu/home/
https://www.conda.eu/en/crowdinvesting/
Dash will be available for Conda´s ICO Launch in early June and with the overall Conda-ICO platform launch in september. Everybody will be able to do crowdfunding, crowdinvesting and buy into ICO launches for small and mid-size regional companies in Europe with Dash.
Conda is a leading european crowdfunding and crowdinvesting company. This shows, that Dash is used in a lot different fields and now even to help the unbanked startup companies in europe.

DASH EMBASSY D-A-CH Q2/18 by DASH_Embassy_DACH
https://youtu.be/68Cjr3nmJ5A
They have provided me with a lot of help on our booth and made some interesting connections. From what I saw, they do a fantastic work there in Germany (and other countries in Europe). Probably this is the most organised and enthusiastic project in Europe :)
They have created interesting framework of work and materials that can be both replicated and re-used in other countries. This initiative is very unique. And at the end of a day they are Germans - solid as a rock if comes to work :).
Let me comment the cost. Yes, the cost seems to be significant, but this is the reality in Europe. Germany is not the most expensive option anyway... e.g. Switzerland would be much more expensive. If you want to make legal and legit business in Western Europe, it is connected to cost higher than any other region. However this also means that you are going to have clients, who will spend more. Think about it.
Also, hopefully this organization will serve as one of the successful examples for other regional organizations in the future. Of course, there are still things to improve, but I'm sure they will tackle those as they optimize their operations... but for that they need to keep going!
In addition to the Concept & Roadmap, we finished the Exposé that we will send to potential event locations / partnership acquisition: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m-8Y-jJMKOOyHyVtsO5AhvDk8eIElIYA/view?usp=sharing
A Service which will help us to help people with Taxes on cryptocurrencies :-)
I've met essra and he is on fire. Like all the time. His team is equally motivated.
I'll just share my (german) view of the embassy for your consideration.
TL:DR; Vote YES if you want more real world adoption. Vote NO if you want to argue about marketing proposals for the next three months.
What does the Embassy bring to the table?
-Mainstream Coverage:
Here in Germany, if you are not endorsed on the Public Medias (ARD, ZDF etc.) people don't trust you.
Google, Facebook and Twitter banned all Crypto related Advertising.
The Embassy already made it to ARD, which is a huge achievement on its own. The Embassy will keep DASH in the talks and further the recognition as a 100% legal and better payment solution.
- Legal:
It's unfortunate that a lot of time and money had to be spent on lawyers and taxes.
But this was of utmost importance, or else DASH could never get the "legal" approval from the authorities. Companies in Germany shy instantly away from anything that has only the hint of suspicion.
You think police raids are bad? When the BAFIN (tax authority) thinks you are shady, it rolls in for a deep audit every year. They will find something and immediately hold any operation, freeze all accounts (business and private) and take your inventory. Then you can fight your way through legal battles for years until you're probably left in debt to just get your stuff back.
This is not the kind of headline I want to have associated with DASH. And therefore, it was the only sensible thing to do for the Embassy.
-Merchant Adoption
As the legal groundwork is set, the push to get German merchants is on the way. With Mainstream Media coverage, the businesses will come. Essra said that they already have two requests in one week. Let them work and see what they got up their sleeve.
-Support
There's already a live chat working. A hotline will follow soon.
As confirmed by AlejandroE, DASH Help Venezuela will exchange their knowledge with the Embassy to speed up the implementation process.
Having a hotline will further build trust in DASH. Which in exchange will bring even more businesses to us.
These points and the Ambassador Network with the E-Learning Tool and the workshops will help to make the DACH Region the second DASH Country (Venezuela will be the first of course).
Last point, if you aren't sold yet:
What do you think will bring the price of DASH faster up again?
- Headlines from Germany, Austria and Switzerland about the implementation of DASH within all different types of Businesses
or
- Some Online Marketing scheme that will be blocked within the next month?
@DASH_Embassy_DACH
I am very happy that you are trying to make Germany a cryptofriendly and most importantly "dashy" country. VOTED YES.
Best Regards from Germany
AnCapitol
I have spent some time going through your previous work and it is very confusing, much like this proposal. I can't find any learning materials or videos.
Instead of focusing on so many divisions, I suggest you focus and make a success of 1 or 2. Working disjointedly like this is likely to result in inefficient utilization of funds. I would suggest you focus on one or things, scale back your ask and show good results before asking for 1000+ dash.
If someone has to point out where the bubble is, the battle is already lost.
I appreciate the enthusiasm but we must hold firm on high level of expectations of proposal owners and not go soft on them for being well intentioned but amateurish.
@Wixamlee: we received a rating of 90 from Dashwatch, so there is clarity in this project.
A live-chat bubble is usually on the right side at the bottom, but thank you for your feedback. Maybe we will need to improve the visibility. If you have further objective and constructive criticism, please let us know. Also the offer for a public live chat still exist. For example in the "Proposal Live Room" in Dash Nation Discord. I´ll be there for the next couple of hours - join me!
I hope you understand that we will not answer destructive comments or any kind of offences from now on. Here is a lot of work to do and we don´t have time for that.

Such tools can be extended later and can have a self-running effect after a short time.
Among other things, DASH ambassadors kids are being developed to make it easier for local groups to establish initial contact with local lobby groups. Especially in the german-speaking area, professional and prepared procedures are urgently needed, since people associate rather negative than good things with cryptos.
In fact this all lays the groundwork to achieve Evan´s Visions for a decentralized world in peace.
Because if a proposal comes up, I will be very critical of my votes. You are a laboratory, an experiment.
On the other hand, I remind you that as a company you have been founded with the financial resources of Dash DAO, and for legal purposes you are employees, delegates, as they are Core. And as he did in his Core day, I hope to see reports in the forum about how they are going to line up so that the "embassy" is the property of the DAO. Thanks for the effort and the proposal.
You have my support. Good luck.
Thanks for the support ;-)
I have some questions:
1)
I would like you to talk more about the area of: Integration
I think you can do things but you have to do face to face field work and I wanted to know if you have already contacted B2B or B2C with companies and how you plan to face so that Dash begins to be used in these 2 areas in the area of your influence.
2)
I suppose that through Robert Wiecko (Dash core) for living in Switzerland, you coordinate in actions with Dash Core. What synergies you plan to have that can be told in public.
3)
I am interested in the matter that you have named:
## But the idea is to create a company, that can also be used in other countries and languages by other DASH people by using our toolset (website, marketing materials, e-learning tool, ...). ##
To create a system or mechanism taking advantage of your experience so that other embassies can be created in other countries seems very interesting to me.
What plans do you have for your experience and resources can be extrapolated to other countries?
I could perhaps form a work team in my country to create an embassy if I had the resources to accelerate its implementation in the future.
Thanks for the proposal.
ad 1: Yes, face to face contact with costumers aka merchants is actually exactly what we are doing right now, which in fact is also heavy networking. The whole team is intense working on integration efforts, especially now this got ramped up heavy with our new Integration and Sales Division Leader Rafael Schultz. He worked over 10 years in the payment sector and knows all the people and companies. The very interesting thing behind that is that currently we have not rectruited a single merchant by our own, they are all coming to us by themself. For example the 2nd biggest Austrian Ticketing Company for Events wien-ticket.at wants a Dash integration and one of the biggest crowdfunding investing companies in europe CONDA too. Just to name the 2 biggest in work today. Even more merchants are coming and in fact asking for integration. Just yesterday the first small-size company in Germany request Dash integration via our website. So you can see the demand is here and now they have a real physical Dash company here, to mail, to call, to touch and to work with. That is what they want and now get from us here ^^
ad 2: Yes, we are working very tight together with Core Members like Robert Wiecko, Fernando and Bradley. This cooperation is very strong related to marketing and integration. We need Core Integration expierience in europe to offer our costumers the right solution for their used systems. So we will work out integration plans together which fit to serveral systems costumers are using. So we are in the phase of getting the informations of our merchants and then building the right solutions for them. Furhtermore we are also thinking of getting into existing payments processor systems, so that the integration for the merchants is done automatically by the processing company. But this is currently all in work with Core to design some in-house solutions.
ad 3: Yes, the model of the Dash Embassy should become a standard model of building a Dash company in any country of the world. A Dash Company which focuses on information, education and then integration. Being a physical partner for businesses in the relevant country. Our corporate structure with the 5 divisions ensures a decentralized working environment. Currently for example our team is totally spread over the three german speaking countries, but with our structure we work maximum efficient via using tools like project management tools like Meistertask, our CRM Tool and Support Tool, google calendar, discord and hangout. So we can be there physically for our merchants in a lot of places and online anyway via our website. We are also doing legal groundwork by building up a decentralized network of lawyers. Winheller in Germany and Wolf Theiss in Austria are working together and support us in any efforts and our merchants. Wolf Theiss is also strong in eastern europe and the biggest law firm in Austria. So they will also support Dash Embassies in eastern europe for example in serbia, if Dashers decide to start an Embassy there. We also translate all our materials, website and the e-learning tool into english. So you can just translate it in your local language and use it asap. No need to pay and design a toll by your own. These makes us as Dash very strong, because we work in agreed legal frameworks with legal companies over borders together. No other crypto currency will and can do that. The model of the Dash Embassy is a game changer and we encourage you to found one in your home country too. We will support you in every imaginable manner :-)
What a waste. You have not a single coherent idea on what you are offering and have establish a small monster that has to keep getting fed dash to live. You are trying to do 50 things without doing a single thing properly.
Where are the videos or clearly viewable outputs for instance?
This is among the worst proposals in this round, trying to establish an unnecessary bureaucracy full of wasteful expenditure.
I guess whatever upvotes you are getting are only because it is impossible to understand what you are trying to do.
even though we answered some of your current questions with a comment on your last post, I´ll do it again:
Taxes: we paid 30,000€ for Q1. We don´t like this, too.. that´s why our lawyers appeal against it. If we are winning in this case, it will help all Masternode and proposal owners in germany with their legal status and we will get back that money. If not, also everybody knows about the tax situation and we are acting in the correct legal frames. I think this will help Dash to go mainstream.
Meetups: we are working on a Roadshow (Embassy Events) at places like universities, co-working spaces, companies, ... through those we will recruite Ambassadors who will do Ambassadors Events on a monthly base in their town, followed by monthly Meetups. As you see calling our Education Events Meetups doesn´t hit the point.
50 Things: Yes, we are doing a lot and we are doing it well. Only in this month more than 30 articles about Dash appeared in german spreaking press/media. We are working on Dash integration with major companies from austria, we started a live-chat support on our website, we attended 3 conferences (crypto, payment, university), we are talking to regulators, we created 100 pages e-learning materials, we published an easy to understand website introducing cryptocurrencies to "regular" people, we are talking to players from the traditional payment industry and to companies from the crypto-payment-industrie,.. All this in only 3 month.. there are viewable outputs ;-)
We are trying to establish an institution for Dash in the middle of europe and because of the feedback we receive from press, merchants and "regular people" we don´t think this is unneccesary.
I think the "no"-voters and maybe also you don´t understand what we are doing, so here you go with a Dash Embassy D-A-CH in a nutshell:
Our major goal is to establish Dash as a means of payment in germany, austria and switzerland. There for we need to increase the visibility of Dash with our Marketing & PR Division (that´s what I´m doing). So far we got Dash in the media and attended Events, so this worked out well.
With our Education-Division (Lars Blohm) we will organize the above mentioned events, to educate and inform people about Dash with a scaleable event-model and find more Ambassadors for Dash.
People who are interested in Dash because of our marketing and education activities can deepen their knowledge on our website (which will have topics like tutorials, law & tax in the future) and through our e-learning content (e-learning is a future goal) and reach out to our support . The support will answer every question and if neccessary forward the request to our integration division (this is what orion is doing).
The integration division (Rafael Schultz) will help merchants to integrate Dash in their businesses.
The administration division is keeping track of all our activities and is responsable for the budget, the reporting and the legal terms.
--------
If all this doesn´t help you to understand what we are doing and how important this ist, we can offer you a public live chat or video conference, so we can answer all your questions a third time.
sincerly,
essra
You are putting your record at stake when you put requests for large amounts.
I suggest you have a hard re-think about these costs, focus on a few areas and cut out all wasteful expenditure. I will support this if you come back with ask of 100-120 dash month.
Your proposal should contain details, individual video conferences are not the way to go about this.
Sadly, Voting no till then.
This is a 100% legal operation, which has to abide german laws.
I also would love it for them to cut the extra costs, but that only get's you a visit of the police force.
If you haven't noticed, that's a free ticket to jail and will harm DASH immediately because of the easy negative press.
Do you want real world solutions? Vote YES for the D-A-CH Embassy.
Do you want fancy marketing schemes? Vote for something else.
the amount of 100 Dash per month will hardly be enough to pay for the PR agency and to cover the sallery of the ambassadors (as mentioned in our reporting video we will have 20+ in future). We created a detailed budget accounting and we are willing to explain every single number.
We are trying to deliver as much details as possible. If there is something particular missing, please ask for it and we will explain it in a PUBLIC chat/conference this time and include those details in our future reporting.
btw: have you seen our video report? I think there are a lot details, aren´t there?
We will publisch more of our current work during this week
Hopefully you are voting yes, than ;-)
You can always look into our Public Budget Planning 2018:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...6CG9uYJFv89_toOwi6BBYJ0cY/edit#gid=1144595453
You have all positions there. With 100-120 Dash at a price of 400 USD we can not even pay our long-term liabilites like our pr-agency, stuff and legal support. Please stay realistic and read the planning first ^^
We are not responsible for a tight budget this month and as you can see other proposers don´t bother. We do and have to get Dash up and running here in german speaking countries asap.
We hope for your vote Wixamlee and your support for Europe :-)
Its everybodies right to show his free opinion, but please stay objective and do not acquit our successes we have already accomplished. Furthermore you can find all information in our description above with the video, just please read it. ty
1 A large amount of money is being completely WASTED here on taxes, lawyers, insurance, hospitality costs, traveling, renting corporate offices covering your old losses..
You are trying to create a full scale euro bureaucracy here, the kind where you have to put 10 dash to get work worth 2 dash. Very unappealing prospect
2 The proposal is very poorly laid and it is hard to figure out what you are really trying to do.
3 At 428 dash/months for three months, this forces us to lose 950 dash extra from next two months and not fund something better this month. I am not in favor of pre-allocating next months budgets to these bottomless expenses.
In any case the whole budget is getting full not just for this month but for the next months too..
I suggest you trim down all these wasteful expenditures and come back later with a 500 dash proposal in total costs spread over three months because that is the worth of this project to the network.
But here again:
It´s a new kind of Dash DAO, which is acting like a professional marketing and service agency for Dash. The goal is to increase the acceptance of Dash as a means of payment. The term D-A-CH (D = Germany, A= Austria, CH = Switzerland) means, that we are acting in german speaking countries. But the idea is to create a kind of a open source company, that can also be used in other countries and languages by other DASH people by using our toolset (website, marketing materials, e-learning tool, …).
ad 1: Not a single dollar, euro or Dash has been wasted so far, which you can see in all our public available reports and on the Dash Watch Website www.dashwatch.org. We got the highest Confidence Score (90) by Dash Watch ever given to any proposal. >> Here again:

ad 2: Please watch our explanation video from the first proposal and our presentation video above. Everything is explained in detail with a detailed presentation available above to download too in the proposal description.
ad 3: If you look in our public budget planning excel you can see all positions in detail too. We are just starting cooperations with numerous partners for marketing, education and also integration. Today we just got our first integration request via our webpage. Thats awesome ^^ Merchants got reached via our massive marketing outreach in the last days, as you can see with our ARD interview and over 20 articles in german speaking press all over the DACH region. So merchants already come to us and ask for DASH Integration. Have you ever heard of somehting like that?? Isn´t that what we need here to get Dash in peoples hands in europe?? Especially as MNO you just honor that a lot.
Furthermore there will not be built any european kind of buraucracy here. We are a legal company and we have to pay lawyers, stuff etc. and form a working decentralized organisation. That costs some money and has to be done accordingly. We act in any case completely legal and correct here in europe. We give a broad support also legally to all people and merchants interested in. We are the service here for Dash and people are already using it!!!
First this excellent video interview by essra with the ARD, the biggest and well-known state-owned TV Channel:
https://www.facebook.com/boerseARD/videos/2036444736608460/
Here then here are some interesting numbers:
In the last days two articles about Dash and the Dash Embassy D-A-CH appeared on three German news sites. ARD (the biggest state-owned media in Germany), Handelsblatt (the biggest daily financial newspaper in Germany) and WirtschaftsWoche (the biggest weekly financial newspaper in Germany). To set this sites into perspective: Their Alexa Rankings for Germany are 217, 283 and 793 (worldwide: 5365, 6797, 18510).
Here are the three links:
https://boerse.ard.de/anlageformen/kryptowaehrungen/ist-dash-die-bessere-kryptowaehrung100.html
http://app.handelsblatt.com/finanzen/rohstoffe-devisen/bitcoin-cash-konkurrent-kryptowaehrung-dash-eroeffnet-repraesentanz-in-deutschland/21099978.html
http://www.wiwo.de/finanzen/boerse/bitcoin-cash-konkurrent-kryptowaehrung-dash-eroeffnet-repraesentanz-in-deutschland/21099996.html
Furthermore the foundation of the Dash Embassy D-A-CH UG got published on over 14 financial online Websites/Magazines in the german speaking region.
So currently we are reaching out to Millions of German speaking people interested in crypto-currencies. We will keep this efforts up and running with the funding ^^
What I *do* want, though, is you voting yes on this proposal because you'll have a hard time finding another team of pros like these guys. They are busting their asses to push Dash forward in the DACH region and I'm speaking of first hand experience. They are in constant communication with major movers and shakers within the finance and commerce industry and it's amazing to see them network. I'm wildly impressed by their skills and the network definitely go more than its money's worth through their work.
Information (for users and merchants), education, integration, support, workshops.... This project aims to become a one-stop-shop for all you need to get started with Dash. With the necessary funding they'll not only achieve major adoption of Dash in this specific region (Austria is going to be riddled with Dash if everything goes according to plan!): They'll also be able to provide the community with a blueprint to replicate this model in other countries, because if Dash can make it in a place like Germany, it can make it anywhere.
The report they've posted on YouTube and their co-operation with DashWatch speak for themself. How many proposal owners provide you with such in-depth info?
