Proposal description

Dear Dash Community,

I've done a lot of work already to make this project happen and I feel really good about what I have accomplished. With the donations of loyal Dash members and some of my own money I was able to buy a green house and start hundreds of plants to sell and use to raise awareness for Dash. I have also hosted two disc golf tournaments where wallets were setup and Dash distributed. I will leave links to my pre-proposal, articles and podcasts I have done that have gained the project attention and allowed me to network with gardeners all over the world that are into crypto. My focus will mainly be in the US with both people inside the Dash community and outside of our community.

If you have any questions-please ask. I've been putting in proposals with the Dash Community now for over two years and feel better than ever that this proposal is right on time.

Sincerely,
Dash Farms aka Blake

By the end of spring several gardens will be started all over the US and I’m very excited about what this project has accomplished so far and I feel we are just getting started. I expect each gardener to make transactions following my model which has proven to work for me. This is about connecting people with their communities creating a connection for all things crypto. This will prove to be valuable over the next year.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and I wish you all a great day! Stay safe!

Hey thanks so much! Just got the donation-that is really cool of you.

And I feel the same way.

All good though!

I love your enthusiasm and have always voted yes though mainly because you ask small amounts. But I don't think I've ever seen your proposals pass (correct me if I'm wrong). Would this proposal even cover what you've spent on proposal fees so far?

I’ve lost quite a few and always lost in Dash Boost as well.
So-probably not.

I really appreciate you taking time to comment.

All I’ve ever wanted to “earn” doing these proposals was some free travel time and to get out and experience things.

DTF has a working revenue model, don't forget that part.

Y'all copuld still get this into funding, I don't like microproposals either, but in the absence of Dash Boost, what is Blake supposed to do? Just sit this out?

Small donation sent, my advice to you is still the same as it was in Dash Talk Discord, scale your proposal.

That part you posted in Dash Talk about giving customers their change back in Dash and then reinvesting the USD back into Dash, brilliant. Yes.

Appreciate that Agnewpickens. I’ve never seen as much interest in plants and crypto as I am seeing now-there is an uncertain feeling in most of us about where the economy is headed. Some of this may end up being overblown fears induced by media but some of it could be real. Either way people want to protect themselves from the possibilities of fiat over print and empty shelves.

Looks like the DAO has learned no lessons. This proposal doesn't even bother to lay out deliverables. I guess we are going to measure the POs effectiveness based on how good you all feel voting yes. Sad show.

Appreciate this Mike especially after I took up for you lately.
You see what you want to see-glass half empty. My work above speaks for itself and I’m just getting started.

Appreciate it so much! Positive comments and support REALLY build me up. I’ve got a greenhouse full of plants and gardens started in 3 different locations.

And I’m just getting started.

Also networking with people and will soon be able to see who is really on board and wanting to take this to the next level in their communities. Appreciate the comment and vote so much.

Over the past year or so, I've seen the discussion on many proposals revolve around ROI and it feels like many are looking for a grand slam, knock-it-out-of-the-park type of proposal, which there's nothing wrong with in of itself. But at the same time, I feel like we've lost sight of our roots a bit - aka a better money for people. What I like about what Blake is trying is that it's a true grass-roots initiative. It won't get any sort of financial return to speak of, it won't get us major headlines, but it does get *people* interested. I've always believed that building from the ground up is how we gain true loyalty. I'm going to vote yes for this proposal.

Really appreciate that! I have heard the ROI discussions as well and could have drafted up a document full of high hopes and numbers. I wanted to be honest. The truth is we need to win the people over into understanding Dash as 98% of the population are not reading articles about Dash, chainlocks, or even really crypto and certainly not in depth.

But that can change and it will change and the question will then be what project will is in touch with their community. When someone does read that crypto article and has the EUREKA! moment who will they contact about buying crypto?

The legacy systems number one thing to tout about crypto is that we are disconnected from community and merely vulture capitalists. And while there is some truth to that aspect it is the projects that we highlight moving forward that will determine the validity of that statement.

Lastly I’ll add this-connecting with one whale would make my ask feel relatively small and I COMPLETELY believe that these efforts will indeed be noticed by smart money.

Thanks so much kanuuker! To the gardens now!
