Proposal description
1- Who we are
Dash Iran is a group of blockchain and crypto enthusiasts with lots of experiences in these fields. We got interested in Dash about 2 years ago and found Dash to be a great solution for multiple issues we face in Iran, such as inflation and isolated economy. Also international payment methods like Paypal and Master card are out of service in Iran. We came up with a plan about 3 months ago and stated our vision to make Dash as the most widespread cryptocurrency in Iran.
These are Dash Iran main team members:

2- What Dash Iran has achieved so far
This is Dash Iran's second proposal.Dash Iran was started in May 2019, with the vision to promote Dash among Iranians and making it as the most widespread cryptocurrency in Iran. Although the first proposal couldn’t pass due to the DAO’s low budget, we received about half of the requested budget (about 25 Dash) from the kind community. This is what we’ve done so far:1- Exchange
After negotiating with AbanTether, an Iraninan fiat/crypto exchange, they now support buying and selling of Dash. Iranians can call Abantether’s number or send a text to their Telegram account to easily buy Dash with their Rials.

Costs: 3 Dash
2- Dash Panel in IBSS
Iran Blockchain Summer School is the largest blockchain event in Iran and is sponsored by many Iraninan technology companies. It is a one week event on learning and developing blockchain networks and business development on blockchain and cryptocurrencies. We could convince the event’s organizers toَ allocate a complete session on Dash and its unique features. Mayhar Daneshpajouh, our technical manager will be the panelist of that session on Aug 26.

We got funded with a 1 Dash from dashforce for this meetup.
4- Educational Videos
Dash Iran provided 4 videos (about 35 minutes) in Persian, two being about buying and selling Dash from an Iranian online exchange (https://wallex.market/) and two others about using Coinomi wallet for sending and receiving Dash both on Android and Windows.

7- Local Tour Leader in Isfahan
HamidReza AllahDadi, a local tour leader who has about 2 and a half year of experience in tour leading foreign tourists in the Isfahan province, who is also very passionate about cryptocurrencies, joined Dash Iran as is going to help us in the future. He already started negotiating with some hostels in Isfahan to accept Dash from tourists.
Costs: 3 Dash
We also spent 5 Dash for fee submission of our second proposal. It left us with a 10 Dash amount which we plan to use in the next round. You can find this 10 Dash in the address bellow:
Donation Dash Address: XoWc7GD8dbUPbfGT5jDS5s27rzL6EeqMHb
3- What this proposal aims to achieve
We specified our mission to be promoting Dash among people, businesses and the IT community.
In this new proposal we will cover some parts of each step with a focus on businesses that want to use Dash but right now don't have the basic tools or knowledge for that.
The rest of the proposal contains the deliverables we planned toward our goals in different sections, the section's manager and executors and also the estimated budget needed for each in Iranian Rial.
4- Business
4-1
5 Exchanges
In the first step we want to negotiate with 5 main exchanges in Iran to use Dash in their trading. We want to make it possible to convert Rial to Dash and vice versa. Also it is possible to convert other digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum to Dash. These five exchanges include:
Nobitex (https://nobitex.market/)
Exir (https://www.exir.io/)
OK-ex (https://www.ok-ex.co)
Wallex (https://wallex.market)
BidArz (https://www.bidarz.ir)
This exchanges will be leveraged to make it easy for the merchants and customers to
use Dash for their payments.
Manager: HaniehSaeeYekta
Executors: HaniehSaeeYekta, Mahdi Darabi
Costs: 200,000,000 Rials (for negotiating)
4-2
45 Merchants
The most important problem of the Iran inbound tourists is the dysfunctionality of international credit cards like Paypal, Mastercard, visa, etc. Hence, tourists are forced to carry cash to do online purchases, reserving hotels or hostels, food, etc.
We in Dash Iran, intend to lobby with several merchants like tours, hotels and hostels, handicraft shops and restaurants so that they accept Dash in addition to fiat currency. On the other hand, according to volatility of the cryptocurrency market, the merchants prefer to exchange their cryptocurrency to fiat, so in this case the exchanges have an important role. In the scope of this proposal, we will concentrate on 45 merchants in the Isfahan province. During two months we will persuade and teach them the using of Dash wallets and the way in which we intend to change that to Rial in exchanges (will be explained in the following section) so it will be in complete ease for them to accept Dash. They will be added to discoverdash.com website and Dash Iran's own website as well.

Executors: SeyedMoein Ghayumi, HamidReza Allahdadi (PR)
Costs: 100,000,000 Rials (for commuting) + 160,000,000 Rials (for accommodation) + 160,000,000 Rials (for negotiating with merchants)
4-3 Interface between exchanges and merchants
We intend to develop an API to provide a better connection between Merchants and Exchanges. Merchants who accept Dash are divided into 3 categories:
§ A group of merchants have Dash wallet and they want to save Dash. So, they don't have any specific problems. We just educate them about Dash wallets and security issues.
§ Some merchants are reluctant to accept the risk of keeping cryptocurrency due to market volatility. For this reason, we have to make it easy for them to convert Dash to Rial through exchanges. When merchants convert their Dash to Rial, the exchange does not settle the merchant account at the same time, and usually the settlement is carried out at the end of the day. In addition, when merchants receive money through electronic payments in Iran, they are sent an SMS containing the date and the amount of money sent to them, so they are kind of used to this and they may get worried if they don't have access to their account at that particular moment. For these reasons, we want to notify merchants with an SMS at the time that exchanges convert Dash into Rial, containing the date and the amount of Rial that is deposited by the customers to the merchant's exchange accounts so that they ensure the Rial conversion is done for them.
§ For businesses that have online purchases, a Dash payment gateway is provided by our team.
Manager: Mahyar Daneshpajouh

Costs: 260,000,000 Rials (for development) + 50,000,000 Rials (for server)+ 20,000,000 Rials (for SMS service)
5- Events
In our previous activities we could take a session for Dash in the IBSS event (described in 2-2 section), in which MahyarDaneshpajouh, our technical manager, is going to have a talk on Dash and its unique features like instant payment, private send and also its DAO system. We also held a Dash meeting.
As a following program, we plan to have a regular meetup plan, which is welcomed for everyone and is held every month, both in Tehran and Isfahan (our target city for merchants).
Manager: Mahdi Darabi
Executors: Mahyar Daneshpajouh (lecturer atIBSS), Mahdi Darabi (Tehran events), MohammadReza AhmadiPour (Isfahan events)
Costs: 120,000,000 Rials (for 4 meetups)
6- Social Media
We aim to use our Telegram, Apparat and Youtube channels and also twitter and Instagram pages for educating Persians about cryptocurrencies and Dash through content creation. They will be used for event announcements as well. We hope all Persian speakers will find these contents useful and informative.
We plan to post in these media regularly, about four posts and one video every two weeks.
Manager: Zeynab Khani
Executors: Mahyar Daneshpajuh (for technical videos), a professional content creator (for social media)
Costs: 100,000,000 Rials (for videos) + 80,000,000 Rials (for content creation)
7- Website
We already developed a plain website for Dash Iran and want to improve it in this round. Our blog will be a great source for Persians to get new updates since we plan to translate dash.org blogs. Beside using discoverdash.com for listing Iranian merchants, a new page is going to be added to our website, which works basically like dicoverdash.com, but is in Persian.

All the activities that are done so far by our team have become possible with the donation we got in the previous cycle.
If we get enough votes in this cycle, we will continue promoting Dash with the purpose to make it the most used cryptocurrency in the Isfahan province, which is a very attractive tourist destination, starting from Varzaneh in Isfahan. We strongly think that this could be a good start point to the introduction of Dash to its mass adaption for all over Iran. As we said before, we'll negotiate with Iranian exchanges at the same time to enable the changes of Dash to Rial and vice versa.
In this video, Mr. Ali Bagheri introduced himself. We will add the English subtitle to it for the next few hours.

So far we have negotiated with AbanTether. Once we get enough votes in this period, we'll continue our negotiations with the rest of the exchanges.
Mr. Shahbaz is the manager of traditional accommodation in Varzaneh. After the introduction of Dash by Hammid Reza, he welcomed Dash very much. Then he installed Dash wallet and Hammid Reza gave him 0.01 Dash for a gift. In this Farsi video, Mr. Shahbaz has introduced himself. We will add the English subtitle for it.

I am very happy to describe our most important job in the Dash Iran's new proposal.
In this proposal, we want to convince tourists and merchants to use Dash in their transactions.
We decided to start this work in two parts of Iran: Varzaneh in the Isfahan province and the Mazandaran province.
Hamid Reza AllahDadi, a local tour leader who has about 2 and a half years of experience in tour leading foreign tourists in the Isfahan province, who is also very passionate about cryptocurrencies, joined Dash Iran and is going to help us in the future. He already started negotiating with some hostels in Varzaneh in the Isfahan province to accept Dash from tourists.

IBSS(Iran Blockchain Summer School) is the first summer school for the blockchain in Iran. It is being held in partnership with the Sharif Blockchain Laboratory and Aryahamrah Samaneh Co. with the accelerator arm of Sharif University of Technology (SATAK). Almost all blockchain communities in Iran are attending in this summer school. It is a one-week event on learning and developing blockchain networks and business development on blockchain and cryptocurrencies. So this is a good opportunity for digital currency researchers and investors. We could convince the event’s organizers to allocate a complete session on Dash and they added the Dash Iran logo to their website. Mayhar Daneshpajouh, our technical manager will be the panelist of that session on Aug 26.
