Welcome!

                                
Here is the original Dash Texas proposal that passed 700 yes votes to 50 no votes-price drop cut funds in half-lets keep it going! WE have momentum going!
 https://www.dashcentral.org/p/Dash-Texas              



Dash Community,

I feel that the work we are doing is extremely meaningful. Dash Digital Cash has the power to change the world and I believe we are making that happen. My goal remains to raise awareness, capital and numbers to our ecosystem.

At the end of the day that's what digital currencies are striving to build-an ecosystem. 

The main focus of what I have been doing in Texas is finding trustworthy and articulate people who really care about digital currency and  understand the importance that Dash will play in the long run. People willing and able to speak on behalf of Dash and to do so gracefully. I also actively recruit people through facebook ads to attend meetups-I find this a highly effective way of getting to know people and win them over to Dash through encouraging them to attend meetups and through exposing them to Dash statistics and information once they request. The ads don't violate any potential facebook rules and are heavily focused on Dash Digital Cash. 

This proposal also has two conferences being funded- Token Fest in San Francisco and Diamond Sponsorship of the first major Blockchain Confernece in Dallas, Tx



Below are the Texas cities and people that will put Dash to the front of the line!

Dash Dallas- Farhin Ali and Richard Raizes (BCEN)

Dash-Dallas and BCEN Partnership-Dash is well represented at the most popular and active Meetup group in Dallas, run by BCEN.  The group meets weekly and often attracts 50-100 members at events.

Dash-Dallas promotes awareness and adoption of Dash at Crypto events throughout Dallas. Dash-Dallas serves the educational and business community in a professional manner, through public speaking, marketing, and grass-roots education.

BCEN (Blockchain and Crypto Education Network) is a non-profit organization that helps people learn about blockchain and cryptocurrencies through meetups and workshops. The organization strives for inclusion of those who are underrepresented in technology, including the economically disadvantaged, youth, and women.  BCEN's model is to develop a broader, duplicate model throughout the world by providing infrastructure and support to any areas that are interested.

Key People - Both active in Dash community for many months
Farhin Ali - Founder of BCEN, member IEEE, Dallas Meetup organizer
Richard Raizes (Nuancer) - Crypto fund manager, Dash investor and speaker

Richard will be responsible for tracking and managing DASH to ensure it is efficiently allocated toward the promotion of DASH throughout Dallas.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR- BCEN regularly holds 2x monthly presentation meetups which attract 50-100 attendees.

Since Dash marketing efforts have been initiated, we have held several first Dash wallet set up socials.

The last few Crypto Reports presentations have had Dash wallets set up or Dash incorporated as part of presentations on technology.

We have secured Dash a diamond sponsorship spot at Dallas's first international blockchain conference.  www.blockchain-conf.com  You can look at the sponsorship page to see Dash is a diamond sponsor. BCEN will be there doing DASH Wallet setups for all attendees who do not have Dash Wallets.

WHAT WE WANT TO DO

All live events below will include setting up First Dash Wallets ($1-5) for the community with appropriate marketing, branding, and speaking slots incorporating Dash

1) Marketing - efforts including Printed DASH Material Banners, t-shirts, stickers
2) Web presence on all meetups with DASH listed as a sponsor
3) Dash representation at 3-4 conferences in Dallas during 2018
4) University Outreach - Supporting student organizations at Southern Methodist University (SMU), UT Dallas, UT Arlington, and Collin County Community College who have all reached out to us.
5)  Business Adoption - Crypto adoption classes on the Meetup curriculum to get more businesses involved with and accepting DASH as means of payment.
6) Future ATM placement - DASH ATMs at an ice cream shop attached to TOYOTA Stadium in Downtown Frisco and at Frisco Railyards Food-Truck Concert venue.
7) DASH representation and awareness at local events that include the Arts, Football and E-sports Gaming. BCEN is supporting the Arts by supporting an event in March where we will introduce digital currency to the Frisco community which will be attended by the Mayor of Frisco and the Arts community.
8) Weekly crypto socials (Farhin is the founder of PoHH - Proof of Happy Hour a weekly event in Frisco TX home of the Dallas Cowboys)
9) Weekly Crypto education events - Blockchain 101, Mining 1 and 2, Workshops, Crypto and Taxes, Crypto Reports, Crypto and Legal, Crypto and Business.
10) Appearances on local radio shows and internationally broadcast podcasts

Dash-Houston- Jon Cohen-Dash Miner who owns Marketing Company


Jon Cohen
-BBA in Marketing and Finance-Own grassroots/guerilla marketing firm for more than 12 year.
-Past clients include: Houston Texans, United Way, Capital One Bank, Broadway Across America, The Houston Symphony, The Houston Zoo, and many more.
-Dash enthusiast, miner, trader, and lender.

Jon will make a perfect Dash Ambassador and has a great team of people we can use through his marketing team. This will be great for Dash as the Houston Meetup scenes are filled with people looking for the next coin to invest in and we are completely under represented without this proposal passing. We both got grilled on Dash at the last Houston Meetup by interested investors and Jon was able to field all questions like a champion.

Dash San Antonio-Javier Guerra of Tech Quarry and Adam Russell 




San Antonio is one of the largest cities in the United States and yet we had no representation at their growing meetups. Until we made it happen. I am happy to be going back on the 11th to do a Dash presentation and Adam will be setting up wallets and networking.

Javier is extremely connected with the tech community in San Antonio and he will bring many people to Dash if we partner with him.

Requesting 5 Dash for San Antonio-shirts, wallet setups, travel




March 15/16th Conference in San Francisco-lot of big investors there and interesting projects-will represent us professionally with a booth in a perfect location.




As for California- there are three cities I will hit through March/April repeating the same process of what has happened in Texas. First off-let me say I use to live in California so I have contacts along the coast. Last summer I also did a sweep down the coast promoting DASH from Seattle to San Diego. There are three cities I want to hit as well as the conference in San Francisco. Recruiting professional people in California will be repeated just as I have done above in Texas.

San Diego, Santa Barbara and San Francisco. (Southern California, Central Coast, Northern California)

So the Dash can be broken down in California as follows

9 Dash for San Diego
-this will put together a small team of people that can represent us in the city
-t-shirts, dash giveaways, banners, flyers




9 Dash for Santa Barbara- 
-I lived here for years and have many connections-I can really do a lot here my friends
-small team of people to represent us in the city
-t-shirts, dash giveaways, banners, flyers



14 Dash for San Francisco and Token Fest Event
-Dash Booth at Token Fest
-small team of people to represent us in the city
-t-shirts, dash giveaways, banners, flyers


To those of you wanting more specifics-ask anything. Talk to the people that have worked with me. Look at every angle and I think you will find the ROI far surpasses what I am asking. 

3 Dash for Facebook Ads- My Facebook ads that were set-up do not violate rules and I have been able to direct people to Meetups and simply tell my story of how I ended up working with Dash. I would like to run one more Texas ad campaign and two California ad campaigns focusing on the 3 cities I have mentioned above. My system works-I am connecting with people that are new to digital currency as well as those who have been around for a while and may have written off Dash.





I appreciate all of your support very much Dash Family. All the people involved in this will bring results-the proposal is designed to ensure that.

Tally all the above up and the breakdown is as follows-

Budget:

15 Dash – Dallas + Blockchain Conference
10 Dash – Houston
5 Dash – San Antonio
9 Dash – San Diego
9 Dash – Santa Barbara
14 Dash – San Francisco Meetups + Token Fest Conference
3 Dash – Facebook Ads (compliant with rules)
5 Dash – Proposal Reimbursement
70 Dash Total: 35 Dash per month for 2 months

Labor of love my friends-I consider this the most meaningful work I have done in my life. 

Sincerely,
Blake Chamness
