Welcome!

Thanks for the privilege of submitting this proposal. I need to emphasize once again that my sole purpose as a DASH investor myself is to continue to promote DASH and be a pathfinder for user's and consumers of DASH. Our experience so far is that nothing gets people more interested in DASH than having a DASH wallet. Having a wallet with $10 signup bonus inspires people to become consumers and seek answers to their questions about digital currency and starts them down the path way of trying to understand how to make DASH a part of their future life as consumers.

This proposal has three elements, two involve projects that I have started and funded thus far however, we think for them to grow additional investment from DASH is necessary. Three weeks ago I decided to leave my home base of Austin/Nacogdoches Texas to promote DASH in areas that I have lived in the past few years.  My purpose was to demonstrate my commitment to Dash and reconnect with contacts that I had relationships with through my investment in Bitcoin and find new DASH users. In the past 3 weeks I have had over 300 discussions about DASH in 4 different states and how it is superior to bitcoin.

Project 1- East Texas Dash Meetup Club - We have started a base group of 15 digital currency enthusiasts with a diverse demographic. Realtors, Chamber of Commerce, finance and students we also have our headquarters at a popular Vapor Shop. The owner has done a great job of creating a positive atmosphere  where you can buy DASH at his store. All customers receive pamphlets on DASH with their purchases and 15% off when they pay with DASH. Our purpose with this part of our marketing is to get more new people to use DASH wallets and to introduce the concept of digital currency. Many members of our group are starting discussions in our community and we are working to get a DASH article in the newspaper at Stephen F. Austin State University, which has a computer programming class that is willing to collaborate with us subject to the funding of this proposal.

Project 2- Start a Santa Barbara, CA Dash Meetup Club - My former Realtor and Bitcoin holder, Mark D. Martinez, wants to become a DASH Ambassador. I believe he will do a great job to increase the DASH presence in this area of the California Central Coast . I've also had discussions with other contacts in this area who can help him.  Santa Barbara is a hub for investors. He has already started discussions with clients and friends about digital currency and the fact that he has owned Bitcoin since 2012 and was the host for my Bitcoin mining machines during this time period shows his dedication. He is also willing to do the same tasks that we have done in the East Texas Dash Meetup Club by hosting the DASH meetup group in his office, look for users and consumers through signup bonus, investors, a host for a DASH ATM's and work to collaborate with various organizations and institutions throughout this community with the assistance of the DASH marketing funds.

Project 3 - Dash For The Win! Which is the main project I focus on a daily basis using the balance of the funds to continue to get wallets set up by using the signup bonus, new proposals created and to expand our ecosystem. Tasks include social media presence, flyer distribution, banner placements for promotions, DASH t-shirts and other merchandise, our experience is that nothing gets people more interested in DASH than having a DASH wallet with a signup bonus and watching it grow. I think we have been very effective and we have more work to do spanning the globe! 

Here is some of the actions I have completed with the 30 DASH funded to me I believe that Dash growth is partly dependent on getting more people to install DASH wallets and this helps inspire more consumers to research and understand how to become users of DASH.

The goal is to grow our ecosystem and we feel that we continue to prove our commitment to DASH and that our marketing strategies are successful at bringing in new DASH wallet users, consumers and expanding the dialogue about digital currency. I think the return of investment will far exceed the 55 DASH requested in this proposal.
