Proposal description
Goal : Incentivise payment providers to increase payment volume from their customers by offering a contest prize.
The idea is to push payment providers to increase their transaction volume. In order for them to do this they will need to push their existing customers to trade more and on-board new customers. I will help them engage there customers about using Dash more (help them market to their audience). Its easier to grow more business from existing customers than getting brand new customers.

Timeframe
This project will run for 2.25 months. First month gathering data, creating marketing material. reaching out to talk to payment vendors to let them know there is a contest and what the details are. Second month conducting the contest (Month of February) and first week of March awards presentation and final data compilations.
January

Working with payment providers to engage their audience to sue more Dash
Collecting transaction Data and providing updates

I addition you would need some kind of "advertising expenses subsidy" for each participant.
Second, who cares about percentage growth? If I grow from $0 to $1, my growth rate is infinite! But that does nothing to move the needle for Dash. And almost by definition, this category would be won by merchants that don't have volume.
Third, how do you verify volume growth? Merchants aren't going to give you access to their systems, and then you are dependent on them being honest with you. If he worked with an altcoin payment processor, though, the winners could be certified by the payment processor.
In short, this seems a suboptimal way to promote adoption and is not well conceived.
In response, is anyone working with coinpayments or other alt coin payment processors to foster and grow those relationships? My proposal seeks to work with all Dash payment processors and increase those retail and other relationships. It is my intention to engage these types of customers directly as they do have the audience as you have rightly mentioned.
You second point, lists the outlier example of infinite growth. If 100 merchants increase volume by 1 from 0 there are 100 new people using Dash that otherwise wouldn't. Who knows how much these ne relationships will grow afterwards. I dont expect to move the Dash needle in 2 months but step by step volumes should grow.
Third is a good point. How do I verify growth? This is a key metric of success. I lok to the dash community to point me in the right direction as I don't actually know how.
The idea of the contest is to help existing customers grow there existing volume with a dash reward incentive.
I do appreciate the feedback. With 70 no's your comments are invaluable.
Happy to get on a call and discuss further with you or any others who wish.
