Proposal description
Dear Dash Community and MNO's, we are very pleased to present you our next proposal for DASH TEXT. The very first and only SMS wallet service exclusively for Dash. We are very excited cause since we did the official launch on Nov 1st 2018, we have created over 1000 wallets and aprox 40 crypto news site posted the launch (Investing.com, Bitcoin.com, Ethereumworldnews.com, etc), reaching over 10 million people. This is a document with all the articles of the launch https://goo.gl/WRJgGh
This is a video where we show a summary of our work during the last 3 months and our plans for the future.
One of the most incredible and useful new features of Dash Text, the POS integration, check it out in this teaser video:
1) STRATEGY FOR ADOPTION:
As we have stated in the past, we have built a strategy for the massive adoption of Dash in Venezuela. It consists of 3 stages that must be followed to increase the probability of success. The stages are following:
a- Merchant adoption: We must have the merchants first in order to people can be able to spend their Dash.
b- Get Dash into people hands: Once we have the merchants now is time to fill the economy with Dash, in that way people will have Dash and they will also have options to spend it (merchants affiliated in Stage 1). The best ways to bring Dash into the economy is throught Remittances, Freelancing and Mining. We are working in a remittances project for this.
c- Incentivizing the consumption: At the same time we affiliate merchants and we bring Dash into Venezuela, we have to give people good reasons to spend that Dash rather than exchange it to Bolivares. We can achieve this using discounts, special promotions, Dash Back, loyalty programs.
THIS PROPOSAL IS FOCUSED IN THE 2ND STAGE OF THE STRATEGY FOR ADOPTION: GET DASH INTO PEOPLE HANDS. WITH THE INTEGRATION OF DASH TEXT INTO WHATSAPP AND TELEGRAM, VENEZUELAN LIVING OVERSEAS (AND PEOPLE IN GENERAL) WILL BE ABLE TO SEND DASH TO THEIR FAMILIES IN VENEZUELA BY JUST TYPING THE PHONE NUMBER
2) WHAT WE HAVE DONE?
2.1) Activation of our shortcode (2030) in all the Venezuelan carriers: Movistar, Movilnet and Digitel. This was the most difficult part and the one that took the longest time to have, but we finally got it and now we are open to the 100% of the country. The number of Dash Text in Venezuela is 2030
2.2) Official launch of Dash Text - Nov 1st, 2018. We had exactly 1 month of delay for the launch due to the activation of the shortcodes in the carriers mentioned above, but we finally did the official launch and over 40 crypto news site covered the new, reaching up to 10 million people (a lot of sites stated that the launch of Dash Text was directly related to the 15% rise of the Dash price)
2.3) DashText.io website ready. In our website anyone can learn how to use Dash Text, there are all the commands, instructions and FAQs.
2.4) Integration with Dash Help. Dash Help is the official support center of many Dash projects, and Dash Text is not the exception. So we did the integration of the Dash Help livechat in the Dash Text site, in that way anyone can have live support from our agents, learn even faster how to use the system and solve any kind of issues very quick.
2.5) 1000 wallets created! It has been only couple of weeks (14 days) after the launch and we already created over 1000 wallets on Dash Text (without a big promotion yet). We have heard and read from people that creating and using a Dash Text wallet is even more easier than using a regular wallet, the only thing you need to do is send a SMS to the number 2030 and that's it, no internet required, no downloads and no smartphone required neither.
3) WHAT'S NEXT?
3.1) Integration with the Dash Merchant/QR.CR POS system. We are working in the integration of Dash Text in our POS system and Payment Processor. Now anyone will be able to pay in the Dash Merchant POS system and web Payment Processor just with a simple command called "Compra" which means Purchase in spanish, seamlessly getting the information for the payment and confirming with a simple yes! (Check the video above! Or check this link to see how it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keXxT_PvTe0&t=3s)
3.2) Whatsapp and Telegram integration for Remittances. Dash Text's ease of use and simplicity makes it the perfect solution for Venezuelans overseas to send remittances back home, to do so, we will enable Dash Text functionality in both Whatsapp and Telegram, which are the biggest chatting platforms Venezuelans use, this way, Venezuelans in any country in the world nwill be able to send Dash easily back to their family and friends in Venezuela.
3.3) SMS shortcodes activation in Africa and South American countries. Besides the Whatsapp and Telegram integration we will start working on getting the SMS functionality activated in other countries like Colombia and in Africa, so Dash Text can be used by anyone around the world.
3.4) Marketing work. We will keep promoting the Dash brand and all its solution like Dash Help, Dash Merchant and now Dash Text. As said above, people is saying that using Dash Text is even easier than using a regular wallet, and this is the way we will promote it. The goal of Dash Text wallets by the end of 2018 is 10,000.
4) BUDGET

*****FRAUD ALERT - DASH MERCHANT VENEZUELA EMBEZZLING FUNDS FROM THE DAO******
Dashwatch report here:
http://bit.ly/DMVFinancialReview
----- DEFUND NOW! ONLY TWO DAYS TO GO -----
LORENZO REY AND ALEJANDRO E ARE SCAMMERS AND CONMEN.
DEAR MNO COMMUNITY - PLEASE READ THE LATEST REPORT FROM DASHWATCH - DASH MERCHANT VENEZUELA WAS SET UP TO DEFRAUD THE DAO AND HAS EMBEZZLED AND STOLEN/MISAPPROPRIATED OVER 64,000 USD OF PROPOSAL FUNDS TO DATE.
THEY RECENTLY ATTEMPTED TO DECEIVE DASHWATCH BY PROVIDING DOCTORED RECEIPTS WHICH THEY PROVIDED AFTER THEY WERE QUERIED ON THEIR FINANCIALS THAT SHOWED MAJOR DISCREPANCIES (AND THESE NUMBERS WERE FOUND TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY MADE UP). THEY ALSO HAVE ADMITTED TO THE FRAUD TO DASHWATCH - THIS TEAM, THEREFORE BOTH LORENZO REY AND ALEJANDRO ARE CONMEN AND LIARS, AND HAVE BEEN DEFRAUDING THE DAO.
PLEASE READ THE REPORT AND DEFUND THIS FRAUDULENT PROPOSAL. THE REPORT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
--------
TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT WERE FOOLED BY THIS PROPOSAL AND TEAM - IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT, THIS WAS A SOPHISTICATED CON, THEY USED TECHNICAL MEANS TO ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE DASHWATCH, AND WERE ONLY FOUND OUT BECAUSE OF THEIR PERSISTENCE. THEY POSTED UP HOPIUM VIDEOS THAT COST VERY LITTLE TO PRODUCE, AND WERE FABRICATED AS A CONFIDENCE TRICK IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS A LONG-TERM CON. THIS IS LIKELY NOT THE ONLY DAO PROJECT THAT IS FRAUDULENT, PLEASE READ DASHWATCH REPORTS AND INSIST ON ACCOUNTABILITY OF PROPOSALS.
---------
Thank you,
Drako

That the DAO continues to give funds to those that scam and embezzle (ie Lorenzo Rey and Alejandro) would be the laughable thing, especially since they were just days ago busted for it, if it wasn't so bloody sad. Wake up MNO's - stop giving the scammers more money!
Thanks,
Drako

My First question is this, wouldn't the addition, of What-app and telegram increase the difficulty in terms of use ? and how safe is it for what-app and telegram ? do they have the same projection against scams ?
Don't get me wrong I like Dash text but I am yet 100% sure expanding Dash text to various other platforms, despicably seen that Dash text is aimed at users that do not have smartphones. Whatapp en telegram only work on smartphones as far as I know.
Second question:
Is there an website with an overview of all the possible functions that can be done by users ?
Both the functions and the user-processes would be interesting to take a look at.
Such as increasing the funds of their dash text wallet
Showing the balance of their wallet
All the details about the use of Dash Text are in the instructions section of our website www.dashtext.io, it is currently in spanish only, and also in our social media channels @DashText (IG) and @Dash_Text (TW), where we consistently talk about the features and how to use the service.
Regarding the question about Whatsapp and Telegram. Dash Text is of course a wonderful tool that brings the ability to use Dash to people without smartphones, and that was the main reason why it was conceived. However Dash Text is also the easiest way to get anyone into Dash, you can easily tip someone without them having to download anything, and when they get the money they're always impressed and want to learn more. So we don't really want to confine Dash Text as a feature-phone service only, it is open to anyone with any kind of phone. We are planning to expand the SMS service to other countries, but that is a slow process that has to be worked out country by country. We didn't wanna have to wait so long to provide this service to more people, one of the big challenges at present time is getting Dash into people's hands in Venezuela, and remittances is one of the most important ways to do so, so the motivation behind the Whatsapp and Telegram integrations is to get Venezuelans living overseas (who mostly have smartphones) to be able to get into Dash quick, and be able to send Dash to their families in Venezuela though Dash Text. We understand that it could be confusing to some people, and we're going to be very careful in the way we communicate this so that people understand everything clearly, it is a challenge for us and we are excited to see how it all plays out and hopefully get many Venezuelans abroad to send remittances back home easily.
Thanks again for your support and for asking good questions, I'll be happy to answer any further inquiries.

When you receive Dash via whatsapp, or telegram, can you can choose via with methode you wish send it ? so for example you get dash via whatapp, but internet is not working, so now you pay via sms ? or are there limitations ?
At anyrate as long as you cautious with with features your adding, you'll have my yes votes
If you use a different number for Telegram for example, then you would have a separate dash text wallet tied to that number, but it will work with SMS if you use that number for SMS.
We will be cautious with this of course, and will be releasing details in a few weeks.
