Description:
Dash Across the World -- Weekly Show Interviewing Businesses and People
Overview:
This is a 3-month pilot proposal to seek out real business owners, both conventional and unconventional, and conduct face-to-face interviews with them regarding the use of DASH and how it could be used. This is where the rubber hits the road, as it were.
This weekly show will be called 'Dash Across The World,' and the length of each show could be up to 45 minutes at max. Each episode will include a 10-minute segment called the 'Dash is Cash' challenge. I'll interview random people at random places, and challenge them to install the Dash wallet on their smartphone. Once installed, I'll send them a small amount of Dash to show them how fast and convenient it is. I will also attempt to conduct brief interview questions to gauge knowledge and interest in digital cash, privacy, and possible uses on an individual basis.
Almost 40 million Canadians gear up to legalize marijuana in 2017, and the stage is set for a massive industry to cope with a swell of privacy and banking concerns, as well as long-standing social discrimination of its use. There is no better time than now for Dash to showcase that private purchasing has a real value proposition to all peaceful societies.
Scope:
The scope of this project is not only to communicate the value of Dash to real people in real businesses, but it allows Dash developers and community to follow along and watch first-hand, how average people interact with Dash. Real-world interviews will be an invaluable feedback-loop to help eliminate or lessen the barriers to entry, while promoting Dash in creative and fun ways.
Deliverables:
1. One show per week for 12 weeks. Tuesdays, delivered to various social media channels like Youtube, and shared on Twitter.
2. Weekly frequent updates on the Dash.org proposal forum.
3. Twelve episodes in total.
Closing:
This project brings tangible benefits by taking Dash directly to the streets to find out what people and businesses have to say about how they could use it in their daily lives. This project aligns well with the purpose of the treasury. My specific aim is to increase market capitalization by focusing efforts on under-served and niche markets, businesses, and people.
Kind regards,

Also posted it to the slack channel. My first interviews are scheduled on Monday and Tuesday of next week, and then I should have Episode 1 rough-cut by January 1, if all works out okay.
I'll post the rough-cut here, if that helps the decision-making process.

It's been the general consensus that shorter is better for the target audience, so maybe I'll try to break the intro into problem/solution, respectively. I'll send you a message in Slack. :)
One day old Dash.org account.
Wants $1,500.00 per month for three months.
Has no YouTube channel. Zero subscribers. No sample videos. NOTHING!
Gets 100 yes votes in the first hour.
Even if he is legit, and produces some wonderful videos, no one but us will ever see them.
I'm voting No and advising this person to join the Dash community, meet some people, do some things, and then think about asking for money.
I can't speak to your other comments, but I myself found out about Dash only by watching a YouTube video from a member that used this very same process. I have a family, so I can't live on the internet as much as I'd like.
That a new member to Dash is willing to spend a lot of time and effort to promote its use, should be an indication of the success of Dash's ability to fund development and promotion.
You do have a legitimate concern about identity, though. If there was a mechanism in place to 'validate' who I am, I certainly would have no problem with that.
Thank you.
Multi month proposals from a newcomer also always raises some eyebrowns around here.
Could be a better strategy to ask for a pilot funding and after that ask for the whole budget.. just a thought
I wonder if it's possible to stop payments to people that don't bother to complete their proposals. Either way, I completely understand your concern about being a newcomer. If I put in another proposal in the future, I'll definitely make it a one-time thing, as people get to know me on a more personal basis.
I appreciate your feedback.
Thinking of structiors like kickstarter where you have to have a prototype or something to show your skills before you seek funding, have you done something like this before ?
@dash-in-canada: I like your idea, so keep up the motivation.
