Hello Family :) The time has come for me to approach you all once more. I hope to submit a proposal next month for the Dash Africa project, but there is no more time remaining before the next voting cycle for this month. And I want to do it right. So if that works, I'll bother you no further...

Alt36 are a big Dash-funded project. They target the cannabis industry. As best I know, they have a large existing network of merchants, and have bigger plans.... such as ATMs. People who buy cannabis appreciate the privacy aspect of Dash. Please google them if you want to know more, as I...

Yeah... it is possible that the Dash governance system could replace not only banks, but governments too. Do you know about the Alt36 project?

Please could you provide a hyper-link?

@demo You respond just like a bot! But you write like a fallible human. Although I agree that proof of individuality is very important, I do not understand how it will "strength and tight the community bonds, and make Dash stronger." (sic) I think that this is a crucial issue.... my...

Well, @demo , by definition a fresh noobie doesn't have any posts yet. I am trying to introduce @Teague. I thought that his ideas might interest you.

You should really talk to @Teague . He has some fresh ideas about proof of identity and proof of individuality, and if you could help to culminate his ideas, that would be great.

This is planet Earth calling planet @Teague.... hey buddy.... have you gone sailing again? There are not many people like you, which is why I am trying hard to get you to join the Dash community. Come chat more on Discord bro! The Dash community is really small, once you get to know everyone...

Yeah @Teague... we only recently moved to Discord. I'll introduce you when I see you there! Meantime I'm stressing about getting everything ready for tomorrow: New kit for the kids, and camera-guys to make the vids! BTW: Would you like to join the Dash Africa team?

Thanks @Teague !! The project is going ahead, but I only have funding for the first month so far. So I'm working hard to make sure that Dash earns Return on Investment, so that I can fund the next 2 months as per my budget. This is more work than I expected, with all the communication and...

@Coachdigi I like your approach! I spent hours during my meet-ups, working with people one-by-one. This is a good idea!

If I can derive any sense from this debate, @RGXDK is worried that many small proposals are a waste-of-time, and perhaps he is correct. Hence, there are many efforts to remove the proposal evaluation burden from the MNOs ... to let sub-DAOs deal with the small admin.

In other words, the idea of a digital currency funding soccer teams is new and has not been tried before, afaik. If you could describe some examples of funds being wasted on failed soccer projects, that would be informative. Otherwise I think that most would agree, that this is worth a try.

@RGXDK in response to your comments: #1 It's better not to create coins and dilute the currency supply of everyone than to spend on projects like soccer. I am not a big soccer-fan. I barely watch any sports at all. But why would companies like Vodacom sponsor soccer if they didn't receive...

I feel a need to comment, given that my Leopards soccer project was mentioned in the Original Post. I'll repeat my earlier response to @RGXDK : Remember that we have two very distinct kinds of people: People who buy Dash for investment purposes need an hour 's presentation to persuade them to...

Follow up: I didn't submit a proposal, because of the small amounts of Dash required. I was able to raise the needed 3.3 Dash for the first month, thanks to support from some cool projects in the Dash community. Please visit the website to follow our progress. https://leopards.dash.africa

@RGXDK I agree again... $100 to convert one African is simply way-too-much. And I agree that Dash is not-quite-ready yet to be adopted mainstream. But computer-literacy does not seem to be an issue to me... the Africans will use their smartphones for micro-transactions, and will be taught how...

@RGXDK I'm sure that you must have noticed that Africa is the new hot topic. Because of failing economies, there are huge opportunities to promote adoption of crypto, and Dash specifically, in Africa. We cannot do this without people on-the-ground, and Mahamadu (cryptolib) has a proven...

@RGX Umm... I must agree with you on that @RGXDK . $180 per person reached is too much. Maybe @Nathaniel Luz has something more to say. He is our African Champion and has been doing great work. Let's see how he responds.

I'm sorry to disagree, @RGXDK. Dash has two different use-cases. It could be viewed as an investment, like Bitcoin, and we could make youtube videos to reach the online educated people. Conversely, Dash aims to be Digital Cash, and for that to happen we need to reach the common people.
