DASH RETIREMENT PLAN / UTILITY FOR AFRICA PHASE 1
OBJECTIVE OF PROPOSAL
According to the research carried out by the DashSquard Team CTO: Nigerian trade around 10 billion Naira worth of cryptocurrency each month.
Paxful CTO, Artur Schaback, stated that 35% of their traffic comes from Nigeria which amounts to one-third of the Paxful’s peer-to-peer exchange community.
https://bitcoinafrica.io/2017/12/02/the-nigeria-blockchain-alliance-conference-2017/
The Need to divert this traffic to Dash brought about the AltSavings/DashCart.
Putting the above in consideration we know for sure that a demand for proper crypto utility is imperative and we bring in DashCart.app and Altsavings.com to let the crypto network in Nigeria know that while other coins are focused on pump and dump Dash is focused on Utiltity and Adoption with a focus in Africa.
A need to create a system that helps people to Buy, Hold and use Dash for their Day to Day activity is imperative:
1. using Dash to pay UBER TAXI and Booking and payment of flight/Hotel for Nigerians and over 30 countries in the world
1. Create a Dash Retirement plan that allows people save a minimum of 1% and Maximum of 5% of their Salary in Dash and Gold daily/monthly/yearly. This will increase the demand of Dash. With an estimate of $35,000 monthly and over $40,000 monthly coming from sales of flight tickets and utility bills with a discount of 10% for gift-card sales and bonus for those who pay in Dash.
2. There is little to no merchants listed on discoverdash.com from Africa this project will list first 200 SME/Merchants the first month of approval with our present collaboration with connectnigeria.com
3. Before now Dash users cannot do anything with their Dash but DashSquard have been able to create a utility mobile application that allows the buying and selling of gift cards used in any store, payment of electrical bills in six state in Nigeria, payment of TV subscription, Mobile Top-ups in all African countries, Micro transaction that allows dash users send Dash to friends and Family without need to convert to Fiat first in Nigeria via Dashcart.app which can be downloaded from playstore. We have spoken to four travel agency and Hotel which will be granting us access to their API and then Dash advocates in Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe e.t.c will be able to pay with Dash for their adoption works around Africa.
4. Organize three days summit for 200 SME and merchants in collaboration with the Blockchain association of Nigeria so as to enable the merchants talk about their products and services to over 300 attendees.
5. Target of 5000 users of DashCart/Altsavings that will automatically mean 5000 download of New dash wallet.
6. Training of Nigeria cars/cocoa/timber importers and Exporters to use Dash as it is faster and cheaper than Fiat.
7. giving access to the un-banks allow them to be able to use their mobile Top-ups to buy Dash and Gold from Valtoro.
8. Buying and selling of Gold have not been in anyway easy in Nigeria and Africa but with altsavings both the Bank and the Un-banks will be able to easily Buy and sell their Gold using Dash and Mobile topups on our Altsavings App.
WHO WE ARE?
Dash Squad is group of passionate people made up of developers, analysts and marketers with the goal of furthering dash’s mass adoption currently in Nigeria and beyond.
We believe that the cryptocurrency revolution has merely begun In Africa and Nigeria. This gives Dash an edge to be the first cryptocurrency introduced as a medium of exchange and a store of value for its citizens.
We have been evangelizing the use of cryptocurrency for months now in Nigeria growing it use one person at a time. Including helping stores and business places see the benefits of using cryptocurrrency as a medium of exchange of which Gidicoin.com, coindirect.com, digitalkudi.com is one of our successful collaboration.
Overview
Dash retirement MVP plan http://altsavings.com is a “Now” and “Future” based software system which has within it all the elements that would quicken adoption; thereby increasing adoption in a way the Dash community has never witnessed.
The system will be in charge of helping people save for their retirement in cryptocurrency (Dash) and also assist people who are somewhat skeptical about the future of cryptocurrency save some parts of their salaries/wages in cryptocurrency so as to edge huge losses if anything goes wrong.
How it works
The system uses a financial model which minimizes losses to the barest minimum for both the fearful and courageous investors, thereby making it possibly for everyone to get involved in the dash revolution. The system works in a manner which only demands insignificant percentage of the investors’ salary so as to deduct that amount every month from the investor’s salary account and then saving it in cryptocurrency (dash) for them a minimum of 1% and Maximum of 5%.
With the way the system design has been laid out, all that is required from the investor is that he/she registers on the system, select the bank they operate with and select the percentage that should be deducted from their accounts and how often it should be deducted (i.e. Daily, Weekly or Monthly).
After each customer have added their debit cards, they will be sent a dash kit which contains necessary introductory information about Dash and they will be given free $5 worth of Dash after the first debit on their debit card has been made as a welcome tip.
Ø Wallet download and how to use AltSavings: We will be providing videos on how prospective investors can download dash wallets, synchronize it, and send/receive funds and how they can create a paper wallet to store their funds in a cold form.
We will also be making a video on how newbies can make the best use of altsavings and how they can get the best out of the cryptocurrency ecosystem and altsavings through investment.
Ø Plan: On the system we will be employing two major plans which are to save for retirement using Gold or Dash using valtoro.com. This will give the users a sense of choice and trigger a need to make further researches about Dash so as to enable them make the right decision. On the other hand this will make most of our users very knowledgeable about Dash which would go a long way as regards to indirect advertisement by users (i.e user talking to their friends, families and co-workers about Dash).
Ø Referral Program: We will also be making use of a referral approach which would compose of a link in which already registered users can send to their contacts and each time a contact signups and adds his/her card; a $5 dollar reward is sent to the customer as an appreciation tip.
Rationale: the referral system approach is a self-sufficient indirect advertising method which through the research we conducted will hasten awareness and adoption of Dash all over the globe with Africa at the forefront.

Ø Dash Purchase using top-ups: this is an option which we make available for the unbanked citizens; this will enable their involvement as they can send top-ups to their dash retirement accounts which will then be converted to Dash after the top-up token has been confirmed to be valid.
Rationale:this will guarantee the involvement of everyone ranging from the banked to unbanked and ensure we cut across people of different financial needs and approach.
Ø Customer care: we will be providing a “time frame” customer care service which we be in charge of assisting registered users and prospective users alike with their needs and questions regarding the system and its operations.
Rationale:this will guarantee a quick solution/response to any form of problem customers could be experiencing within the system and also prompt answers to their respective personal questions about the system.
Ø 24/7Blockchain Consultation: we will be employing the expertise of two certified Blockchain lawyers that will be in charge of handling any issue which might from the government and also will be assisting customers with the solutions to their respective issues as regards to the Blockchain from a perspective of the law as regarding to custodian of asset if anything happens to the clients so we will introduce them to paper wallet and hardware wallets that can be kept with a certified chamber.
Ø Dash commodity importation Training
Ø With the vast knowledge we possess in car importation and exportation, we will be educating car dealers on how they can safely import and export cars using Dash with less expenses on their part.
Ø Rationale:this is targeted at taking Dash to the importation and exportation business main stream which would increase use and adoption of Dash as a legal tender.
Brain/Paper Wallet Training
With our trainees being experienced cryptocurrency users, they will be training interested users on how they can store their dash in a brain/paper wallet if they have trust issues as regards to the security of their funds.
Rationale: this will create a platform where users can be able to handle, manage and secure their funds by themselves.
DashCart.app
We have successfully created the first utility application for Dash in Africa that allows payment of electrical bills, TV subscription, mobile top up, buying and selling of giftcards and micro transacrion. We will be having a 10% discount for all dash users for gift cards and also partnering with four travel and hotel agency to supply tickets to Dashcart. The first 2000 users will be giving a reward after using our service of $1.
Adding SMEs and Merchants to Discoverdash.com
In this regard we already have an affiliation with “connectnigeria.com/top100” and all of the winners of the competition are ready to integrate dash processing API. Presently we have 201 which will push the Africa merchants accepting Dash in Nigeria. This SME ranges from transport and logistics, health and medicals, Fashion e.t.c, thereby making it possible for users all over the country to make their daily purchases with Dash. We will be having a two days mega DASH Block chain events that allow Merchants/SME to come talk about their services and how it will benefit the crypto users. This will be the first of its kind in Nigeria. First day, we will explain all of the features of Dash and how it can benefit them and the second day they will be able to talk to crypto users about their services. We aim at a 600 attendees.
Rationale: this will enable users make their daily purchases with ease using Dash as a tender which in turn will create more demand for Dash throughout the Nigerian Nation and Africa as a whole.
Prospective Partners
At the moment; we have spoken with a handful of reputable organizations in Africa about integrating Dash within their respective systems which have been a success so far. These organizations have huge user-base which will quicken the task of taking Dash to the African mainstream as their users will be exposed to a new experience better than the ones they are used to through Dash feature.
Return on investment:
1. With a minimum wage of 50,000 Naira and a 5% monthly deduction of fiat to convert to Dash we will be making a sales of $34,722 for Dash monthly which is at a speculative amount of 5,000 customers.

Over 201 established SME will be registering as both co-operate entity and also their staffs showed so much interest to our platform.
