Hello everyone!
First of all,
@DavidHay I want to say: congrats on this idea and iniciative, thanks for understanding what is going on in our country and the struggle our people is going through, but specially for being determined to do something about it.
I would like to give you my suggestions to your proposal.
1) I quoted
@djcrypto because I think this is crucial for the success of your project. Merchants should be the first ones to get training and download their wallet so they can accept DASH as payment, so the 300,000 people you are going to teach how to use DASH have a real experience of how to buy goods and services with their wallets. Nothing can beat this kind of learning.
In DASH Venezuela we have developed an Entrepreneurship Program, and have teached over 100 merchants already. We would be happy to help you with this.
2) I think what
@AlejandroE pointed out is very important and true. You are saying 4 USD is 2 weeks wages in Venezuela, but you want to work in Cucuta-Colombia, where the economic reality is another. And also, even though there are a lot of Venezuelans in Cucuta, they most probably are not in a position to start really adopting cryptocurrency, because they probably do not have a device that serves this purpose.
So, what if you worked in a Venezuelan city, and if you want it to be near the Columbia borders I suggest San Cristobal, Tachira.
This also makes sense because you would be working directly with merchants in Venezuela, helping this area to get stronger, and maybe the refugees can find a way back home.
3) If you still worry about the people who are too poor to even have a smartphone, I suggest that you also support a NGO that works directly with them.
4)
@Stealth923 thank you for your idea. Yes we would be happy to get our conferences to Cucuta, or even better if they take place within Venezuela's borders, such as in San Cristobal, Tachira.
5) Of course, Dash Help participation is the natural way to go, and I am sure
@AlejandroE and his team will do a great job.
6) Of course escrow is essential for a project like this.
7) Also you have to include in your budget and in your plans a safety management for you, your team and your equipments.
I hope this was helpful. I wish you good luck!
