  2- https://medium.com/@dashnewsitalia/dash-larte-della-criptovaluta-in-continua-evoluzione-b7408702fac5 

- We thank the italian creator and manager of the YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@[b]ProgettoDash[/b] 
We have supported this channel in disseminating the various videos made.

- We participated in the testnet phase of the Dashpay app version to try out the new Mixing function and provided a detailed report. We look forward to the launch of this possibility for everyone.

- We have continued even in these months with the maintenance of the Dash Mining machine and of the Server for Masternodes.

- A lot of time is dedicated daily, therefore effort and perseverance, in reading as much as possible such as Documentation, Proposals, pre-Proposals, various Comments, Discord, Updates, Forums, Blog Articles, DCG Reviews, Incubator, various Events, etc. as well as listening to any Spaces on TwitterX or themed videos advertised and in which Tdl participates.

- Meeting with some local Enthusiastic Dash members from various areas of Italy, mainly the North.
We had the chance to organize an informal meeting with some members of the Italian community to get to know each other in person and it was a wonderful evening!

- We continue and will continue to support Dash Growth and all activities related to it, such as "EVOLUTION-MARKETING-WARCHEST" which will start, via our network.

- We have activated a username named Dash-Italia-Test on the Testnet platform DApp dashmoney.io  and we carried out some tests such as the creation of a “Pizzeria” with a menu of some pizzas and the operation was smooth. The other features look interesting too and with excellent potential for Evolution time.

-There are small local self-producers (Northern Italy) who have joined those who accept Dash, including a beer self-producer, who however prefer to remain anonymous at present.

- We have done extensive work collecting data/emails from the main Italian Crypto spreaders on YT (but also not specific to this category but enthusiastic). The day the launch of the Platform on the Mainnet was announced through the article translated by us (https://medium.com/@dashnewsitalia/rilascio-accelerato-di-evo-6da5443225b8), we prepared and sent a first email , on June 23rd, to try to bring all these Content Creators closer to Dash. The idea is to refresh their memory on the Dash project and make ourselves available to keep them updated periodically via email and in fact we sent a second email on 10 July trying to highlight that there was a lot of interest in the announcement of the launch of Evolution and listing a selection of 7 articles that talked about it on the seven online newspapers CoinGabbar, CryptoDnes, The Bit Times, TechBullion, Coinpedia, Forklog, CypherpunkTimes. Finally, for now, we have sent a third email on July 24th to inform them of the beautiful article published on Twitter and translated by us (https://medium.com/@dashnewsitalia/introduzione-a-dash-evolution-b7697bea4064) into so that they can update themselves and see when it might be important to talk about what could happen in the world of Crypto with the launch of Evolution. To date we have not received any feedback, but we think it is normal after all these years of waiting and in our opinion it is necessary to wait after the solid launch of Evolution to have feedback, responses and participation from content creators and also users.
This is the list of currently selected content creators who we think could help the cause:
@mmontemagno (882k subscribers)
@FilippoAngeloni  (34.6k subscribers)
@TizianoTridico (93k subscribers)  
@thecryptogateway (259k subscribers)
@Koinsquare (21.7k subscribers)
@BlockChainCaffe (20.2k subscribers)
@MauroCaimi (93.6k subscribers)
@mindthechart (40.5k subscribers)
@CryptoRobinItalia (721 subscribers)
@OfficineInvestimenti (18.6k subscribers)
@AfterSideCrypto (33.8k subscribers)
@MarcoCasario (140k subscribers)
@FrancescoCarrino (185k subscribers)
@RiccardoZanetti (408k subscribers)
@PietroMichelangeli (306k subscribers)
@jakidale (2.06M subscribers)
@marcocavicchioli (49.2k subscribers)

- The tools we constantly use to organize and manage all this work are listed in the previous proposal.


WEBSITE! 
The website announced in the previous Proposal is kept updated and improved based on feedback from known users or based on what we deem appropriate to fix, such as the Accelerated Release and Introduction to Dash Evolution articles:
https://linktr.ee/dash_italia
To date 22/07/2024 this site has had approximately 4930 views (about 2970 views in 6 months).


Organic development of the main Social Profiles in these first 15 months (I repeat that all old existing accounts, however, underwent a change of management and a "restructuring" in December 2021. For further information see the previous Proposals):

1-Twitter (25/4/2023 = 377 followers | 22/07/2024 = 3217 followers): https://twitter.com/ItaliaDash 
This account currently has 6507 tweets and, in the last six months, an average of 169 have been made per month. We are using and posting very consistently and this seems to be greatly appreciate.

2-Linkedin (25/4/2023 = 558 connections on old profile | 22/07/2024 = 3532 followers on the page): https://www.linkedin.com/company/dash-italia-community/ 
In recent months we have had our profile blocked and, despite a very long discussion with Linkedin support, we were unable to get it reactivated and therefore it is no longer usable. We decided to switch to using the page (the one in the link above) which was already operational and with a decent following. In recent months we have posted consistently (on average 40/50 posts per month) and carried out the usual operations allowed by LinkedIn to make it known, bringing it very close to the profile numbers used previously.

3-Telegram (25/4/2023 = 391 members | 22/07/2024 = 346 members): https://t.me/dash_chat_italia  
In this chat we try to get as much information as possible such as tweets, articles, videos and all Dash-themed content, so here too there are an average of 60/80 posts per month. We had a discussion between admins about the fact that there is very little interaction in chat but it seems to be a fairly "widespread" modality with Dash in recent years. We note that those who need information normally write privately to the Admins rather than in public chat.

4-Youtube (25/4/2023 = 215 members | 22/07/2024 = 414 members): https://www.youtube.com/@dashnewsitalia7192/community
This account actually has gotten about 10410 views and in recent months there has been an increase of approximately 1276 views. For now we are mainly using the "community" /section where posts and news are published like on other social networks, on average 80/90 posts per month. This is the most representative and always actual video of the Dash Italia channel https://youtu.be/PTCv34IfHnA?si=9pBOKh_B3bcFbL-U and it is also the most liked and viewed video.

5- Instagram (25/4/2023 = 162 followers | 22/07/2024 = 1346 followers): https://www.instagram.com/dash_news_italia/ 
We continue to use this social network for constantly post images and spot videos created by Dash users, as of today there are over 440 posts, so we are still proceeding with, on average, 23 posts and around 40/50 stories per monthwhich we use to recall events such as Twitter AMAs, bi-weekly Dcg Reviews, weekly Incubators, etc.

6- Facebook (25/4/2023 = 18 followers | 22/07/2024 = 380 followers): https://www.facebook.com/italiadash
This page was opened on 07/01/2023 and to date contains around 680 posts (on average 40/50 posts per month), just as many daily stories and this page has 308 likes (In October 2023 was 120 likes). Also in this case we continue with the publication of content as for the other accounts.

7- Mastodon (26/7/2023 = 0 members | 22/07/2024 = 25 members): @Dash_Italia@mastodon.social  
We had some problems with the Mastodon server we were operating on and our account was blocked. After a discussion with support, they advised us to migrate to another server more suitable for our work, explaining how to also migrate followers and other data. We did the surgery correctly and resumed without any further problems. The link above is the new one while anyone trying to access the old link should be directed directly to this new one. Migration day was 30/05/2024 and there were 489 posts and 22 followers. After the migration, a further 239 posts were made (therefore 728 posts in total since the initial opening on 26/07/2023).

Trying to summarize the data of these 7 social networks, there was a significant overall increase (although lower than in previous months, almost certainly due to the difficulty encountered on Linkedin) attracted by the contents and constant work on the various accounts in these months, or rather, years now.

For the months to come we would like to continue to keep active all the work we are carrying out and above all focus on the launch of Dash Evolution which represents the most important and awaited moment for many years for everyone and will certainly bring great interest back to Dash!


Conclusion (I repeat like last Proposal) 

We hope one day to be able to use our social networks for more structured initiatives, showing their potential, such as Proposal as https://www.dashcentral.org/p/Dash-Italia-HomeSchooling-for-Children and https://www.dashcentral.org/p/Dash-Italia-Merchants-Adoption-Lifestyle , committing ourselves to "teaching" families, little merchants, children and teenagers towards a new society and therefore the economy (To a small extent we are already following this vision regardless of any past or future Proposals).

To support this vision, below are the conclusions in the official Dash docs section:
“We envision a future in which this model of transparent, unbreakable and verifiable contribution to the common good, in combination with continuous participation of the crowd through active voting, is utilized to manage organizations that are owned or operated jointly by its members, who share the benefits and responsibilities of those collectives, like governments, cooperative corporations, unions, DAOs, cryptocurrencies, etc. We call this model decentralized governance by blockchain.” 
*source https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/docs/user/governance/understanding.html#conclusion 

This vision cannot be pursued without the advent of a new education that is free from the hands of the current Governments.
However, we are aware of the importance of being present on social networks and of the importance of continuously creating content in Italian in the web, which serves to continue to bring new people together. In the meantime, we also continue to disseminate daily to small local businesses.
