Dash Retail Mission Statement
Dash Economy Infrastructure: Create, support and promote the point-of-sale infrastructure required for a Dash-only monetary system to dominate the global economy.
Supercharge Merchant Adoption: Spark the next round of growth in Dash merchant adoption by enabling Dash merchants to hedge their received Dash instantly, enabling Dash to enter new industries and climb the supply chain by removing the volatility risk.
Total Dash Liquidity: Leapfrog the ATM/exchange integration marathon by leveraging every Dash merchant as a Dash on-/off-ramp, thereby closing the adoption loop and reducing system-wide volatility.

What Dash Gets
Why This Price
In our first cycle (February - April) we managed to produce significant results with our two developers. Neither our advisors or lead team member George Donnelly are taking any salary from the Dash Retail budget. We are building this project using Agile Methodology to produce an MVP (minimum viable product) for earliest possible release, testing, and subsequent iterations. Our initial planned purchasing power of $10,000 per month remains consistent. All of us are dedicated to the cause and have a longstanding commitment to Dash and are taking reduced or no salaries to ensure this product is produced efficiently for the benefit of Dash and the DAO.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to answering any questions you may have.

Dash Retail 2 by AshFrancis
https://dashwatchbeta.org/r/MAY19/dash-retail-2
As such we've been pulling some long weeks and late nights but we're still on schedule and very excited to be launching this in the coming months. The systems we've built have the potential to radicalize our adoption efforts globally.
Every local team using Dash Retail will be able to sign up merchants easier, faster and more transparently. Every merchant will have a vastly improved, consistent experience that just works intuitively and reliably. Every customer has a great user experience, whether they're sending money home, paying for goods or buying Dash.
This platform allows all our adoption efforts to scale from thousands to hundreds of thousands and more, all in an accountable, rapid and sustainable way.
Thank you for all your on-going support and the many messages and questions we receive, they are all very welcome! Please feel free to email me at any time: ash@dashretail.org or message me on LinkedIn, Discord or elsewhere.

No more. https://tracker.pagacondash.com/
The transaction tracker, which works with the Point Of Sale software gives us the ultimate way to monitor (and reward) actual adoption, use and transactions. Keep in mind, this is a beta version. There are a lot of plans to improve it. And the team would appreciate feedback and constructive criticism. Talk to Ash for technical details, or if you have ideas about using these tools in other parts of the Dash ecosystem. It is designed as a pilot project to be reproduced elsewhere.

- Our budget was $170,000, due to the extended bear run we received $35,000. As such we all ended up in significant debt (around $40,000 debt across credit cards / bank overdrafts)
- Despite this, we managed to launch the platform before each of our three prior agreed payment processors backed out. You can see a full demo of it on the 3 Amigos Podcast here: https://youtu.be/q_pY52fVz_8?t=1177
- We've received a small amount of funding from Dash Boost to continue pursuing UK banking and have made some headway with a few UK banks but we're also looking to launch in Canada with CAD pairing via a partnership with a Canadian MNO and also as a crypto-crypto gateway (like ShapeShift).
Also worth noting that a fair bit of the software we built for the exchange has been re-purposed for Dash Retail giving us a faster route to market.
Hope this top-level answer helps but I'm more than happy to go into detail (the upcoming Dash Watch interview will cover the latest news too) through whatever medium you prefer.
What buy/sell fees or any other fees will be charged if any?
