From the creators of the Dash N Drink, we bring you a phase 2 proposal called Vendor-Experience. After all of the interest the Dash N Drink showed in Miami, we anticipate future products we create and present will do the same. Please vote and or ask any questions.
https://www.dashwhale.org/p/Vendor-ExperienceWe believe the best way to grow Dash is to give users a place to spend their Dash. Dash has an advantage over any other crypto with InstantX that can enable point of sale purchases without risk. We plan to utilize this advantage to show projects in the real world.
The initial project we implemented was the Dash N Drink soda machine. The key to making this project was to implement InstantX detection and trigger a machine credit. This has now opened the door for the next phase.
The next projects we will work on will include more sophisticated interfaces that will take engineering and software to connect to properly. We will be updating mobile wallets so they work quickly and easily. We expect to deploy actual products in actual stores.
The core team members coordinating this project are Camosoul, Moocowmoo, and Solarminer.

Solar, the dashNdrink was epic, really good idea, and yes I agree to vote for budget to made more products like this (using advantage of instantX).
But why put a proposal with an end paying period in 2024? Why so long?
This is really too long, I don't think the MN owner will vote for something so long... why not make a 3 months proposal? And after the 3 months made another?
while a pain - They can be down voted in any month not to pay out
Hello!
Its definitely interesting to see how people are using the budget system already although only a few months old. The soda machine was a great project to show off one of the main features of Dash, instant transactions. Now Im really interested to see where youre going with this project.
Can we have some more information about the project, the vending machine and how youre planning on operating this?
Heres some of our main concerns:
We dont know whats happening to the vending machine that was already made, who owns this vending machine and whats the plan for it?
What are you going to be purchasing with the $3000? Can you give us an itemized breakdown?
Can you give us a plan on how you aim to use these funds each month?
Would it be possible to come up with milestones for this project? What are you planning on accomplishing? How will it benefit the ecosystem?
Are you planning on selling vending machines, components of them eventually, or something like this? Who will earn these rewards?
I would assume if the masternode network is funding your operation, it should receive a cut of the profits each quarter paid out as dividends. I would like to also establish some sort of agreement between yourselves and the Darkcoin foundation as well to make that agreement official.
Im curious what the answers are, as that will inform the decision of the masternode network. Funding is starting to get tight on the network so we definitely need to be careful that well have great return on the networks investment.
Regards,
Evan

We view this proposal as a core requirement for Dash adoption, not something that is for a single merchant application or single product. If anyone would rather only support this proposal for 1 month/3 months just vote it out when you want. We plan to deliver and keep pushing the envelope of possibilities.
We plan to initially target easier devices and as we learn get to more complicated infrastructure projects. This is the plan as we have it now, but that could change based on vendor participation or types of products available.
Vending machine with multiple products that uses a custom interface.- Design software to communicate with interface, implement multiple product selection within the dash wallet.
Gas pumps- Design software to communicate with the pump controller, implement a wifi captive portal checkout with one product.
Dash Sky Store Checkout- Design a wifi captive portal with multiple products. Implement the Dash Fast Lane - no register checkout.
We will be getting assistance from inside and outside the Dash space. Each application will win press releases and additional status as a leading crypto similar to how we won publicity with the Dash N Drink.
As for the questions about what happens to the products after we are done, we expect them to be in the hands of a merchant who will actually use them. This will bring ongoing publicity along with proof of concept for other merchants to adopt and a base for testing. The valuable part of all these projects is the software, publicity and to gain adoption. The software will be open source as much as possible. The intent is not to make a business to sell products but to show how products can be used in real world scenarios.
