Pre-Proposal: SKYDASH Flight booking website.

[Jose Viera]

Skydash is a flight reservation system where we bet on the use of DASH as a method of payment. We believe that digital payments are the future of global flight booking and we see that dash can revolutionize the travel business making payments faster, more secure, and less expensive on a global scale.

Problem.

there is currently no website where you can purchase your flights directly with dash

Solution.

our solution proposes to offer the lowest prices to all the users who pay with DASH. which is what we want, to integrate all existing solutions such as change sites here in the community to make it easier for the user to get their flights at the best market price

This will contain our solution.

This looks good, a couple questions:

1) Will flights always be available for Dash? The reason I ask is because Expedia and other services take Bitcoin payments, but that option is not available for some (most) flights because the airline doesn't accept it.
2) What are the monthly charges for? Is this a business permanently subsidized by the Dash network, or is it just an integration fee? If so it should just be a one-time charge.

 

[Jose Viera]

Thanks for you response @thedesertlynx asking yours questions.
1) Will flights always be available for Dash?
Yes, our idea is that if the airline does not accept this currency, we will exchange it so that the user makes their purchases as transparent as possible.
2) What are the monthly charges for? the monthy charges are the cost of the develop of this, we want to pay the project as it progresses and not retain all the money of a single.

This appears to be your first (pre)proposal. You may want to use https://greencandle.io/ to do escrow for the project. To me it doesn't seem like a very expensive project, which can be suspicious. If you already have a lot of the code then that is different. As it stands there is a lot of details missing like who is involved and other things, a feature list won't cut it. To me a travel booking website requires a massive amount of user facing code just for the complexity all the possibilities (one way, multi destination etc). Not that any of that should be reinvented.

Ok good. That second part was not clear. Maybe make that a little more clear that all costs are to create and develop the site, not to maintain it. The way it's written right now, it makes me think that Dash will support the site after it is finished.

Thanks you @ampp for you response actually the proposal was made by https://www.vsourz.com/about-us/ they already have all back end develop thats why it's less expensive. I just talk with them and asked if they can do this and they made me the proposal.

yes it need support after it is finished, we believe that with the sales of flights can be kept in operation and cover the costs of support.

350+25+200=575, not 775. But anyway, I don't think we have to pay monthly for keep your website running.

How many flights in dollar terms do you have to sell to cover the operating costs per month? Like 50 $300 dollar flights? etc
