    DashDirect Virtual Visa/MC Proposal Updates

    No problem at all. We do not plan to have any KYC of any kind for DashDirect, even when the MasterCard program is launched.

    DashDirect Virtual Visa/MC Proposal Updates

    I don't quite follow. Are you talking about the general features of DashDirect or are you talking about the integration of a MasterCard into the app? I don't know how any of the items above would be related to the MasterCard program. Maybe I don't understand the comments above. I apologize.

    We have received initial approval from the compliance board at the program manager for US only. This means our documents are ready to submit to the bank for approval. We are seeking an opinion letter from outside counsel, which (if obtained) could allow the program manager to submit our...

    A better way to calculate the value of dash

    Here's a better way to look at the comparison: Let's say you have $200/mo to either stake or spend. Staking Rewards: 5% APY Savings Rate: 5% Avg Staking: 12 Months: $2454.52 $2400 principle $54.52 Interest ROI=2.2716% and no use of the funds for 12 month (i.e. you had to spend other money to...

    A better way to calculate the value of dash

    Also, a very valid point to make based on your observations and direction of your thoughts is that a user is always going to spend money on SOMETHING. By spending Dash through DashDirect, they can save instantly, and continue to replenish their Dash, then spend again. It would theoretically take...

    A better way to calculate the value of dash

    That makes sense and I do like the direction of your thinking on it. A few years ago, I developed an algorithm to calculate the value of a currency, based on the spending volume. I know this is not relevant to Dash, but just for fun, here's an excerpt from my whitepaper: "As the sum total of...

    DashDirect Virtual Visa/MC Proposal Updates

    Just a quick update. We have signed with a bank, an issuer, and a program manager. We now are working on our KYB and Due Diligence requests from the bank for approval. We have to get this part right, as this will determine whether the program can be approved as outlined or whether the bank will...

    A better way to calculate the value of dash

    I agree that save, spend, and earn are all necessary. This is part of our long-term strategy. Most users of DashDirect are likely also buying Dash on a regular basis. By doing so, they are less sensitive to the capital gains or losses on individual transactions, just as we don't look at this...

    DashDirect Virtual Visa/MC Proposal Updates

    We were asked on Discord for a target launch date. We are a bit early to know the timeline, but our target is to launch the program by Dec 1. Our engineers and designers won't be able to scope the project until I select the partners and sign agreements and receive documentation from the...

    DashDirect Virtual Visa/MC Proposal Updates

    Thank you for the clarification. That helps a lot. We are working to solve all of the challenges, including global transactions and associated FX fees. We may need a different issuer for non-US consumers, or maybe a means of converting that doesn't cost as much. We actually have currently...

    DashDirect Virtual Visa/MC Proposal Updates

    Wise has a very unique and powerful solution for spending funds in different fiat currencies. I don't see where they offer anything with cryptocurrencies. Can you point me to some information on how the card is tied to your Dash wallet? I'd be very interested in reviewing that solution. If they...
