[TheSingleton]

Do you have some data on how often people actually buy something with Dash it any of these merchants?

 

[AlejandroE]

Do you have some data on how often people actually buy something with Dash it any of these merchants?

Hello TheSingleton, thanks for your question. We are collecting this data from all the merchants by calling and visiting them. For example, the "famous" lady of the kiosk is receiving at least 1-2 transactions per day (and this is just a tiny kiosk). Besides, with the POS system from QR.CR it is possible to see the exact number of transactions the merchants (who use it) are receiving.

Once we have a more solid data we will share it in this thread. Thanks again for your question.

Best,
Alejandro

Also, something I would find interesting to know are there Merchants adding Dash without your direct involvement and if so how many?

Yes, there are merchants being added at DiscoverDash.com without our direct involvement. For example, the Dash Maracay team has added some merchants (they added around 20 merchants). It is difficult to see merchants adding theirselves but I know there are a few ones. Anyways, we (Dash Merchant) have around 70% of the merchants added at the site.

 

[AlejandroE]

Dear Dash Community, we are glad to share with you an article that Cryptovest.com did about the mass adoption of Dash in Venezuela. Thanks to the effort of Dash Merchant Venezuela, Dash Help and the other Dash projects we are making a lot of noise around the globe!

This is the link of the article: https://cryptovest.com/news/dash-claims-being-widest-spread-crypto-in-venezuela/


----------------------------------
The new proposal of our closest allies: Dash Help!
Dash Help is the first support center of a crypto in the world, and it is exclusve for Dash (calls, livechat and ticket support). We provide support to Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina and Spain, and we will expand the service to the US & Brazil + videos tutorial of "How to use the Dash Wallet" + Marketing work + collaborations with the Dash Core Team.

Check our proposal here (https://www.dashcentral.org/p/Dash-Help-Support-Center) and what we have done here (https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/dash-help-venezuela-support-center-updates-news.36462/)

Thanks!

Integration of Dash Text in our POS system​

In this video we showcase the incredible new feature from Dash Text, the purchase command "Compra", which allows people to make quick payments to merchants with just a simple code, without needing to type an amount to be payed or a recipient, its all done seamlessly, users get a confirmation message with the details of the purchase so they can review before actually paying, it works great!

DASH MERCHANT & KRIPMTOMOBILE (# OF SALES!)

Dear Dash Community, last Saturday our Dash Merchant agents were at City Market mall in Caracas (one of the biggest tech malls in Venezuela), supporting customers with their first Krip phone, getting their Dash and ready to spend.

We also spoke with one of the biggest distributors of Krip in Venezuela (Datacel) and they told us that they have sold around 7000 phones so far.

Great stuff!
johnnyboy, I'd recommend you to use writing online instead. I've used it several times and am very content with their approach.
