Dash uptake by UK businesses

Delighted to have submitted our follow up proposal.

Dash uptake by UK businesses
will build on the success and outcomes from our previous funded project. We will support integration of the interested merchants from our first project, continue promoting Dash to the gold and jewellery business sector in the UK, address issues raised by that sector in the survey and roll out the original project to a new sector in the UK. Lessons learned from that project are at Annex A and will be taken into account with the roll out. Moving forward we will refer to our team and work as Dashable.


Dash Uptake by UK businesses is Dashable’s umbrella project and will be subject to further individual funding proposals as we firm up the way ahead and have agreements with key players in the sectors we are working with. This approach enables us to properly engage and work up proposals and provides assurance to Masternodes that we can deliver what we say, as we will already have agreements in place with third parties, ahead of submitting costed proposals. Engaging with these business sectors takes dedicated time and liaison with people at all levels of organisations. It is important this part of the process is not rushed. We have indicated in the project proposal where further proposals may be submitted.


Our first project “Understanding the barriers to adoption of Dash by UK businesses and merchants in the Gold and Jewellery Sector” is complete and the report is available here. All milestones and measures of success were met - with an increased awareness of Dash within this business community and its Trade Association, an understanding of the barriers to adoption of Dash by this sector and an identified group of existing businesses from our integration studies who are interested in becoming Dash merchants.


But simply understanding and trying to remove the barriers is not enough, it is clear from our first project that we need to incentivise adoption. Facilitating the use of Dash for significant transactions in the UK, means working within first world economy constraints and planned legislation. Businesses with significant turnover have pre-existing and pressing priorities and integrating Dash is rarely one of these. To achieve uptake by established merchants, we need to incentivise early adoption.

Full proposal is available here or https://goo.gl/YKwGtj

We are excited to be taking this work forward in the UK and hope you will support the proposal - any questions please do get in touch.

Regarding the dashback, customers would need to be warned not to spend from an exchange.

But anyway, am definitely voting yes for this.
 
Yes, we will include instructions for customers in our sign up agreement with merchants for Dashback and this will be part of that

If we get funding would you mind casting your eye over this documentation maybe?

Thank you for your vote @GrandMasterDash

Cheers

Thank you for your support for our project


We hope through our proposal and video we have set out our plans which are informed by our first project


Our report highlights insights into attitudes that we are sure will be helpful to many other project owners and it is really pleasing to see it is already helping others in the community


Fingers crossed for increases in our yes votes over the next few days. It is a stressful process!


We have a clear plan on next steps and are keen to get going.
