Recent\u00a0drama behind the scenes with Bitcoin<\/a>\u00a0has resulted in the world\u2019s most popular and oldest cryptocurrency, that sadly can\u2019t scale to increased demand, and as a result, has\u00a0escalating, ridiculous fees<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Luckily, thanks to an NH-based upstart from the Seacoast called\u00a0Anypay<\/a>, now merchants can accept\u00a0DASH<\/a>\u00a0at point-of-sale. In fact, here in Keene, New Hampshire, local mom-n-pop retailers Corner News, Hot Hogs BBQ, D\u2019s Cafe, and Route 101 Local Goods all now accept DASH at the register via the Anypay app.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a relief to be able to use cryptocurrency again retail in real life, with fees that are sane. Fees for sending are usually no more than 1-3 cents\u2019 worth of DASH per transaction, and they\u2019re expected to\u00a0get even lower with DASH\u2019s next upgrade<\/a>. Compare that with Bitcoin\u2019s recent, insane $10+ median fees recently. Over the last couple of days they\u2019ve dipped, but are still over $6 worth of BTC just to send a transaction. It\u2019s sad \u2013 Bitcoin is broken, yet amazingly continues an upward trend in value, just today setting a new record high of over $8,000 USD per BTC.<\/p>\n

Right in the midst of the DASH retail explosion happening in both\u00a0Portsmouth<\/a>\u00a0and Keene,\u00a0Lamassu<\/a>, the manufacturer of\u00a0Keene\u2019s first Bitcoin Vending Machine<\/a>\u00a0released a long-awaited system update that has expanded their software to allow for multiple cryptocurrencies to be vended. Since DASH is uniquely positioned as \u201cdigital cash\u201d and has growing point-of-sale support in the Keene area, it is now the first additional cryptocurrency besides bitcoin to be offered as a vended product in this region.<\/p>\n

\"Route<\/a><\/p>\n

Route 101 Local Goods is at 661 Marlboro Rd. in Keene, NH<\/p>\n

That means DASH is now available in Cryptocurrency Vending Machines (CVMs) across southern New Hampshire! In June,\u00a0Portsmouth became the first city<\/a>\u00a0to offer DASH in its vending machine(s). One month later,\u00a0Manchester\u2019s original Bitcoin Vending Machine<\/a>\u00a0at Murphy\u2019s taproom\u00a0had added DASH<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Route 101 Local Goods<\/a>, the location of Keene\u2019s CVM, is at 661 Marlboro Rd. and is open Mon-Sat 10a-6p, and Sunday 11a-5p. They accept multiple cryptocurrencies at the register and offer some really cool NH-sourced, hand-crafted products for sale. It\u2019s a perfect place to do all your holiday shopping.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Lamassu (originally based in Manchester, NH) for the system update to allow people to have a choice in the crypto-marketplace. If you\u2019re a crypto-libertarian and you aren\u2019t planning a move to NH, here are\u00a0101 Reasons<\/a>\u00a0why you should.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
