This looks awesome. Value added services and further consolidation of Dash as a monetary reserve. |

Howdy Tungfa, thanks for sharing.  Node40 is an incredibly competent company, while they only have a handful of staff. Perry definitely knows how to run a professional business! |

Just before I begin, I think the Shake cards are awesome! Loading with dash is easy peasy
But I have a little issue with the physical plastic card - the tap and pay doesnt work. The virtual card with Android does, but sometimes the payee asks for a pin on the virtual card, which is never issued. Anyone got a way around this?
If it asks for a pin, just hit enter without entering anything. That's how my corp card works. It's weird, but when I'm traveling and a pin is asked... I just hit enter. Who knows, maybe work for you. |

I'd add a comparative slide to recap fees. Some of them are hard to estimate - the structure of the site is a bit complicated  |

I'd just like to say i've been using Shake for around 2 months now and it is a great way to spend Dash anywhere that accepts Visa without having to go through Bitcoin or your bank. You can top up your card on the Shake site with Instant Send and the funds clear immediately and I have successfully done a Dash -> Visa remittance with a merchant within around 20 seconds end to end. One caveat to this is last week they had some delays on the fiat processing side which they are working on as it is a beta service. We've also built up a close relationship with Jean from Shake and his team and are working together to position Shake as a flagship merchant on Evolution when it is launched and building in some of the recommendations Jean has advised from a merchant perspective as we are also doing with ProtonMail. Obviously Shake is a centralized service and requires trust for the amounts you deposit but this is a given whenever you need to go via a facility like Visa. But if you have small amounts you wish to spend directly via Visa, I would highly recommend Shake for Dash users, and ultimately we would like lots of services like Shake plugged into Evolution that are in competition to provide a reliable service and you can access / top up direct from your wallet. Andy Tap & pay? NFC?
Tap & pay is a contactless method of payment used by many card companies. Some newer plastic cards have a contactless chip that allows you to tap on a terminal to process a transaction. Shake has built an Android app that emulates this card tapping interaction using your phone.
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that allows your phone to emulate the interaction between a card and a terminal (among many other things). Many Android phones come with NFC, check your phone specs to see if Shake tap & pay will work for you.
iOS? iPhone?
Yes! An iOS app is availabe (still in testing). Unfortunately, Apple has kept NFC out of reach for developers so tap & pay capabilities will be unavailable on Apple devices.
That sounds promising! That you have to load your card in ahead is a bit a bumer but I guess there is no good other way to do such. Never heard of them. Are they known/trustworthy? The other 3 cards dont have Tap & pay with NFC or do they? |

Was googling Dash and the iOS app store and there are all these articles this week about a different "Dash". Quite confusing. http://www.imore.com/solving-dash |

Looks like the mentioned Dash in that article is about the following (rather popular) app for MacOS https://kapeli.com/dash Appearently that app got removed because it was linked to another account that got involved with review rating tempering. Apple then removed that specific Dash app. This is unrelated to our own Dash app that we tried to get into the Apple store but could explain why Apple is overly cautious about Dash apps getting registered in their app store. |

Interesting...I had assumed they got banned because of us...but maybe we got banned because of them? |

I know I'll probably be unpopular for this but the above is another example of why we need a more unique brandable name other than the myriad of other Dashs that exist and cause confusion amongst potential users, investors or implementators. Stick just the word Bitcoin on an advertising poster and you've got a useful branding ad. Stick just the word Dash on an advertising poster and your ad is pretty much useless.

Not saying your point isn't valid, I just want to say that when taken in context, Dash will not be confused with the LA bus that runs in circles at business centers like Downtown or Warner Center, The apple app that allows you to browse APIs when offline or the clothing detergent. All of these products and more have chosen the name Dash despite the frequent use of it because it is catchy, and fits their product. Choosing Dash as the name for our product is going to work for us just as well, and it doesn't matter if other projects have similar names. Dash payment will not be mixed up with Dash the bus or detergent, they're just too different. Better still, the fact that when people hear the name "Dash", it will sound familiar, without knowing why. So when they learn of a new payment system, they'll get a feeling like it's been around a long time, and it will have instant familiarity. So though it may not be a unique name, it actually benefits from familiarity, which, I think, will build inherent trust in the product. Also, I'm not sure if you aware that Dash holds the trademark for the name when used in the context of crypto currencies and the like. What I'm proposing will happen above, won't happen until the general public gets involved in crypto payment systems 5 to 20 years from now (possibly as little as 3 years, but that's a very rosy outlook) Real marketers would have a better explanation of this effect, but I'm quite sure something like this happens when you get a catchy name like Dash. |

Even solely in the payment industry there are numerous other Dashs including:
Dash phone payments (singtel)
Dash cashless parking,
Dash restaurant/bar payments paywithdash.com
Dashpay card payments
Having the Trademark for crypto payments is very good and I'll admit I don't recall being aware of this. The thing is, if I or anyone was to try to spread the word by, say, getting some pens printed with "Pay with Dash", it wouldn't be a very effective effort.
I know you've mentioned, Tante, about Dash Nation name and although I like the concept, not sure about it for general branding and whether "Pay with Dash Nation" wouldn't really work.
Dashpay would be an alternative for branding but confusable with dashpay.co.za
Maybe we should be using the full name of Dash Evolution when Evo is released - "Pay with Dash Evolution" is still very snappy and Dash Evolution comes up top on,say, google rather than position 40 or so for just Dash.

those dashes, dash this, dash that, dash there.. are nothing compared to this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1020627.0so xcoin/darkcoin/DASH is not a coin or cannot be called "DASH coin" unless it is called only D TRASH ... sorry name is already taken for a coin called Dashcoin. |

True. However, I feel that if Dash becomes successful, it will blow all those out of the water, and the "Dash" name will only be associated with the most successful payment system eventually. But in the early days of adoption,  I don't know because it's not my expertise. Frankly, if people are searching for "paywithdash" and come accross Dash and then are exposed to crypto, I think it could be a good thing??? And as time goes on, more exposure, more lures, more likelihood of getting people to actually try and start using Dash. I mean, I see it going both ways, with good possibility of it being more positive than negative. But I am no expert, so??? Frankly, I think it's a very bold move to name ourselves Dash, and I have a good gut feeling that it will serve us well. But that's all it is, my gut feeling, and I have no research to back that up at the moment. However, if I find the time......... LOL maybe I'll do some reasearch?? |
