What the Dell?
Are they doing it for the publicity and a few million in potential sales ? I don't know why they wouldn't.
Transaction savings? What would they save 1-3%? 3-5%?
What could the transaction savings become through the entire supply and manufacture chain? For non wage expense only? For wage and non wage expense?
What of the accounting? Would the blockchain ledger be useful? Could it reduce accounting costs?
Can we add to the list? Assuming these companies are in testing, is there a closing window for near term adoption (pre-holiday)?
-Best buy
-Wall mart
-And of course our good friends at Target.
Store (receipt) and Manufacturer (warranties) are registered/recorded (blockchain) at POS?

Better hang on Marty..
