Looks like this was P&D, but who knows, maybe not?

May/June 2014 volumes were probaby five digit...

Nice to see almost 1000 BTC worth volume : DASH. Is it record high?

 

when will i get that much monies

 

Pretty chuffed and especially pleased for my regular P2P buyers



dash-news.de/dashtv/?value=428261 nice and perky since I last took a glimpse at it

In other news I stated doing a bit of MN voting with a Yes to the Lamassu ATM & a No to the PR initiative where I believe I'm voting contrary to Evan on that as I'm not convinced it's good value for money and is too early anyway imo.

Time to support independent creative projects.  Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present:

The Instantx Soda Machine!



The plan is cunning and clever.  We give away paper wallets to BTC Miami attendees with enough DASH to cover the price of a soda with some left over to keep.  They load it into their moile wallet, step up to the machine, follow the simple instructions, and behold the power of instantx while chugging a tasty beverage.  This project could use your support.  Be sure to say nice things and if you are a masternode owner, be sure to vote for funding for this most awesome proposal.

Hi toknormal.......... what exchange is that image from plz.    thx

If you are interested in Dash this is a must read. Having a written strategy statement is key to success, it helps us stay focused and make decisions that are aligned with the global strategy when in doubt.

I took the liberty of jazzing up the statement for my followers. Come see if you get a chance. Great job, kot, Dash vision laid out clearly.

^^^ great advice me thinks ^^^

I think this is extremely well done and looks very professional. I do have one constructive piece of criticism, though. This is a terrific opportunity for branding and the logo itself is altered to the point that no one would recognize the Dash logo the next time they see it. All the messaging just needs simplifying.

I would stick to the official logo "D" front and center in large print, with no soda cans inside or covering the logo. The soda cans could be behind or around the logo like an explosion, but I would not compromise the branding of Dash by changing the color or appearance or covering it up.

Second, don't underestimate the value of "white space". You essentially have four messages on here ("Dash and drink", a modified logo, "with InstantX", and the logo and website), and the only official Dash logo in official color is WAY down at the bottom where in a crowded environment with people standing in front of the machine, no one will be able to see it. So here's what I would do:
1) Move the blue logo to the top where everyone will be able to see it.
2) people know what to do with soda - you drink it - so simplify message to "Dash and go with instantX" and keep the "with instant X" together with the rest of the message. The message is more confusing when you separate "with InstantX" from the "Dash n' Drink" in this version.
3) Simplify the "D", make it conform to our official brand guidance, and have WAY fewer soda cans floating around or exploding out in the background (behind any other lettering)... you only need a few soda cans to get people to understand the concept and what it is vending
4) Keep www.dash.org at the bottom to keep the important message simple at the top. Besides, people searching the web will find us even if they don't see or remember the website. It is the least critical element, but we should leave it on there. I'd rather have the main message simple.

With this you would have a consolidated message five words and the logo front and center. And people will still know it's a soda machine. And they will absorb the idea of "instant" more often because it is part of the initial message, not separated.

Edit: Along with making fewer soda cans, I would also make them bigger. You can't tell what they are from a distance.

Shoot, one more thing I noticed as I was approaching my monitor, the Dash D is not really distinguishable from a distance at all.  It's far too subtle.  I don't know how to fix that, I do love the watery blue.  Perhaps, if it looked like the D were either a pool deck surrounded by water or the D and slash were the pools?  Then the soda cans are floating in the water?

Oh, and if you hadn't thought of this yet, make sure the sodas are the ones you'll be providing ;P

It's ok if you reject my suggestion, Dash is already written there as well...

You know, if you want a space theme, the cans of soda could be "floating", some closer, some farther away?  (edit: I just realized it is supposed to be water ;P)

I think you have to move 'instantX' and everything above a little bit higher:



Btw: whats next? Dash energy drink to catch the youth ?

The vending machine shows a tiny part of how real and useful this project is, congrats and thanks!
