I'm going to lobby for this proposal once again, because I really think merchant integration should be a priority, and this one project, Odoo (a full ERP merchant/manufacturing/any type of business solution that millions use all over the world) is a no-brainer.
Please vote yes on this project. Yes it is expensive, but it is very involved to fully integrate Dash as a payment option along side fiat and credit cards. But the result will be seamless. Seamless accounting, inventory assessment, etc...
https://www.dashcentral.org/p/OdooDASHCryptoModuleI agree that the intigration to odoo would be something nice.
But i can't support that proposal, from a software developer perspective that proposal does not sound that much as a no brainer !
If someone is charging about 70 $ an hour i will not accept something as:
"It will generate the QR using the libraries of JS it will show the price on the same screen from the order.This transaction will need to become instantsend for each functionality be efficient on the retail store.
30 hours"
* using a jsLib to show a QR code = 1 hour max
* showing something on the order screen = 2 hours max (after that work is already almost accounted for with the pre tasks - 5 hours for countdown shown on screen and so on ..)
* This transaction will need to become instantsend for each functionality be efficient on the retail store. = hey lets use the word instantsend to justify some working hours ! (That instantsend work has been already made with dashsoda machine, no need to reinvent the wheel here) so again 27 hours for this? no way, and it is not even describing anything its just using some key words as instantsend ....
And so on ...
In other words its an absolute no go to charge 70 $ an hour and then describe one point of the tasks with 30 hours as implement some jsLib to get a qr code, get it on the page, and yeah also use instasend for the transaction to make it useful.
-> you will describe that last part, that instantsend part, whats to do there, why 30 hours, you won't talk about using a jsLib for an QR code, what should take someone 10 min max...
I also question that this proposal was not thought out well. Check out the comments on Dashcentral where they first said the blockchain and node traffic would be on the machine, but later changed to have it on a separate server after I indicated how much bandwidth and CPU it would use.
I am A OK with making changes, but this proposal looks like it was a blink guess. The initial proposal didn't have InstantSend and I discussed in detail what InstantSend was and how and why it should be added. Clearly, anyone attempting to make a proposal to use Dash technology should actually do some effort to understand it first.
The right way to do this, is to make a similar setup. Maybe not on an Odoo. Then show us that and how you will convert it to Odoo or finish it. Or maybe look at the the Blockpay Odoo Dash code and add InstantSend. Maybe then you will see that you are almost done in only 5 hrs and not ask for a 6 month proposal.
Solar, I respect you, but WTF? How in the world do you get 5 hours for a full Odoo implementation of Dash? I mean, even I know that's completely extreme from seeing the little I do of what my sister goes through to implement simple project changes at her work.
And you're talking to non-english speakers. Do we only want to work with Americans and Europeans? Or do we want to spread our team to the rest of the world?
Do you know how much an Odoo implementation costs? I'm not a programmer, it's true, but I honestly think that if they get Dash natively integrated, and especially accepted into OCA repository where Dash can be managed like any other currency, their quote is cheap!
This is what you will get:
https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/9.0/accounting/others/multicurrencies/how_it_works.htmlFor me, it is important that we get these merchant solutions out there asap because Dash Evolution is really Consumer friendly, and focuses on consumers, which is great, fantastic. When Dash Evolution comes out, anyone that buys and sells things like on Craigslist, ebay, etsy will have a new tool, if someone creates a site to trade on. However, there will be no grocery store, no gas station, no mini mart, nobody else that can/will dive in to accepting Dash at that point. If we wait for Evolution, we will then have to wait for ways to get merchants to use Dash, via projects like this. That will slow down adoption once again.
We need to be ready in all corners that we can find, that will work, and when Evolution comes out, and Merchants hear about it, those that already use Odoo, and look and see, oh, there is a Dash plugin, I can just implement it. And they'll be able to add it via a plugin system not unlike Wordpress.
THIS is what it's all about. And we have a team willing to put it together. And you think the price is too high?
