The Laws of Nature don't give a damn what your demands are. No one can bend them for you even if they're fool enough to try (such people will end up paying a price for their fully-informed arrogance, and it's usually even worse).
I'm going to quote myself to un-nest the concern I have for DASH.
DASH seems to be utterly obsessed with reaching down.
There are some people who, once they make demands, if you're fool enough to agree to those demands, they just take it as time to make more demands. These people are there simply to manipulate you. See how much they can get you to do for them. It's just a game to screw with you. See if you're dumb enough to keep taking orders. It's the ultimate in childishness. Literally. Kids scream and cry to get their way, and if you're dumb enough to fall for it, the kid trains you, and gets worse and worse and worse... Usually, there's external peer pressure from other people who just want you to make the kid shut up. The brat is using this peer pressure, too. they understand getting others to their cause. Pain compliance doesn't take much to understand, and kids are masters of it. These other parties are fine with "appease if necessary," because bad parenting isn't their problem. They won't have to live with a kid that's been shown that bad behavior gets results. The kid is the narcissist, the random people in public are the flying monkeys.
DASH seems to keep letting bad behavior guide them to appease more and more demands with no results for DASH, from people who have no good faith interest in DASH.
I hate to throw stones at the Venezuela projects because of the rather large effort being made there. But! It's appeasement. You have to bait people to install the wallet with free stuff. Do they actually use it Look at the useless metrics of how many times the wallet is downloaded. That doesn't mean they're doing anything with it... I hate so see so much work go into pushing wet spaghetti up a hill with your nose... As long as this is spender-centric, and fails to be vendor-centric, the loop isn't closed and it's wasted time and effort. There are a lot of very enthusiastic people who are going to burn out, and I don't want to see that happen. Pushing the public to adopt something when there currently exists nothing to adopt... Would you spend advertising money to promote a product that doesn't exist?
DASH is not a whole solution. The coding end of things is going well, but the integration and bizdev end doesn't seem to be backing it up. At all. Where's your in-house people at NCR? Where's your in-house people at Walmart? Like inside sales, but you make them money instead of cost it. You get paid by your own organization, but you're inside their company to better understand what they need. Make DASH work for them. Seriously, NCR, do it. IBM is still heavy into POS, too. And worse, they could kick DASH's ass if they wanted... Just invent their own damn thing.
It's like an amusement park with no entrance. Only the people who built it are riding the rides...
