Proposal description
Instantx Detecting Soda Machine.
Why a vending machine?
------------------------
Because it shows off InstantX in a real world use point of sale scenario. This can't be done with any Bitclone(coins that confirm and secure transactions at the same time).
Features
-----------------------
What does it do?
------------------------
Displays a QR code to send Dash.
If the amount is sent via Instantx and the amount is equal or above the amount needed, it sends the command to credit the machine for 1 beverage.
This is fast - Instant from a human's perspective.
If the amount is less/over, it instantly returns the change.
If a standard transaction is sent it rejects it and instantly sends it back. (Maybe display "We don't wait for block confirmations and either should you, InstantX instead!")
Once a purchase is made, it displays a thank you and rotates the QR code.
This isn't just a marketing piece. We are designing the software for point of sale. It will enable any new device to easily adapt the github packages. Moocowmoo has done an awesome job with coding all of this. Point of sale is what sets Dash apart form the Bitclones....This is what we need!
Where will this machine debut?

Discussion: Should we fund this proposal?
Submit comment
The value is in the software we(as in moocowmoo) are designing. That will be available on github when finished. Showing instant transactions with a soda machine is just one way to do that.
Such as, who owns this vending machine that the community is paying for, and where will the profits go?
Evan then created a new proposal of 591 Dash but that was also too much (by 1 Dash).
Correct proposal is 590 Dash (this one) which fills it up pretty much completely.
