This is Matt from Dash Watch. While working on our cost data I noticed that you were paid in April for your previous proposal “Dash-Academy” running from March through May 2018 (https://www.dashcentral.org/p/DASH-Academy.) Did you notice that? It took me some time to figure this out because that proposal was not approved according to our data.
41 Dash was paid out in the April 3rd superblock to the address Xu6LGY3uYTY3c9tEayB7pJAfAWJff86BQJ https://explorer.dash.org/address/Xu6LGY3uYTY3c9tEayB7pJAfAWJff86BQJ

Our questions for the DASH Community:
1. Do you agree that the Merchant audience is the highest priority for now?
2. What specific topics would you like to see us addressing with these interactive videos?
3. Is there anyone that you recommend we interview as an expert in these topics when building the content?
Thanks to those that have already provided input and helped us with our first on-demand course (which will roll-out for review soon). DASH Academy courses are designed to benefit the entire community. You input is critical to this process.
Thanks! Steve@DashAcademy.com
2. A lot of the topics I would want to see covered are contingent on some projects that are still in flux (PoS Systems, Integrations, etc), but I would love to see a full walkthrough for merchants from blank slate to PoS integration to exchange integration so that merchants had a viable pathway to accept Dash but also easily convert it to fiat currency if their business model requires it.
3. There are a number of projects that are working on PoS solutions (Alt36, KuvaCash, AnyPay, etc), so they'd probably be people to talk to. People like @thedesertlynx who use Dash every day in their day-to-day life and interface with Dash-accepting PoS systems and merchants would also be worthwhile to consult too to get the other side of the counter's perspective on what prospective Dash customers need to know.

MNO we need to vote early on this one.
We can leverage this interactive DASH training across all our other DASH projects. One of the common complaints from online merchants that want to accept DASH is they don't know how to get started. Steve, the lead on this project will research and create training on how to do this if his project goes through. That means we can get more merchants using DASH - isn't that what we want?
The DASH HELP Venezuela Team led by Alejandro has also stated he will translate the training into Spanish so we can leverage this out across all the DASH Venezuela projects, conferences and promotions. We need these training materials. MNO vote early. This project is too valuable for the entire DASH network and all the projects we are running.
YES Definitely

Great stuff.
I went to their website to checkout the team on this proposal and they are specialists in creating high quality training. This gives us confidence we can expect a high quality product. I saw some big brand names they had done work with which was reassuring. High quality training will transfer trust to anyone new to DASH, particularly merchants who don't know how to start accepting DASH as a payment method. Merchants also want to feel confident there is professional support behind the DASH product which it looks like this training will provide. This type of training will give the message that DASH is not just about the technology we are also about customer care.
People can only use what they understand. No other crypto has this high level quality training and it will make DASH stand out from the rest.
Absolutely YES
DEEPBLUE
Marketing will atrack people, education will stick them to Dash!
Best of luck Steve.
