Proposal description
Jan, 25th, 2018 - Hi everybody, we're pleased to announce we're in setting up the escrow final arrangements with Dash Core. It's finally great news for us and for everybody as well, I believe. Due to the obvious time shortness for the current period we will be placing the proposal for the next voting period. Thanks Dash Core for the support and thanks for the community on the messages below on the proposal. Please, don't forget to DOWNVOTE!!
VIDEO UPDATE on Escrow status, company & project below - Jan 22nd
(you can check the pre-budget discussion here: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/pre-dash-is-the-first-cryptocurrency-to-land-into-portuguese-instore-payments-500-locations.26492/)
Summary:
Our goal is to present DASH as the first Cryptocurrency to land in Portugal supported by a “real economy” strategy. At the end of the project, the Portuguese market will get to know DASH as the first mover Cryptocurrency in their homeland, allowing 500 real stores to sell in DASH currency, on face-to-face transactions. At the same time and upholding this considerable innovation project, a broad marketing campaign will be held (TV interviews, news, blogs, fintech sites, banking, social media and other Media channels) in order to present the project concept and bring DASH as one of top of the mind Cryptocurrencies in Portugal. Portugal is a perfect market to launch such a project, as the “new economy” is the most widespread expression nowadays with intense support from the local government as the two last world Websummit have recently proved.
Our wish is to establish and sustain a long-term partnership, continue to distribute and spread the Dash brand and we would be honored to be an enduring ambassador of Dash in the local market.
About our company:
The company offers an extremely innovative solution to any offline merchant. Using Parcela Ja “Point-of-Sale” terminals, merchants have the option to offer payments for their products and services from 2 to 12 installments, free of interest to their end customer while paying with Visa or Mastercard. There is a full explanation with a short video on how our unique system works on our website. We've made our first transaction in June 2017 and we've reached until now 103 stores as customers. We've recently strike a new deal for 300 new customers on a store chain.
As a company we are willing to create market disruption when it comes to payments.
Our mission is to expand and enhance the traditional buying solutions offered to consumers by giving them more convenient purchase options.
About Miguel Quintas:
Parcela Já Co-Founder and Managing Director, Miguel Quintas, is the typical entrepreneur willing to take any project up to the next level. Drive is his main asset and he’s surely willing to take any new challenging project, particularly when combining new ideas and technology and web solutions with the real economy, like the current proposal. He has 7 start-up’s in his curriculum, out of which 2 have failed, 3 are running on green numbers and 2 are making their way for the last two years (out of this last two, one is Parcela Já). Most of his Start-up’s have been and are funded by himself. Nevertheless, he uses to say “thank God I went bankrupt on my first Start-Up!”. He also has a multinational background on Mars Inc, General Motors and Amadeus (Travel IT Company), being the West Europe, Middle East and Africa Regional Manager on IT Consulting Services, on the latest one.
What are we proposing to do:
Deploy 500 instore (Travel Agencies, Computer Stores, Optical Stores, Perfumeries, Auto Repair Shops and others) POS terminals with DASH payment functionality and vastly advertise the nationwide achievement (an interesting bulk of 500 merchants) in the Portuguese media. The achievement can also be used for worldwide advertising/news for DASH, if the community has an interest in doing so.
To achieve our goal we will also need to develop and integrate specific software for our POS terminals, server and website, as explained further in this proposal.
Motivation and background:
Because we have an innovative solution, and because we have innovation in our DNA, we want to bring Dash as form of payment into our POS terminals as well. Also, we believe DASH is the right partner because it is committed to low interchange fees, instant payments and the right governance model to keep investing in its own future as a wining solution for Cryptocurrencies. On top of it, we also believe there is a huge opportunity in being the first mover in the Portuguese Market when it comes to have DASH as the biggest Cryptocurrency top-of-mind recognition for the country. Therefore we’re offering a three-in-a-whole solution:
- Increase DASH brand awareness in Portugal and set foot to become the mostly known Cryptocurrency in the market;
- Keep Parcela Já market innovation statement by being the first Portuguese POS terminal to offer a Cryptocurrency payment in the country in several type of stores (apart from the current instalment payment plans);
- Increase Parcela Já POS terminals penetration with the help of DASH (leverage brand recognition and financing support).
We will, of course, use exclusivity for DASH in our POS terminals.
We also believe 500 stores is a perfectly achievable goal as recently we’ve closed a deal with a 300 Travel Agencies consortia (Airmet Portugal) to deploy our terminals in their stores. For future memory, Airmet is also present in Spain (around 800 Travel Agencies) and Brasil (around 100). Within the next three months we are expecting to close extra 100 merchants.
Benefits to DASH:
- First worldwide market to accept instore DASH payments on a “light bulk” basis;
- Broad Portuguese market (and international?) awareness on DASH Cryptocurrency (from all society sectors – economy, social and political);
- 10 million people market acknowledging DASH has the main Cryptocurrency in the real economy. And a 22 million tourists coming every year might also be a leverage;
- Enhance DASH merchant worldwide figures with 500 new merchants (to be listed in DiscoverDash and on Parcela Já website);
- First mover advantage over other Cryptocurrencies in Portugal
- Possibility to increase Portuguese market penetration up to 30.000 POS’s if current project is successful (10% of the Portuguese market)
- Chance to replicate the model on a European basis;
- We will work closely with DASH to develop and execute a successful DASH branding strategy for advertising, events, videos and any other content.
- DASH Cryptocurrency as an exclusive for the POS terminals
High level scope:
The following are the project activities we will undertake:
1. Hardware: We will need to replace our current POS terminal for new ones with a wider screen for a clear end user DASH information and QR coding purposes. This solution will also enhance the end customer purchase experience while using cryptocurrency payment.
2. Installation: We will subcontract our current hardware installation team to deploy the new POS terminals in each contracted merchant
3. Software development:
a) Transactional software: We will need to develop new functionalities, interfaces and integrations to accept DASH as a payment and convert it to Euros (please refer to the project development below);
b) POS software: The new POS terminal will have to have a specific in built software to run our new application
c) “Parcela Já” website enhancement for end customers login: To be contracted to our current website developer. It will include a front-end interface for our customers to login and check/control on their DASH payments with the following features:
c) 1. Purchase date; Store name; Product (if available); Value; Dash exchange rate; Number of installments paid (if available/used); Number of installments left (if available/used).
c) 2. End user interface structure allowing different users to view and or modify their personal data.
4. Marketing and Advertising: A specific and already identified Portuguese lobbying, communication and advertising company should be hired in order to make sure we will be in all media (TV, TV interviews, news, blogs, fintech sites, banking, social media and other media channels) presenting our most innovative solution.
Instore deliverables and advertising has also to be produced and delivered (flyers, stickers, price tags) in order to deeply activate the service and DASH brand.
We will also hire “500 days” of instore trained stewardesses with a personalized uniform to generate customer awareness when entering any different “DASH store” and offer tailored assistance about DASH and the payment system.
We are happy and willing to work with the DASH team on this particular and sensitive subject, to make sure we deliver the expected return.

Discussion: Should we fund this proposal?
Submit comment
I will ABSTAIN.
This proposal looks to not be going through.
I hope things go better next time :-)
Should start with no more than 50 dash and show results..
With regards to using escrow payments in our budget proposals i do want to state that it is an optional part in our budget proposal system, an optional part that not every new budget proposal owner is aware of. So instead of blaming new budget owners for not implementing some form of escrow in their budget proposal i think it is more fair to address this in our budget proposal system itself. Make sure new budget proposal owners get informed about how to implement escrow into their budget proposal from the start.
The whole project document just lists expense after expense, there is no explanation of any benefits to dash..
Complete waste of money.. The project is totally substandard and doesnt deserve funding at this stage.
This project should not be funded without being thoroughly vetted.
Can coingun/greencandle confirm this is acutally happening?
Also need escrowed goals and milestones.
Regarding escrow, we've requested support to Green Candle and Central and are waiting for replies. I'm hoping to give an update on this ASAP. Sorry for that.
Are you open to starting smaller first and proving yourselves before asking for such a large amount?
Commenter seems utterly clueless.
Really. Can you be more unconstructive? I spend days picking through these proposals and they comments are cluttered up with people that have no clue how to communicate in a way that doesn't just end up being an insult. Gah. Fed up. Grow up UnDash63
Proposal owner: Ignore folks like this. Waste of your frickin' time. Though, of course, you responded like an adult. So, kudos.
#SoMad
Regarding your opinion about our team I'm sorry you feel that way and I can only assure you (and the community) we keep up to our promises.
Without any track record with the community, asking for $400,000 without escrow is wrong. You have no demonstrated experience of doing this before and listing expenses is not a plan..
This is one of the problems with new proposal owners, they want to start right at the top without first winning the trust of the community with a small project..
You should start with asking 50-60 dash first and prove yourself before making such demands..
This should be included in proposal, and I will vote Yes
Doesn't inspire confidence. Voting NO.
