### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

Dether Update #3: From Dether for Shops Release to Personal App on Main Net Dether Follow Apr 13, 2018 · 5 min read

Updates on Dether for Shops and the upcoming Personal App release on main net, our Beta bug bounty, insights from shop owners on the Dether map, our growing team, and more!

The Block Café in Lisbon, Portugal, featured on the Dether Map

It’s been just two weeks since we released the Dether for Shops on Ethereum main net, and we’re already back to give you an update on what we’re working on at the moment, and what we hope to bring to you in the coming weeks.

Since our last development update:

we released a part one of our customer interviews (giving an inside look into what it’s really like to buy crypto across the globe)

we announced that we are joining forces with Kleros for decentralized arbitration

Hamid had the pleasure of participating in a live AMA with QUOINE Global Head of Operations, Seth Melamed doing a live demo of Dether’s upcoming personal app

1. News and Notes

You might have noticed some changes on the Dether website — that’s because we are in the process of getting a facelift! Dether will soon have a fresh, new look that better captures who we are, so stay tuned!

We are also happy to welcome Mehdi Amor to the Dether team!

Mehdi brings nearly a decade of legal and commercial expertise from a wide range of Industrial and infrastructure projects overlapping across multiple geographical markets.

His global experience will help Dether serve it’s decentralized user base.

He has a passion for transparency and creating sustainable business models. Welcome, Mehdi!

2. The Nitty Gritty

Dether for Shops: what we’ve learned

One of the challenges faced by our development team prior to the first release of Dether for Shops was that processing times were much faster on Kovan test net then on Ethereum main net. While everything ran smoothly and quickly on Kovan, there was more latency on main net. This led to a few minor changes prior to the release of Dether for shops, like readapting transaction management and error handling.

Learning from this, the team is now testing the personal app on Ropsten, which more closely mimics main net in terms of latency. The team is continuing to think ahead in terms of wallet security and transaction management.

In order to push the app to its maximum potential, we’ve launched a bug bounty program. This means that you can have the change to test the app, and be compensated for finding bugs, big or small.

Get info on the bug bounty program here!

You can also tell us about your experience with Dether for Shops so far on Telegram: we’d love to here from you.

Feedback from Shop Owners Listed on the Dether Map

The Block Café in Lisbon, Portugal

Facebook.com/theblock.cafe.lisboa

The Block Café in Lisbon is no ordinary café — this combined coffee shop and co-working space offers a space for entrepreneurs, digital nomads, and crypto-enthusiasts to gather on a regular basis — all while serving great coffee! Marc, café owner, told us that while they’re already well-equipped to accept crypto payments, that “being listed on the Dether map is a way to reach a broader audience.” We couldn’t agree more!

Slika Gallery in Rijeka, Croatia

You can purchase prints and original art at http://www.slika.eu/

If you’re in the market for some beautiful art, and are looking to buy with crypto, then look no further than Slika in Rijeka, Croatia. Slika’s owner voiced his passion Dether and is currently trying to “test all the functions and the app as much possible” and encourage more frequent buyers to purchase in crypto.

“I’m still new to the world of crypto, but I’ve been paid in crypto a few times and am glad to have the experience. So far the the app is easy to use even without lots of experience. ”

Slika is listed on the Dether Map to make it easy for anyone to find it

Dether SDK

Our development team is actively working on an SDK that will allow everyone to easily interact with the Dether protocol. Improvements have already been made to the Dether JS library, which handles all of the Ethereum work, from wallet creation, to smart contract function with data formatting, thanks to ethers.js. A second version called Dether.web3 is almost finished as well. It will be lighter and will handle just the contract and data formatting work, but will require a web3 browser, such as MetaMask or Mist. These libraries will be released at same time as the personal app on main net, to help other Dapps implement and benefit from the Dether protocol.

3. On the Horizon

The next release will be the personal app version of Dether, which will allow anyone to locate shops accepting crypto around them.

You can also look forward to posts about best practices for Dether shops, the Wyoming Utility Bill and why it’s good news for Dether, and feedback from the first shops listed on the Dether Map! Stay tuned!

— TL;DR —

→ Dether for Shops released on Ethereum main net; positive feedback from shops already listed

→ Exchange: Dether builds strong relations with QUOINE Exchange

→ Latency on Kovan test net led to team using Ropsten for current Personal App testing, which better mimics main net

→ Development team working on two versions of Dether: main app and lighter app using Mist or MetaMask

→ Personal app: Bug Bounty Program starting this week on test net, main net version coming in a few weeks

→ You can earn DTH and test the Personal app through our bug bounty program
