Ziftr and RedDotNet Form Cedar Point Solutions to Simplify Cryptocurrency and Fiat Currency Transactions
Ziftr® (http://www.ziftr.com/), a company that develops products, tools and apps to revolutionize the shopping experience, and RedDotNet, a leading manufacturer of small form-factor kiosks, today announced the formation of Cedar Point Solutions, a Hooksett, New Hampshire-based company that aims to simplify cryptocurrency and fiat currency transactions.
Cedar Point Solutions is run by founder and CEO George Kassas, a multi-lingual executive with over 25 years of experience in technology, telecom, communications, software applications, analytics and government affairs.
"Cedar Point Solutions merges the sophisticated technologies developed by two prominent and successful New Hampshire companies and brings together the talented entrepreneurs behind them," said Kassas. "We're thrilled to provide a unique solution that will enable financial transactions anywhere, anytime, in any medium."
Established in 2008, Ziftr revolutionizes the shopping experience through the development of innovative products, tools and apps that make life easier for both consumers and retailers. Ziftr's price-comparison tool, which is available as an Android app and browser add-on, has more than 2 million downloads. Ziftr recently launched ziftrCOIN, the gateway coin to mainstream cryptocurrency adoption; ziftrPAY, an API that processes cryptocurrency and credit card transactions, and ziftrWALLET, a multicoin digital wallet.
"We can't wait to launch the first Cedar Point Solutions kiosks and give consumers the opportunity to use cryptocurrency in a much easier way than ever before," said Bob Wilkins, CEO of Ziftr. "The kiosks will integrate with the ziftrPAY and ziftrWALLET technologies to simplify the process of buying and transferring cryptocurrencies and converting cryptocurrency into fiat currency."
RedDotNet is a leading custom kiosk manufacturer specializing in purpose-built, highly reliable, small form-factor kiosks. Since its beginnings in 1998, RedDotNet has built a reputation for providing class-leading hardware solutions proven to stand up in the harshest of retail environments.

"By combining the strengths of our companies, we are poised to bring cryptocurrency to the average consumer in a manner to which they are accustomed with our self-service kiosks. Making the purchase process easy on the consumer is going to be critical to the success of cryptocurrency, and we feel that we have the team and the platform to do just that."
Members of the Cedar Point Solutions team will be in attendance at Retail's Big Show 2015, the National Retail Federation's flagship industry event taking place in New York City from January 11-14, 2015.
