every marijuana coin is a pump and dump, and it should be obvious.  Anyone with a brain will not touch these coins with a 40-foot pole

I observed so. But I like the HMP coin. Something like it has a rhythm on exchanges. Its a pump and dump case also but its fun to trade with.I do not have experience trading with other Marijuana coin aside from HMP.  ;D

'pump and dump'?

or functional blockchains still up and running for 2 YEARS!

----
HMP is a little too premine-y and ICO like, no endorsement ;)

At this moment I find that there is only one Marijuana related coin I consider slightly viable in comparison to to others, which are totally insignificant.
And it is PotCoin - the most successful coin from this segment so far. Any other coin is not even close to their position.

I believe the main thing any of these coins need to do is give people a real reason to use them as an alternative to Bitcoin or any other coins.
For example, is your coin going to provide anonymous payments like Monero would?
How fast are your confirmation times, what are the mining rewards, what kind of network distribution do you have in comparison to Bitcoin?

Potcoin still has a lot of trading due to the hype and pump a couple weeks ago. Hopefully people stay interested in the project.

Yes and they need to actually be backed by real grow ops and real products that they sell. It should be like an investment in shares but you can then also use those shares to buy the product. This means that anyone who wants to buy the products needs to buy the coin first. You could also buy and hold coin like an investor then just sell to the next person that needs to buy something.

'should be like an investment in shares'
YES!

'as an alternative to Bitcoin'
NO .... BTC is liquid king ... the consumer/retailer is going to peg prices to $usd ... POT could likely be the first to be used as 'money' ... but it will likely still be immediately sold for $credits on the open instant market.

BUT people who agree hold as an 'investment' in a project were retailers agree to redeem for fixed amounts (coupons) ... THAT is the otherside of these coins.

sativa.

Choof coin is the best since they plan to actually be backed by an online shop where you can buy seeds and accessories so if you were ever planning to buy these things you may as well buy the coin knowing you can buy the things you need or trade it later. It also have a 5% stake every 45 days pos reward for running the wallet.

Choof
too new
too premine-y

will ad to list in July 2017 if metrics are okay, but I have doubt it makes it that far, buyer beware!

Dopecoin in the early lead!  ;D

Freedom Is Not Enough.
but it will do :D

 i like sativa too - PoS works great, low emission #s


  seems to be a ~51% premine?  Ooh

  EGC islisted on  Cryptopia
https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=EGC_BTC

  also VPRC 'Vapers'
https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=VPRC_BTC

VPRC i've not yet seen a clean bill of health.  perhaps I'm in the dark, but i thought i spotted premined junk.

EGC is on the radar .. but i suspect it will float under $100k ... given past histories (still semi-legit read).

and yesss ...
sativa!

Jr.  quotes like these piss me off ... yea every coin is a P & D ... no really step back and tell me what da F BTC is over the last 3 years ... still trying to hit the high bell after dumping on rubes like YOU melon heads.

Yes some garbage promoted as #420 friendly ... and ... THE EPIC #420 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=874423.new#new)  ... flushed them down the tube like the Turd Ferguson.

Really rube what are the flops?  

FLOZ?  .. called out
GROW ... called out
MJ ........ after a long debate level heads prevailed

oh ... POT pumped too high??? ... that's cause it is Polo listed you milk toast metrosexual !!!

I wish the poll from before was included in the results. It would have been nice to see the votes change over time. I voted for Bongger!

Why do you say that though ? They backed by something are these other coins backed by anything ? I want to use my coin on some seeds. I want to be able to stake and get seeds every now and again. Then maybe nice bongs or such for christmas end of next year.

I would like to make a new coin that will trade for mail order marijuana in canada at first then maybe duplicate the process in other legal countries. Here is my plan make a wallet and have a market in the wallet for some cannabis items. If the coin gets a community then we can shop to a bunch of the existing m.o.m's in Canada but instead as a group of say 100 Canadian computer stoners we can tell them the price we want to pay or we let a different store have our business. One of the 1 million dispensaries in my city would buy into this  . The ppl get cheap weed the dispensary gets more business . People could mine the coin to pay for their herb . If this has already been done then just forget about it.  If not maybe i would put in some btc to get the ball rolling  and then sell it to a dispensary.  (i also have to talk to a lawyer to see if i'm allowed to sell a btc market  to some hippy) anyway all the population in canada is back east overpaying for herb. I have absolutely no coding ability. ;D

It's that the coin is so new. They have to prove they're not a scam like Ganja v2. Check out what GNJ coin did on c-cex https://c-cex.com/?p=gnj-btc

This's a great idea but very hard to put together. What you'd need:

- A scalable blockchain with low fees (This doesn't really exist yet, all current blockchains are pretty bad).
- A metered p2p content delivery network (This doesn't exist yet).
- Decentralized reputation system with smart contracts (This doesn't exist yet).
- A DApp that uses the previous three technologies to makes this all work.
- Growers.
- Shippers (Growers can most likely be shippers or have their friends ship stuff for them).
- Buyers.
- Marketing (social media presence & sponsored NEWS).
- Help center.

Some of these things will be free soon, like the blockchain, CDN and smart contract code. Other things like developing a custom DApp, marketing and a help center cost money. How will those things get paid? You could do an ICO, premine coins or have a % of newly minted coins given to those things.

The other option is to start a company who does all the things that cost money and then they advertise on the DApp or take a percentage of each sale. This stuff is really new so it's hard to know what path will work. Copying bitcoin with PoW mining and hoping for volunteers to do amazing things hasn't really worked out for any of the marijuana coins yet.

i don't think i would aim to connect the customers with the growers directly because as you said the technology doesn't exist to do it smoothly (especially at a low budget) But i was thinking of it more as customers uniting like a groupon type system so we share buying power and stop getting screwed paying retail. I would shop the idea to one of the bigger name dispensaries so trust wouldn't be an issue and it would keep it simple with one retailer or maybe a few competing ones giving deals out like groupon.

I'd say that cannabiscoin is still the best choice... Potcoin has just been pumped and now coming back down. User interest is not that high. Cannabiscoin on the other hand has been sitting quietly there for the whole time. Great devs that are responsive.

CBD Crystals also doing good. 450-500 satoshi price range.
https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange?market=CBD_BTC

what would be a lower budget coins marketing and help center cost? I would like to keep the coin with as simple a wallet as possible. I did well off of nem signing up at the start but damn that wallet was difficult to get going this coin would have to be a super simple clone of some good coin. no stoner is going to get a phd just to order pot.

i will say

POT
DOPE
STV
BLZ
xci
canna (maybe)

after that ???

other wise seek #420jfa https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=874423.new#new

None have ever had a sane argument that they would be needed/used.

So none until that happens.

until it happens
;)

The Bitcoin Podcast just did an interview with TOKES. So, I feel that it is worth a listen.
