good introduction and promotions dev.. i have read your website... i like,, you add detail that enaught complettly..

We don't have a telegram group at the moment, however we have the Slack which is linked above and you can find our facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/BaraCoinTeam/.

Looking forward to hearing more yours thoughts and any feedback you might have! Also our website is not in it's final design stage yet. We will be completely overhauling the design in the coming weeks.

Good luck for your project !

Thank you!

Hi everyone I am a member of the Baracoin Team if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I am online for the next 30 minutes.

I will be logging on to answer as many of your questions as possible in future.

Thank you all for the support.

this is good for Africa and i will be following this with keen interest

How many people in Africa use this?

Are you by any chance the legit representative from the government of Africa? I bet you are not. A lot already used that tagline here, so more than likely you are just using the country - Africa in your project. But then, good luck if ever this will go through!

We have just launched our project, so as of yet the service is not available. We want to build a strong ecosystem of businesses with which customers can use our service to make payments and purchases on. We intend to run a pilot program in the coming months (Prior to our crowdsale) to test everything from both the customer and business end and get feedback, so stay tuned, or sign up to our mailing list on our website to learn more about that soon.

Good luck with project. I hope it will be marketed properly.
You know, Africans have their own way of seeing things. If they don't see reasons why they should accept it, they will never accept

Simply put our tagline is meant to highlight our intention to bring this currency and integrated payment system to every country in Africa. If you read our comprehensive whitepaper you can see our detailed reasoning for choosing Africa as our primary market.

In brief this is because many African countries are in need of a stable currency that can be easily, quickly and cheaply transferred internally and internationally. The African market is still in its infancy in relation to digital currency, yet the continent has a good level of mobile internet penetration and a good precedent for cashless money solutions, for example, M-Pesa and Econet. So we believe the time is set for a huge expansion of digital payment solutions on the continent.

In the initial stages however we will be focusing our efforts on a few select African countries in order to build up a strong Baracoin ecosystem there before expanding further out.

Excellent point and certainly we understand this. If you look at the team section of our site you will see many of our team members are either African nationals, or living in African countries like South Africa and Zimbabwe currently, so we already have good insight as to what is needed.

We will of course be soliciting more feedback from the community as we ramp things up.

Hi, I'm the CEO of Baracoin, I'm here for the next while and happy to answer any questions or get any feedback on our website, whitepaper etc. How're we all doing?

We're extremely keen to get feedback, suggestions and criticisms of any aspect of our whitepaper, website or overall plan, especially as we continue to try and improve all of these. So please join us in our Slack Channel (https://join.slack.com/t/baracoin/shared_invite/enQtMjU5OTQyMzYyMTE2LWM1YzM2MjE1YWQ3MGU3MmVkMjUzZjMyNjVhMjUwNWVlYWYwY2EzNDVmYmJlZWE1ZjgxMTQwNGUwODVjOWE1OTU), or simply post your comment here. We will do our best to answer any and all questions. Have a good day all.

Africa is a continent composed of many countries which are composed of multiple tribes, which interact which each-other in a very complex way day to day. We're seeking to build, from the ground up, with the help of local experts and everyday people, (you'll find most Africans across the continent don't trust any government)  a digital currency which simplifies trade & travel on the continent, and incentivises development. If you read our whitepaper, you will see why and how, if you still don't, after reading the whitepaper, I will be happy (and tbh, keen) for your feedback.

Thank you for your interest we are wrapping up a few last minute details and working on our ground up approach.

We are trying to make a coin for the people, so we are looking into local merchants and local communities to see how we can best benefit them.

Also understanding our target market as my colleague Dr Maweni pointed out the complexity of Africa, we need to understand what the everyday person needs and how they can use Baracoin to meet these needs. All in preparation for our Q1 2018 launch.

We will be posting about major announcements on this forum but make sure to keep an eye on our

Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BaraCoinTeam/

and our twitter account: https://twitter.com/Baracointn to stay up to date with Baracoin and our progress.

I hope this helped and if you or anyone else has any further questions to ask then please feel free.

Good luck with project. I hope it will be marketed properly.

We’re back! We apologise for the lack of communication recently but we’ve been hard at work, even during the holidays and we have some exciting announcements for you.

First, we’ve overhauled our Website and we hope you’ll like the new design and you can check it out here (https://www.baracoin.io/).

Next, we’ve made the decision to use Stellar as our underlying platform for delivering this new service.  Stellar is a decentralized, hybrid blockchain that is fully open-source and already in widespread use by many companies. Stellar is purpose built to enable financial services to be delivered quickly and cheaply. Our whitepaper has been updated to reflect this and we will be providing additional information in the near future.

Lastly, we’re happy to announce our partnership with Poscloud (http://www.poscloud.co.zw/home), a point of sales device provider based in Zimbabwe who will be helping us to bring Baracoin to shops across Zimbabwe.

More exciting partnerships are in the works and will be announced soon. Stay tuned and don’t forget to join us in our various social media channels found in the OP, for more updates and discussions, especially as we gear up for our crowd sale in Q2 of this year.

As a further note, the partnerships we are currently working and hope to announce soon will reflect our commitment to working on the ground with local business to promote real word adoption of Baracoin. From Day 1 Baracoin will be usable in wide variety of stores and services in a number of African countries. Beta Testers will be sought even before the crowdsale, so keep following for more info on that.

Our bounty program will be launched soon. This will include social media bounties as well as bug bounties. Follow us here or on one of the OP linked channels for more information.

Btw we have a telegram group now, check the OP for the link! Thanks!

We're proud to announce our partnership with Oakfin! http://www.oakfinfi.co.zw/index.html

This is a financial firm operating in Zimbabwe, involved in lending and facilitating payments to thousands of Zimbabweans, directly and through a variety of merchants, including the largest wholesaler in the country. Their approach of building from the ground up and helping individuals, not just with finance, but also with expertise makes them an ideal partner as we seek to have a positive impact in the country.

Baracoin and Oakfin will be working together to bring Baracoin to merchants and businesses across Zimbabwe.

Bug bounty is now live, see here for more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2806962.msg28711285#msg28711285.

True to our principles of building from the ground up and integrating with established networks starting off in the SADC community, we now have an agreement in principle with Tatemcongo from the DRC. We will be partnering with them to integrate Baracoin into their telecommunications system which already provides a number of mobile wallets, including Ecocash and MPesa. We will be also looking to provide a local visa debit card facility through them. More details about the partnership will be coming soon. Stay tuned!
