Bitcoin Forum

Hi everyone,

like the topic title says I would appreciate if someone could take a quick look at the following project called LOVE Air Coffee.
Just for the record I am not associated with or promoting the project in any way. I have applied for their translation bounty a few minutes ago because the idea seems interesting to me and I will decide whether to go through with it also based on the feedback I receive here.

They claim to have invented a new air technique of roasting coffee which gives it a special flavour. I am not sure what to think about that and have asked to see real footage or video of their roaster. They said that they will make a video about their prototype soon. They have two youtube videos on their youtube channel but it doesn't show how the machine operates.

I value the opinions of many members here and if it is not too much to ask I would like to ask someone who knows a few things about new projects and ICOs what he thinks about this.

ANN - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089494

To be honest first impression i got about this project was not so solid i mean seems like a fantasy kind of project but i may be wrong if their roaster and coffee will be really good then they can perform well and may be one day global coffee giant nescafe will want to buy this company but it all depends on how the things develop out i will just wait and watch for now.

If they have a roaster I dont understand why they are not showing it in action? Wouldnt that be their main selling point?
And why does a project like that need blockchain?

As you know different user have applied for translation bounty and translation bounty is limited,you can join other bounty like twitter ,signature or FaceBook , i think this is good project.

Better be careful with an ICO especially with this "Air Coffee". All ICO is trying to connect themselves with a product like this one a coffee. Don't believe this ICO and their team.

Thanks for sharing the project to us. As much as we wanted to share our views and opinions, I think it is much better if you research throuroughly about the project then give your views then we will give you our personal feedback. I suggest you start with the project team's background check then proceed with the project whitepaper and details.

What a vague project, selling coffee has nothing to do with crypto. Why are there people who think of such ridiculous projects to make money from investors?

it looks interesting, maybe later I will make a bath soap platform in blockchain..LOL... it shouldn't be all the products in the blockchain, it's the same as they make shares for their own business. if the business has a very large sales capacity of one business product, it will be much better

I agree that the coffee business doesn't need crypto or the blockchain. The only thing that caught my attention is their roaster. But so far there is no proof they have one. I don't consider those youtube videos as anything significant or proof of any working product.

First I examined your ANN title and I could not find a website. In addition, social media should be actively used as there is no activity related to them.

Finally, it was as if the visuals should be studied a little more.

I think the best review you can do for any project is to do it yourself instead of letting someone do it for you, I know you might think it's difficult but let me tell you how. The first thing you should check is the real life value of the project, that means you should check what the project has to offer to a common newbie just joining the project or will join in the future, also check how the team relate with their investors.

I wonder what's the connection of their product with crypto? It's weird and it's the first time that I have heard about this kind of Ico and it sounds fishy for me. I think a business like a coffee business has nothing to do with blockchain technology. You have to do a series of research on this kind of project.

To be candid about it,  ico project like does not seem like a project  that has any real life application and I don't know how they hope to achieve any real customer usage because people like the coffee the way it is and I don't think the coffee market is big enough to requires some innovative blockchain solution.

I believe that aside from joining this project for bounty purposes the ico is not the kind of ico i will Invest my money into because their road map is also shady and their team doesn't look legit enough.

Be careful especially in the bear market

Like it is rampant with many fake icos , they come up with stuffs that are so appealing to ears just to rip people off their fund, how on earth can you claim you have a new technology and wouldn't show it in action in a video to convince people it's not make believe. Mate I'll tell you this is not real, its a scam and don't involve yourself

Very strange if you examine well between coffee and crypto and what projects do you want to develop and emerge in the future? I don't think it will be good in the future because everyone doesn't think too much about ICO for now and doesn't see the seriousness of developing it a big burden for you to be more aggressive in promoting it, I personally prefer projects that are more realistic and reasonable than like this, because the crypto world is not a place for testing.

I think ico is dead. there is no hope for projects that want to raise funds from the ICO. and all the attention begins to be focused on the IEO, maybe this is almost the same but there are actually the most basic differences. that is about kyc, if the ICO is done by the project team, but currently in IEO, it is done by the exchange. I'm happy with this because it makes my personal data safer.

Well for icos
The most knowledgeable opinion is that you should do your own research
Then; be informed that icos are not entirely reliable and has waned due to ieos dominance
Be smart with your investment

My knowledge simply says dont waste your time on this one... just look at it

Really? Hmmmp.

I don't really understand the connection of the app to the coffee flavor. Also upon checking, the design and the choice of words are really something I wouldn't be impressed with.

I have a sort of feelings and emotion with this bounty. If they really wanted to catch people's idea then they must properly choose the right words, the right designs, and the right business name to convince someone like me. I also tried to look at the founders and I can see that they are lack of experiences. Please do not get me wrong but it is my personal opinion.

It's not only value but that looks so strange to see that and how more and more people are creating non sense idea like that, blockchain and crypto is not yet even common in the economic section and that's a suspicious one. I guess we must avoid such a strange project and it's much better.

Okay. I've been in the industry for a long time. I've invested in my fair share of ICOs. Here's what I saw from this:

1. Their revolutionary new method of making coffee was not shown. Why? This is was their main selling point. From the video I saw it was a guy sitting beside a big machine - the machine could have been anything.
2. What does it solve technologically? I mean maybe it's just me because I like to put my crypto into unique projects but I saw nothing here that couldn't be solved with cold hard cash. Why don't they just join kickstarter? Why do they need crypto? - something to think about.
3. Did you see the marketing video? Whilst I usually give leway for bad marketing videos because not everyone can have an awesome photogenic picture with awesome acting skills. But there was zero passion in that.
4. Pictures looked like stock photos from istockphoto or somewhere.

Tip: When you're investing in ICO's think to yourself - how does crypto solve this problem? And can money solve it if they listed it on kickstarter or somewhere else? If money can solve it then drop it like a hot rock - they are using our new unregulated space to attract eager beavers to fork out their cold hard cash when realistically they shouldn't be - also, good luck with them keeping track of market prices and trying to help with it.

Hope that helps!

In general I'd recommend not investing in an ICO unless you really do their research on them and make sure they're run by real people. ICOs are risky but they have the potential to really pay off. So long as the large reward is there, people will take the risk.

Honestly, I don't see any particularly interesting word on this project after making my own research. Who knows, maybe this project will shine in the future with a uniques idea? By the way, their bounty thread has a $100k bounty pool which can be a threat to the future price of the project. This type of huge bounty rewards is not safe considering the dump on the exchange after getting listed. Safe player avoids such bounty campaigns and they know better than new bounty hunters.

  I don't think this is a good ICO. Looking at their development team is not too prominent. At the same time this is a project that many people already do. So I think this ICO has no potential in the future. Think carefully before joining this ICO. I do not claim it is bad, but in my opinion it will not thrive

  That might be a good ICO. But according to my vision and understanding of ICO. Then this ICO will not thrive in the future. Because the same project has many people doing it. And this ICO development team is not very special. So think carefully before you invest in this ICO.

But joining bounties such as twitter and signature does not really help you so much, I think when you are preferring a job, think about what can it do also to you to improve, such as signature that aims to provide you the initiative to be updated and well known to the cryptocurrency market and how it goes.

Seeing that the opinions about the mentioned ICO are mostly negative I dont have that good of a feeling either. Thank you for your feedback.
I will leave this thread open for a few more days just in case something miraculously happens and we actually see a working roaster. If not I will lock the thread. 

You make a solid point. If they cant properly convey their message to users they wont end up driving many investors in. It's  about selling it to everyone not just those experienced in the crypto world.
