Title: SEARS considering altcoins as a loyalty program for shoppers Post by: marine4u on August 18, 2014, 04:04:43 PM There is still hope for some altcoins, this is a promising message that I received from an upper management of a major corporation. http://mobile.marinecoin.org/download/stuff/other/searsmail.png Marinecoin Dev Title: Re: SEARS considering altcoins as a loyalty program for shoppers Post by: Blazr2 on August 18, 2014, 04:13:22 PM Too bad it looks more like a last desperate grab for attention from this dying brand in its death throes rather than a boon for coins.

There is also a market for this. I have a 1% cash back credit card and have for the last 3 years made the point of purchasing XBT with the credit card reward money. If a credit card issuer were to pay directly in XBT deposited directly into my XBT wallet. I would have a great incentive to switch just for the convenience of not having to 1) Cash the cheque from the credit card company, 2) Deposit the funds into an exchange, 3) Purchase the XBT, and 4) withdraw XBT to my XBT wallet.
By the way I do have a SEARS Mastercard but I hardly ever use it. Edit: I would also accept payment in XMR but I doubt I would at this point accept another alt-coin.

They would never adopt any other coin other than Searscoin.

Still, it's interesting. If you're Canadian, you can't help but know of "Canadian Tire Money (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Tire_money)." I've been thinking of Canadian Tire "Money" as a specialized cryptocurrency long before its time...

They wouldn't; it appears as if they are asking for some consultation. I would provide it to them, why not. Title: Re: SEARS considering altcoins as a loyalty program for shoppers Post by: MisO69 on August 20, 2014, 04:00:32 AM I would think that if Sears or any major retailer wanted a rewards coin they would simply make their own. To be used exclusively in their own store. It will never be LTC or BTC.
Why would Sears want their clients shopping and spending their rewards at another store. The idea behind it is to get the customers to come back and buy more crap. Canadian Tire money for instance. I call BS on this post.

At the current rate people invest in crypto for profit, what Marinecoin created on bidcoind.com is a testament of the retail side of crypto, which is a complete joke, However Marinecoin will continue to remain strong on the merchant side, more quality items will be offered for sale in exchange for MTC. http://mobile.marinecoin.org/download/stuff/tweet1.png Title: Re: SEARS considering altcoins as a loyalty program for shoppers Post by: marine4u on August 24, 2014, 11:14:59 AM Why the fuck would sears take on Marinecoin if they ever do it's going to be btc and ltc.

I have had many consultations over the past year many ended with the party asking for free coins, we don't handout free MTC, we respect the miners, Miners of Marinecoin always come first, |
