Approved.

@Joint Force has been my apprentice for many years. He will do a way better job than me on this project. I'm too old to be taking on such a massive task.

My plan is to merge the open source code for greenaddress.it with the HTML5 cloud wallet that I already built. Greenaddress replies on an electrum server so I have to set that up first.

I'm pushing for more transparency in the ICO/Pre-sale/crowdsale process.


I see two ways of marketing an ICO that would be less of a scam

1) I have no issues with ICOs using coins/tokens to market as long as it's publicly known. I would like to know exactly how many coins are going to be used during the marketing of the ICO. If you have no other funds, then this is your only option for marketing.

2) If you want to market your ICO and you have cash, then pay off people with cash. Do not make coins worthless by giving them away.

3) Create an idea that people want to talk about. I would like to think Ethereum went this route but who knows. I guess this option doesn't work very well when media is busy putting together articles & videos for ICOs that offer them free coins.


This marketing of ICOs is becoming big business. I'm sure sooner or later new groups will come out and be more transparent. One of the reasons I released this "secret sauce" to everyone was to allow more competition to grow and join the party.






On a side note:
I would like to see an ICO with full transparency of how all collected BTC is being used. I would like ICO spending records to be public. This would help minimize ICO managers from buying their own coins and taking back the BTC. Even more important than preventing scams, I believe this would help the whole system as users can intervene with advice where they believe ICO funds are not being used in the best way.

I think a few people are working on things that will hopefully be released before 420.

"There's also the south end of Granville before the bridge (not actual South Granville) which is blowing up with dispensaries."
That is the area I'm proposing. I want to turn this area into "The new marijuana district". It's a pretty clean area with regular people walking by all day. It has many more benefits that will be shown later.


"BCMP, CC, Vansterdam Cafe, etc".
That is the old/current marijuana district. It's located 1 block from East Hastings a.k.a heroin/meth central. It has 90% less foot traffic passing by. This would be my second choice if I can't secure a lease on Granville St.


I have my proposal coming soon for everyone to review. Unlike other ICO scams, I intend to be different and show where all funds are going.


I don't think a kiosk would do much to gain popularity for the marijuana coins. I want to have a shop so that I can hold meetings and a conference. I will try to do things like beam in devs of coins for interviews with an audience at the shop. I want people to be able to come and hang out at the shop for free.


I believe if all the marijuana coins came together that we could build a group of coins that are bigger than bitcoin.

Not much going on lately.

GEO will be a legendary coin.

All software is moving to the blockchain. The cloud is already over.

I have used google maps before.

I recently became aware of an interesting trade secret on how to run a successful ICO. After creating a small crypto magazine with 5,000 active users/followers, I was contact by a company called https://koinify.com to promote an ICO. This offer included a payment of 5 BTC worth of a token called GEMs https://koinify.com/#/project/GEMZ . I turned down their offer as I felt this was form of scamming investors into purchasing GEMs. Over the coming weeks I started noticing gems being talked about on cryptonews youtube channels and blogs. I have researched koinify and never do I see a mention of this activity.

I wonder how Koinify was able to hide these gem giveaways for marketing purposes. Did Koinify buy their own gems and take back BTC as well? Did a big investor buy additional gems without receiving them? Did they hide this in the development budget?

Koinify has no transparency with how raised funds are being used. No one knows what they are doing with the gem funds any more.

Would you invest in an ICO if you knew the people talking about it were receiving 5 BTC+ payments to talk about it? Is this why many ICOs immediately drop in value once they are available for exchange?




I find this way of marketing of an ICO to be fully acceptable if it is transparent. Hiding these free coins is a scam. I would like Koinify to be openly transparent about what % of coins will be given out to market their ICOs. Investors should be aware of this before purchasing an ICO.




P.S. Sorry to pick only on Koinify. I'm sure many ICOs have been doing this scam. Koinify has the FACTOM ICO coming out in March which looks amazing. Koinify does a lot of good work. My only problem with them is this secret marketing scam to attract investors.

I will support this coin if I ever have free time. I like coins that actually have a purpose.

I just thought of this today.

Now I'm thinking how people can get a reward for their donation.

use case:
- Jeffrey donates 0.1 BTC.
- Waits 1 month (the first time it will take 2 months because it takes about 4 weeks to get merch)
- Get their 0.1 BTC back.
- Then I'm wondering if people would rather get an additional bonus of 0.01 BTC or a mix of various marijuana coins.

I'm liking the idea of people getting a return of various marijuana coins. It should create more community support between coins.
