How are the Cannabiscoin devs going to deal w/ the fact that marajuana related transactions are illegal under Federal law?
At present if the government so decided they could shut down Cannabiscoin and seize all assets immediately. Just because this is on the block chain means nothing. If some from the AGs office in DC calls up Bittrex and Crypsy that's the end of trading essentially killing the coin. They know who the dev is and he'd find himself on charges for money laundering, selling marajuana to kids (it just takes one teenager to buy one gram of pot with Cannabiscoin from a friend to send the dev away for 20 years, etc.)
The banks were given vague clearance to go ahead as long as they meet strict reporting requirements:
FinCEN's legal guidance creates two new categories for banks to report transactions with marijuana businesses. All transactions will be labeled as "suspicious" and banks will have to file so-called Suspicious Activity Reports. Those transactions that banks believe are legal marijuana business can be reported to FinCEN as "marijuana limited" transactions. Those that banks believe may be illegal would be filed as "marijuana priority" transactions and would generate further scrutiny from regulators.
Frank Keating, president and CEO of the American Bankers Association, said:
"While we appreciate the efforts by the Department of Justice and FinCEN, guidance or regulation doesn't alter the underlying challenge for banks," he said. "As it stands, possession or distribution of marijuana violates federal law, and banks that provide support for those activities face the risk of prosecution and assorted sanctions."
Cannabiscoin is a financial instrument specifically designed to facilitate marajuana transactions and as such flies directly in the face of the law. Banks can hide under the figleaf that they "believe" a transaction involves pot but a cannabiscoin coin transaction will always definitely be for the purchase of pot giving no leeway re enforcement. Furthermore banks are required to provide detailed transaction history to regulators. Does cannabiscoin have the accountants and regulatory staff to provide this data? Here are the rules:
Also, how does Cannabiscoin handle the post 9/11 Know Your Customer rules that all financial structures must follow? Altcoins fly under the radar because the government could care less about people buying beef jerky, USB cables, etc. Cannabiscoin will actively promote the wide spread distribution and sale of narcotics and so will be under a microscope. Here are the requirements:
Collection and analysis of basic identity information (referred to in US regulations and practice a "Customer Identification Program" or CIP) Name matching against lists of known parties (such as "politically exposed person" or PEP) Determination of the customer's risk in terms of propensity to commit money laundering, terrorist finance, or identity theft Creation of an expectation of a customer's transactional behavior Monitoring of a customer's transactions against their expected behaviour and recorded profile as well as that of the customer's peers
Of course since these are valid and uncomfortable people the hurry and buy a ticket for a train ride to the moon people will scream FUD in great big red letters. Let them. Real investors need answers ASAP.
You can't just walk in a store and buy it. You need to be patient and have medical card. Secondly, as long as shops keep their bookkeeping up to date there will be no issue. Read first before making assumptions based on ignorance.

So what happened to 3 grams per person ? now its just a joint for the 1st 50 people? that doesn't really sound so inviting... i mean its not bad you still basically getta free Joint and some info about the Crypto, but what if you don't like J's ? what if you wanna eatable or a bowl ?
I think it should've atleast been One Gram per person limit for the 1st 50 people to show up then give the rest joints...
I dunno either way i'm not gonna be there...
This is still good pub for the coin and hopefully then next event provides better value.
You and the others are totally missing the point. This is marketing. When the first real dollar is touching the CANN coin to purchase cannabis, a statement is being made. CANN WORKS IN THE REAL WORLD, and no other crypto coin can say that. Prices will explode only because of that ! x420

Dear Delta9,
Please fix this "fine print" mistake before it destroys CANN. There is still time to fix it but please get it fixed ASAP.
There is nothing which can destroy CANN.. Only group of fudders like you and az420 think that way..again, you guys keep dreaming about CANN value would go down, it will never happen..I know you and az420 are from one of other marijuana coins, they send you guys here to fud..I'm very tired of explaining over and over so I report both of you and put you guys in the ignore list. Remember, you are fudding this coin, and your coins will get the same..just wait and see I'm in on CANN and all the other marijuana coins. I want CANN to succeeed! You're just ignoring the fact that delta9 made a huge mistake. I'm sure he will fix it though. It's an easy fix. You sound like a broken record
