Hi, I have added a graphic describing the process of distributing this coffee and what there is for everyone involved.

Since we are using bitcoin as the medium of exchange, I believe it would be best to use an escrow agent in a form of Coffee batch Purchasing, a process akin to an ICO but with the target product being the packets of coffee to be sent to one region/city. When a 10Kg batch is fully paid for and with the funds held by escrow, I would then finance the purchase and postage of the coffee to the appointed destination. Upon delivery to the distribution point and forward delivery to at least half the intended recipients, the escrow would then release the bitcoin held in escrow to my wallet.

Yes, there will be issues with exchange rates etc, but there are financial tools that I will use to hedge hedge against that, my go to being at bitmex.com.

So anyone ready to start this off?

The can is Instant coffee, but the other package is Roasted ground coffee. Getting the coffee to you is my largest cost, at about 2.5USD per 250gms, your local roaster has the advantage of scale which I cannot easily replicate unless I get into a wholesale (A container plus) partnership with a distributor. Locally, Kilimanjaro roasted and ground coffee retails at between 8000 and 15000Tsh per 250gm, equivalent to between 4 and 7.5usd per 250gm. A cup comparison between Mbinga Coffee and Kilimanjaro coffee would have Mbinga coffee being much more agreeable, better tasting and having an unforgetable aroma. Also, while poverty is a bad experience, it forces most farmers in our region to minimize mineral fertilizer application thus the coffee is as close to organic as can be.

You'll also realize your local roaster is selling peaberrry (lowest value coffee) at a price higher than the Kenyan Coffee, which should say a lot about Tanzanian Coffee. I do not have much experience with Ethiopian coffee names but do like drinking the traditional Ethiopian coffee (Ethiopian food is awesome, followed by their elaborate coffee ceremony and then finished off with Honey wine). I'd say that while Ethiopian coffee, including the herbs used along with it, is really good, Mbinga coffee has a testament of its own without any additives whatsoever.

We currently only package ground coffee and instant coffee, though my current focus is on selling the ground bean (never really liked instant coffee).  With an expanded market and demand we my also start to package roasted AA bean, to be followed later by the new types of prepacked single cup coffee's found in the current market.

The actual price of the coffee is 7.5$ US, plus shipping costs which amounts to 10$ US.

Hi, According to the world bank, Tanzania is still among the Least Developed Countries and thus according to Intracen most countries levy a zero percent import charge on both green coffee bean and processed coffee.

I'm in the process of setting up a rudimentary website, and then add features as and when the need arises. Meanwhile, I'm counting on this community to be the entry market since I believe most coders appreciate a good cup of coffee. With that in mind I'll be beautifying this post in order to be attract more interest. I'm happy to work with anyone in the sale of this coffee as both an end user and as part of a global P2P distribution network.

Often blended with coffee's from the Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya region, this pure Arabica coffee provides a highly aromatic invitation to its cup, and finishes off with a rounded full bodied taste. None of the bitter aftertaste and jacked up heart-rate I associate with most Instant coffee's remains, and yet a cup of this sweet smelling and easy coffee was enough to keep going at my reading till the wee hours.

Im going to share this cup with you, via a 250gm sachet to be sold at 10$ each. The catch here is that the coffee has to be transported in lots of 10Kg in order to minimize mailing costs (about 100$ per 10kg package).

With that in mind, let us explore the possibility of utilizing our already existing networks to distribute this coffee globally. My idea is to have a few representatives in each continent, to be receiving the 10kg packages of coffee, who will then break the bulk and forward to respective clients. Another option would be for the creation of pick up point within cafe's  or small shops within the different localities.

Please feel free to contribute your thoughts on how best to structure this.

What would be the potential of a 'surrogates like' farming app/operation? I see people playing farming games, What would be needed to interface a farming game with reality? So the lazy armchair farmer can finance the crops of an actual farmer, and share in reaping the rewards?

What does this mean? Are you looking to contract farm nuts?

How many of us here farm? What do you farm? Why did you go into farming?

How many of us here farm?
I'm an on and off farmer.

What do you farm?
Potatoes, Maize, Beans, herbs, Chicken, Goats, and looking to diversify further.

Why did you go into farming?
Self sufficiency, self employment. Plus it feels like an honest job.

How do providers in the travel industry work with this?

Two things:

1. Why does it cost 49cents to place a 1cent bid?

2. Why isn't CRX the default bid currency?

Why is my account not accessible at trollpayment? Or were the accounts reset?

Is ponz2 secure from Stake Grinding attack?

Refer to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131901.0

Cool to see the price is now 500% up, and stable.

What is the effect of the wallet update?

Thanks.

Edit: We need a pool for S.C.A.M.

Yes, upping the offer to 20 sats.

Wow, really nice distribution of ponz2 coins.

Sorry Mate, 250 Ponzi sent your way.

0.5 btc...

Anyone past block 385 on ponz2?

Use coin control to send your coons to another address in three or more tranches. That way, each input to the new address uses its own kernel thread, and the combine feature optimizes the staking.

Seems yobit is getting stress tested by LISK. Not bad if they can service the volume.

And thanks, received 100Ponzi from the first round.

Thanks Tilk for the 100.
