[ANN][TKS]TOKES Platform | Empowering the Cannabis Industry

[kov]

So when can we expect some strong news?

Never. This will never be used for cannabis industry for one simple reason: why the fuck would they use some random ass coin made by some random ass people as a currency in dispensarys? The answer: They Wont. They would just use bitcoin or litecoin or whatever if that were the case, and many do.. But they are not going to use some unreliable project that is more than likely a money grab to get the "devs" a bag. No reputable dispensary is going to use this for "in dispensary purchases" and your "tokes transaction protocol" is a very cute way to say "standard cloned cryptocurrency". Nothing on their roadmap has happened, not even a shitty mobile app for the shitty shitcoin.

Edit: If you dont believe me, look at the first page of this ANN. Still just "mockups" and promises of things that will come "later". Its snakeoil.

Edit: "proven transaction model" more buzzwords. We can go all day with this.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'd actually encourage you to read through our Newsletters, as that's where we post the majority of the content. We maintain this thread for some basic questions. And regarding adoption, we actually DO have it. You can currently purchase cannabis with tokes as Pisos in Las Vegas. We've processed over $1300 in transactions in the last month and a half. While that number isn't a blockbuster, it's better that most cryptocurrencies can claim, let alone one dedicated to the cannabis industry.

Why are they using tokes? Well, because we are doing the business development necessary to get that integrated. Believe it or not, crypto is not exactly intuitive to implement into a business. It doesn't make sense to a lot of people. And they are intimidated by it. Particularly given the unfortunate cloud that surrounds bitcoin's use in the early days on sites like Silk Road. Many people still think the only people that use it are those that want to purchase illegal things on the internet anonymously. And who is going out there helping change that image? We are. And we're helping them set up and secure wallets. And we're also educating them on the numerous benefits that this technology brings to their business. The result is that they trust us, and they adopt our currency. Because guess what else, when something goes wrong, they have someone they can call direct via cell phone.

And, as we've clarified in newsletters and in slack, it would be redundant for us to build out our own mobile app for the time being. We've refocused that energy on more productive components of the project, namely a merchant gateway and building relationships. Those transactions through Pisos I referred to...they're all processed through the Waves mobile app, which is accessible on both iOS and Android. And the fees, they cost less than a penny per transaction, and blocks process in less than 30 seconds on average. So yea, that functionality is in place. We'll put some focus back on the dispensary locator and strain index when we scale up the team and have more resources to allocate there.

So next time, I'd suggest doing a little research before you post derogatory information erroneously. Just makes you look foolish.


Edit: We're also ahead of schedule on most items on that roadmap.

Edit: Check back in next month's newsletter for a full description of our revised business model and accompanying website.

As far as I know they've put the plans to release their own wallet on hold for now to focus on more urgent aspects. The regular Waves wallet works absolutely fine however.

Hi bityinvestor. We're currently targeting and supporting Las Vegas (NV) exclusively from a 'company' perspective due to licensing and manpower requirements. However, tokes is an open-sourced platform, built on the waves blockchain, so there is nothing preventing you from adopting the technology in your business. When our merchant gateway is complete, it will provide a turnkey solution to accept tokes online for payment, as well as several other supported cryptocurrencies as we build them in. We have an internal alpha in testing, but I suspect it will be a few weeks/months until we're ready to deploy a beta to the broader community. However, it's functionality includes a LOT of beneficial features for ANY merchant interested in accepting tokes. We'll be producing an explainer video for this in the coming weeks.

If you're transacting legally online, I have to assume you live in Canada? Obviously there is huge market potential in Canada, and a region we will aggressively move into as soon as possible. I just read an article over the weekend that puts early estimations on revenue across the country at $22 billion, and I can assure you we want to assist with processing those transactions. Working as quickly as we can, so hopefully have more for you in the near future. If you have general questions on how to implement the tech, I'm more than happy to connect with you directly. Please shoot me a DM here and we can put something together.

This is correct. Dedicated wallets are still on our roadmap though, just pushed out a bit longer

Dopey is a good guy. I've opened up a line of communication with him to discuss some potential 'joint' efforts. I like what he's doing with the advertising platform...

Tokes team,

On behalf of CHEX, we wish you luck on your project, it is promising and the industry needs it. Our token sale is also for Cannabis, as the first industry we're powering supply chain/b2b marketplace platforms in (beta launched).

If there's any way we can help and collaborate, the door is open. I'm in LA if you're in town.

Feel free to drop any feedback on our project:

Please tell me know when your dev burn coin? tks.

We're not looking at burning any tokens in the immediate future, as that is our sole source of funding this project. However, we're very transparent in our funding activity, and produce a quarterly transparency report with all of the corporate reserve wallets. The last one was on 6/30, but I'll have an updated report out in the next few days for end of Q3. Here's a link to Q2: http://cannabisrevolution.us/index.php/2017/07/04/728/

 I'd like to ask a couple of important business questions because I'm considering investing in your token

What is your game plan to onboard drawers and sellers? Do you have a team of dealmakers in sales been going out there and meeting with people?

Unless you do this this is just another weed token that's going to go nowhere

It's a good question TheMuppet, and I'm glad you asked. We don't have a full 'team' per se, but we do have feet in the street discussing the integration of our platform and digital currency into real world businesses (dispensaries). It's how we were able to onboard our first client, Pisos, into our pilot program. We'll be ramping up the number of dispensaries in the program over the coming weeks and months. As we grow we will be working on scaling up our team, including people who can serve in a sales capacity. All part of our growth strategy.
