Operation Zimbabwe

Trust is fundamental to cheating people,  and although after a number of people are cheated, that trust would go negative.  But by design in the startup to the con, trust goes highly positive.

The idea is to establish trust relations for small amounts with friends, relatives, acquaintances and business partners, not with random strangers.

Some updates:

The cell service used in Zimbabwe is Econet. Everybody uses buddie recharge cards to reload their phones in $1 increments. If there were a way to pay for these recharge cards online, I think we might have a break through! Researching this online but let me know if you guys find anything

I recently answered a similar question that was asked about Haiti.

We are working to create a Bitcoin community in a poor area in Mombasa, Kenya.  Cultural differences are critical, and the same will likely apply to Zimbabwe.

While it may be possible to reach a core group of technical users in countries like Zimbabwe, Bitcoin may have a more difficult path to helping people living in complete poverty there.

We're very active in helping expand Bitcoin to other countries.  If you feel the same way and want to talk more, let us know: hello@PikaPay.com
