Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

PR stunt more than anything. Considering WAVES is based in Russia it's completely unsurprising.

Great utilisation of the blockchain services to run a royalty program within a fast food giant. Wouldn't be surprised if more companies follow suite as it would improve their overall customer satisfaction. There would be no issues on the technical front either as it's like a local blockchain.

You are right - it is genius. According to the following article: http://fortune.com/2017/08/25/burger-king-russia-cryptocurrency-whoppercoin/The Whoppercoin launched in tandem with a new loyalty program. For each Whopper burger customers purchase, they'll receive one Whoppercoin in a special cryptocurrency wallet. While the coins’ wider use is unclear, some reports suggest that the Whoppercoin will be accepted as payment at Burger Kings across Russia. That's a genius idea for distributing coins. I bet it starts getting used for all sorts of things - it just needs local merchants to agree to accept it, and away it goes. |

Looks that already not surprised by everyone in here, because the waves project based in russia and that was not make me surprised if the putin already supported and especially the burger king already accepted the waves coin as a payment. The chart already said a lot for us. |

Is this true, I mean, does Burger King actually own Whoopercoin? Or is it just an Hoax?

What...  ?? In Russia? Why did not Burger King start their crypto business where they started their restaurant with too many familier face? I highly suspect this could be just like a HYIP site. Russian owner with UK business certificate. |

I think it is just a little program of burger king in russia. It is not like a official coin of burger king. I think token will be a way to reach the mainstream.

The token thing is being so popular that every enterprise are jumping to it. Even Facebook is rumored to be issuing it's own currency.
Don't know what the immediate result be but in the long run block-chain technology is coming to everyone home.

it seems to me a false story about Burger King with New Coin and under Wave .. Why Burger King did not create a New Code for their coin ? Like in Eth you can create new Tokens (coins) same as like Wave.. If it is true then Burger King should have his own Fresh Coin Like Fresh Burger |

This is just another great application of the technology, basically they are issuing their own coin instead of giving "points.
It's a great thing that a big business is adopting This, not surprising at all they see it as "play money"

it sounds interesting but it is far from practical. it is too limited. you see a real cryptocurrency should be easily used everywhere, they might as well have given everyone coupons on a paper because both of them are going to do the same and a piece of paper is much easier to use than a cryptocurrency. and everyone can use it too.
in other words they have just complicated things for no reason!
when a shop or franchise starts accepting bitcoin, it is bitcoin, you can use it everywhere, you can get your change back in the same way. it is not limited only to that shop. so the hardness of using it is justifiable at least.
not to mention that with your own internal altcoin, you will have to explain to every single customer how it is going to work!
|
Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.
