I read with great interest the Telegraph story about the big brands signing up to your service which could make groceries considerably cheaper for shoppers. Is this something you're thinking of taking to Australia?
We plan to choose cities for expansion based on the population size, income level and grocery market concentration ratio. The map below presents a preliminary list of cities, which might be subject to change as we progress with the project. thank you for getting back to me. Cheers. What other cities is this service right now currently available? The outlined cities ( in GEOGRAPHICAL EXPANSION PLAN and when - roadmap plan) are the ones of our primary interest We envisage 3rd party fulfilment operators to join INS platform at the latter stage to allow other cities to enjoy cheaper groceries delivered with convenience as well! I haven't received the map just yet - should it have come through?

So at this stage, based on that paper, there are no plans to roll this out to any Australian cities?

Great. And if I wanted to contact someone from the team for an interview, what would be the best way to do that?

Guys, how do you think, what's the point of smart contracts, in general

Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into lines of code. The code and the agreements contained therein exist across a distributed, decentralized blockchain network. If to speak in general

Smart contracts permit trusted transactions and agreements to be carried out among disparate, anonymous parties without the need for a central authority, legal system, or external enforcement mechanism.

And how it works technically?

And how it works technically? Well, the platform itself is designed as a very high-load system. Just imagine,the market potential for the INS ecosystem consists of billions of users, each of them making dozens of orders per year. So the main focus is on performance, in which you want to see smart contracts support, predictability, stability, and ease of use. I hope the INS guys plan to use the most proven and scalable open source technologies and constantly monitor alternative technical implementations.

As the existing blockchain platforms such as Ethereum have inherent limitation in transaction bandwidth, and prospective platforms and frameworks are only in the development stage, INS also consider designing and developing their own INS blockchain platform in the future, where nodes are selected from a semi-trusted set of supporters.

They also said earlier that the state of the INS blockchain will be regularly anchored to the most popular smart contract ledgers (at least ETH) so that proofs of state and proofs of transaction (within INS) can be verified by Ethereum smart contracts (like it is currently done in BTCRelay or will be done in the future in Plasma).

Common optimization techniques such as state sharding and payment channels will be also implemented.

Oh, I think it will be more than interesting with their own blockchain platform, eager to see it already!

Agree, implementing such a system looks really promising!

Well,yes, and I like the idea to allow consumers to directly buy from manufacturers. But, how is the system decentralized when consumers are buying from manufacturers and there's still a link in the chain which are the fulfillment centers who can influence the price (because they need to be payed as well)?

Of course, someone has to deliver food and provide other fulfilment operations. I think, fulfilment charges will be included in final prices. But all these charges will be open and tranparent for every customer.

How is INS going to take into account the many regulations and taxes that are currently in place when dealing with food products? For instance, many countries have there own laws for certain types of foods that are (dis)allowed within their borders.
