[deeltje]

Is there an advantage to registering for the Cellblocks sale early? Are there referral bonuses?

Besides the bonus plan?  That is the huge part. Yes, we also offer a referral program for people you refer.  Once you sign up for the whitelist, you will get your code.

I wasn't aware of the referral plan. I'm definitely going to take advantage of that. I love when projects do that because I think it really helps to get the word out about the project. Only 28 days until the ICO starts.  I can't wait for that 25% bonus. I think you guys are going to sell all in one day. 

For the first 4 hours it is up to 56% bonus

Oh, even better. Thanks for that info. I hope you sell out in the first 4 hours

I am asking myself what kind of economy does exist in prisons other than illegal financial activity? Not that I can't think of anything, but I just haven't been in prison yet. What's your system going to provide in detail to those being in prison? At first glance I thought you want to help them to trade back and forth without the administration being able to take notice.

i dont think government and prisons will be approve this. This cant be used in real world i think. good for traders some time   but they have good team and good vision if this can success it will be up. but transactions are untraceable prisoners can be use this for illegal works.

I think you drastically underestimate the need for something like this in prisons. You should look into it. I am typically pessimistic about overly ambitious projects, but I truly do think Cellblocks could get adopted in prisons. Especially since they are taking appropriate action to try to get prisons in on this. It also appears that the prisons are very interested as well.

You are correct.  Remember the state prison system is broke, this is nothing new.  Prisons are not a for profit business.   Anything that can help them save serious money, they will be open to.

I think some people just don't quite understand how the prison financial system works and they don't realize how powerful something like this could be. I think it has the potential to earn a lot of money for prisons, while still being cheaper for family members. It's a win for everyone which is why I think it's attracting so much interest.

I really like the "I just haven't been in prison yet" comment.  Honestly though, I think you have good questions and I'm curious to know the answers.

They already have, The Committee Manager for the Senate Judiciary Committee attended the meeting we did in front of the state department of corrections

That happens now, there is an estimated 2-3 billion a year exchanged between inmates each year according to a 2016 study.

Inmates turn anything they can get their hands on into value from Ramon to honey buns, cigarettes etc.   They also get items into the prison like cell phones and such from the guards.

This is a good point. Obviously the administration is aware of all of these transactions. And they can't stop it. So why not help the prison out and allow for more transparency? I think everyone wins in that scenario. Can you tell us how many people have signed up for the sale? I bet it has been a lot.

I think the prisoner financial system has needed reform for quite some time. I think those in charge appear to know this as well. I think this is a really good solution and you guys have relatively no competition. Has your team encountered any challenges so far and if so, how did you overcome it?

None as of yet, the approval process through the state takes a few months though.  We are going to start out as a pilot program in the prison they give us, then from there we will easily expand through the state as they see it working. From there, we can sell this to any state as they will start to pick up on the idea.

It's the same way cannabis started by one state, now every other state allows it in one way or another.

That's good to know. Obviously starting to get this project adopted will be a bit of a challenge, but it seems like it's going really well for you guys. I can't wait until the pilot program starts and people see what a great idea this turned out to be. Just getting one prison started will be a huge success because everyone is sure to follow.

[celestio]

It is intriguing to see how many changes are going on in prisons and how much they are trying to progress. Especially with things like allowing tablets. I bet that goes a long way for the morale of prisoners. I think it's great. I also think that really shows how much prisons are opening up to new ideas and I think Cellblocks could be one of those. I think this is a really valuable project.
