MaryStrain.io website and concept feedback requested.

Hello BitcoinTalk Community,

We’re building a blockchain platform for the Global Cannabis Community.
We Intend to utilize blockchain technology to catalog cannabis-grow environments and techniques, consumer reviews and feedback in an effort to add a layer of anonymous transparent data to the global cannabis community.

Initially MaryStrain will use blockchain to empower the Cannabis Community by:

Enabling decentralized Grow and Production Standards.
Enabling an anonymous but verifiable consumer attribution.
Enabling Access to the only blockchain immutable, verified Cannabis data set.

We are asking for YOUR help before we launch our ICO.  It would be extremely helpful to hear and gather your thoughts and feedback. On MaryStrain.io and the Sensi token.  

Our website is https://marystrain.io Thank you in advance.

My take, is to do a bit of a better market research, because this sector is probably a lot more crowded than you might realise. First question comes to mind is, do you really need another marijuana-related token/blockchain platform?

There are many already. I can think of 2 but I know there are SO many more and they've all been around 3 maybe 4 years? Some focused on just being currency, others, like your project, aimed at the industry - farming techniques, what not.

Do you really need blockchain to catalogue all that information? I don't think you do. I think a lot of projects fail to justify the case for use of blockchain.

The only reason I could think of that people might need an immutable form of storing data is for verification of supply chain, but as has been pointed out recently, DLT may not actually be the best way for supply chain. We've got wine blockchains, food blockchains and it all seems fancy and dandy but think about practical implementations. For example, you need many actors along supply chain, and how do you as the final actor know that what was placed or scanned as information was in the first place legitimate?

Thank you Very much for your thoughtful feedback.  Much appreciated! Please see our responses in-line.

YES and here is why. Our market research showed that the other 4 dominant tokens in the space, have missed the mark.

It's a few more than 5, 1of 5 - Paragon is focused on supply chain (also just settled with SEC), - we see their problem being the farming/processing community not willing to switch for their existing solutions, not just for blockchain. 2&3/5 - are focused on consumer payment for cannabis - have been around for a while 3 maybe 4 years. However the market is trending toward federal legalization and once this happens Banking is no longer a challenge. the remainder are focused on hemp, which is a completely separate market.

Do you really need blockchain to catalogue all that information? I don't think you do. I think a lot of projects fail to justify the case for use of blockchain. - Yes, If implemented correctly in partnerships with the existing POS, & Seed to Sale software, the DLT will enable a handshake between the different software vendors.

The only reason I could think of that people might need an immutable form of storing data is for verification of supply chain, Prescription Information, Consumer/Patient Sales, Consumer/Patient Reviews.
but as has been pointed out recently, DLT may not actually be the best way for supply chain. We've got wine blockchains, food blockchains and it all seems fancy and dandy but think about practical implementations. Based on our market research and current trends, we are hoping to eventually provide reputation managment to supply and distribution. Something cannabis as an industry does not have, but exists in food and wine, e.g. Organic

For example, you need many actors along supply chain, and how do you as the final actor know that what was placed or scanned as information was in the first place legitimate? Yeah, going legal is HARD.


THANKS AGAIN!

I was trying to look through the team profiles on the website and some team photos do not seem to be clear. for example, Nick Foden's (Lead Developer) and Julian Zeta Zee's (Creative Director) Photos are not clear. Why is this so?

I don't think any investor would just send money to an ICO who's team profiles are not visible enough.

[buwaytress]

Well how about that? You did do some market research so thanks for answering that. Going legal is hard as you say, but I suppose there is no other way to start for the industry. And as you already can see with the predecessors, getting the framework to accept amd acknowledge is one thing, but getting all the other actors is quite another hurdle.

Aren't you thinking of at least trying to collaborate with the existing players? I still feel that the space is already too full and even the biggest communities are relatively small. Those actors willing to participate probably already feel the exhaustion of choosing, yet another alternative may further dilute that.

A consolidation of projects might be preferable in my opinion. And who would then turn their eye outside N America.

I agree completely.  That is a key diference with our go to market strategy, our solution will be available via an API, so the end user doesnt have to switch
