Hello everyone
, this is something something I’ve been planning to do with CryptoCurrency for a long time now, that the mobile Instant Payment system that Electroneum released has finally made possible. 😍
I'm willing to be the "Pizza guy" for ETN.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I’m working on a multi pronged campaign to get Joe public walking in off the street and buying coffee at Starbucks.
I have a short term plan for a workaround solution that will have people discreetly buying coffee at starbucks without requiring any initial support or participation from starbucks themselves.
And also running in parallel, a long term plan to work towards incentivizing Starbucks themselves to dip their toes in the water.
Both plans run in parallel, supporting and complimenting each other.
.
.
.
Initially before any of the plans really start, as a prologue I will be buying coffee at the starbucks I intend to hold this trial at, and tipping the staff with £5 worth printed Electroneum foldable wallets like this
Yes, there's a few etn on that wallet to swipe if you're quick enough.With an introduction to Electroneum, how its value is increasing, some web links to news articles, Electroneum.com ect, and instructions on how to install Electroneum on your phone printed on the other side of the A4 sheet.
All this in order to prepare them for receiving tips from customers in the later on, as will prove important for the long term adoption plan.
.
.
.
The short term grassroots level plan involves me, and volunteers paid in ETN acting as an abstraction layer between the customers and Starbucks, Similar to how Drivers bridge the gap between Software and Hardware.
And initially to kickstart things We will have a stand outside offering free coffee at starbucks, where people who are interested in free coffee can be guided on how to install electroneum on their phones, then receive £10 worth of ETN to be used to buy their coffee at the nearby starbucks.
£10 in ETN will importantly leave them change left over in ETN from buying a coffee…
And it’s easy enough to mention to them that they can tip the staff in ETN…
Perhaps even enter them into a raffle to win prizes if they ask to tip the Starbucks staff with their etn change…
All of this, as the backer for this campaign I will foot the bill for.

The spin off effects from this short term plan will prepare the ground for the long term plan, as mentioned earlier.
For example because of the initial groundwork in preparing the staff to accept ETN tips, the staff will be ready to accept the ETN tips from the customers of the trial.
“once the customers keep asking to tip in Electroneum then it shows the staff and manager that their customers consider it money. If the staff consider it money you are one step closer to getting it accepted by the store without having to sales pitch them.”
“The concept is if people/customers consider it money and employees consider it money, what is there left to sell the business owner on? Very little because it’s money.”

And then the other side of the pincer closes in, in the form of this community Petition letter, signed by and sent in by as many people as we can muster:
================================================
Dear Sir or Madam
I would like to ask if you would be willing to participate in a short Trial in accepting Cryptocurrency in the form of the of the recently developed “Electroneum Instant Payments” API in one of your establishments on a limited basis to establish its viability.
This is the first time we have deemed a CryptoCurrency to be viable for this Mass Adoption use case.
This would be at no financial risk to yourselves, As our community will provide not only the Cryptocurrency (Electroneum) but also we will pay up front the full amount of Standard Fiat Currency (Pounds Stirling) for the limit of this test (2 to 3 days and £1000 worth of product)
This is how confident we are in the ability of this new breed of cryptocurrency to fulfill all the requirements necessary to meet the demands of a commercial enterprise such as yourselves.
Essentially you will sell £1000 worth of product, Receive the full £1000 amount in Great British pounds cash, AND additionally receive £1000 in the form of cryptocurrency (Electroneum) So you will in essence be paid twice for participating in this trial, with the added benefit that the £1000 worth of cryptocurrency is likely to vastly appreciate in value.
The payment in Great British Pounds will also insure you against the potential volatility present in the burgeoning CryptoCurrency marketplace.
Electroneum also complies with KYC, and AML laws in order to satisfy regulations , This is the first cryptocurrency that goes this far in order to achive the goal of being legitimately recognized as a law abiding currency fit for mass adoption by individuals and commercial enterprise.
Consider this is an opportunity to show to the world at large that StarBucks Coffee embraces opportunities to always be at the cutting edge of society and technology by working with the British Cryptographic Community, and with the official CryptoCurrency of Great Britain.
Yours sincerely, (insert your name here)======================================================

I’m now doing the groundwork to get this ball rolling, one way or another I’m getting this done. If you hold ETN and you want to pitch in, hit us up with all your Ideas and lets weave them together into this master plan.
This thread over on the Electroneum community forum is also worth a read for Ideas on the easy little things you can do to increase Electroneums mass adoption rate:
