Yes
ZiftrCoin and GoCoin merged
AU_AG-09/24/2016
Well that is great news
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
That happened almost a year ago I think
AU_AG-09/24/2016
It's been a few yrs that ZRC has been out there. It seems that progess is very slowley happening almost at a crawl speed. What is the reason behind that?
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
Well the merger took awhile
I can only really speak to the last 6(?) or so months that I've been on the team
Platform was revamped, we got it operational, got the first merchants up, then had to focus on making sure all the internal features were working
AU_AG-09/24/2016
Has GoPayWin said what there vision is for ZRC or how the plan on accomplishing it and how they are helping in that effort?
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
I've been putting out updates about it
It's still the fundamental vision of what ZRC was supposed to be
AU_AG-09/24/2016
Where can we go to see the latest updates?
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
Just modified under the new company's perspective
I've been posting it mainly to the ZiftrCoin subreddit
AU_AG-09/24/2016
Is there a Roadmap if so where can we go to see it?
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
We haven't published a roadmap with any sorts of deadlines
AU_AG-09/24/2016
The last update was abt a GoPayWin wallet is that the update u are talking abt?
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
The series of updates I've posted there
the GPW wallet* is essential for getting consumers using our platform though(edited)
AU_AG-09/24/2016
Do You see retailers being open to the ZRC rewards program? If u do why is there so few retailers onboard?
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
Everything we've been trying to do with GoPayWin is about convincing retailers to join.
That's the main difference, in my opinion, from ZiftrPay
At this point though, the platform still has a ton of rough edges
We don't have enough integration options yet either
Those are two things we've been working on the past few weeks
AU_AG-09/24/2016
Final Question. What is the time frame that U realistically believe ZRC will be rolled out and a good amt of retailers accepting this program and the closed loop project to be opened?
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
Good question
AU_AG-09/24/2016
s
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
What's your level for good amount?
AU_AG-09/24/2016
I guess thats relative. But what ever amt would make ZRC to get moving. Definatly more than 3.
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
I think once we get the integrations finished, reaching 50 won't be difficult
That's easily done within the next 1-2 months
The big thing is going to be seeing how the platform scales, and most importantly how retailers improve in the checkout
If those 50 merchants start seeing a significantly higher % of customers completing their checkout
the next batch of merchants interested in signing up could be much much bigger
AU_AG-09/24/2016
That's Great to hear. And Great info. Im am so glad You could join me hear. To enstille confidence in this project.
Thank You for your time. And I hope you wil be around for updates or other member questions.
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
Yeah I'm around
Hope you guys don't mind the (questionably) unprofessional icon
I don't think you can change it per discord server
AU_AG-09/24/2016
No its all good. We are here for the great insight u have provided. Will be wainting in anticipation in the nex 1-6 mo
ShadedJon-09/24/2016
I'd be adding more updates on the subreddit if I had things to talk about
but the last couple months have been nothing but development work
Hey there!
We've ramped up development on the platform to make sure that merchants will find it easy to use our processing solution.
If you haven't made a merchant account on GoPayWin, let me show you a screenshot and some of the changes:
http://imgur.com/5DC03UmThe dashboard has been cleaned up entirely.
Orders and invoices list, you can create an invoice using our handy invoice form tool, or you can simply request a quick payment from a customer using the quick invoice tool.
Recurring billing is now free for all merchants, simply use the subscription tools to make subscription plans and to send emails out with an invoice to pay.
Additionally we have the Buy Now button generator, which allows anyone to make a simple embed-able button that'll generate an invoice for a product.
All of these merchant tools will allow any merchant, regardless of their technical knowledge, to be able to process with GoPayWin.
The next major step for us is pushing the integration plugins live, mainly WooCommerce, Shopify, and Magento.
Once those three are live and in the merchant dashboard, we can solicit all of GoCoin's merchants to see who wants to add credit card processing.
Thanks,
Also 2-fac auth got added

I understand the frustration at the price.
It's the lowest it has ever been.
What we have been working towards as a company is increased merchant usage. We're looking for actual utility, and promise.
That sort of exploration, that sort of premise, takes time.(edited)
I'm willing to admit that the individuals in this room, and a scant few outside it, are the last faithful few in the vision that ZiftrPay opened, and GoCoin seized upon.
The question left remaining is whether we will be able to iterate upon that vision, and make it into something merchants will use.
We've done all the development into making the base of this project solid. We've created a platform that any general merchant can use.
We've added the additional factor of making a loyalty points program using ZRC
And that is not something we will give up.
Any merchant that we sign up to gopaywin can use ZRC (now rebranded as GoPoint) to grow their business and grow the GPW community as a whole.
Anyone who tells you any change in the ecommerce space, and even the brick and mortar space , will occur quickly is wrong.
It's slow and meaningful change.
I was wondering, how big is the ZRC dev team?
ShadedJon-Last Sunday at 9:33 PM
I would have to count
Somewhere between 4-8
ShadedJon-Last Monday at 2:38 AM
I've pointed at this in the updates I've given
but the big issue is that most of the updates we do aren't notable on the frontend @Bunglee
I think about 3 weeks of devtime alone were taken up dealing with criteria our partner demanded on us to be able to process credit cards
ShadedJon-Last Monday at 3:23 AM
That's my masters in a nutshell
For the past couple months, we needed development work on the platform to get it up to par
The goal here (at least in my eyes) is to make a payment processing plaform that converts better than conventional plaforms(edited)
That's not something that happens overnight.(edited)
ShadedJon-Last Tuesday at 5:23 PM
Been working on shopify integration
Small update. (self.ziftrCOIN)
submitted 1 day ago by Shadedjon
This update will be shorter this week since we're still working on a lot of backend issues.
We're getting closer to having all the integrations done.
We've begun focusing more resources from GoCoin into GoPayWin and brainstorming on the timeline for marketing and future features.
I'll try to push out more smaller updates like you guys requested, even if there isn't much content for public consumption.
