I'm yet to find a Cryptocurrency that Is not a shitcoin,   and believe me I've searched. There ARE some better disguised than others under layers of technical obfuscation,  but all have intractable flaws that lead them to become either centralized over time,  or Oligarchies controlled by a small group of whales.

I've found a "few" projects with real potential for a breakthrough,  but they involve the creation of a whole new programming language and are no where near guaranteed to achieve the holy trinity of Secure/fast AND decentralized,  so for now we make do with shitcoins,  current tech right now is secondary (as they are ALL broken) to focusing on projects that have gone full bore on reaching the masses with Crypto by positioning themselves correctly.

And out of those few,  the one that swaps in their placeholder blockchain for the "Secure/Fast AND decentralized" ledger tech the quickest (IF and WHEN it is developed and released)  will be the coin that rises in that generation of Crypto.

Besides, All cryptos are shitcoins right now, no one's figured out how to make a decentralized ledger that ISN'T one yet. 

It's still a case of  Secure/Fast/Decentralized,  pick any two.

It's a "shitcoin" that's put itself right where it needs to be to have the best shot at mass adoption out of most other cryptos.

It's a coin made for the 99% ,  and like with VHS vs Betamax,  that's where success lies.
You look down on it because you're the 1% it's not aimed at.

This is a really dumb idea considering Starbucks is already planning on accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment. If you want to shill Electroneum with a publicity stunt it should be one that provides a bit of substance, similar to the Bitcoin pizza guy you are imitating.


And what would you suggest?    The hallmark of GOOD criticism is being able to provide a better alternative to the parts that are wrong.

Correct me where I am wrong,  and I will gladly incorporate your contributions,  that's what community is for.



Besides,  with the One hour payment times,  and extremely high fee.  No one is buying Coffee with bitcoin anytime soon,  and Lightning network is a long long way away,  but that's OK, Bitcoin isn't a transactional currency for little things like groceries and buying coffee. Bitcoin is the Gold standard,  the Store of value Crypto.  It's the gold in Crypto fort nox.

ETN has all the pieces to do what I need it to do,  for this test trial RIGHT now.    And is a legitimate company here in the good old United Kingdom with a doorstep and accountable leadership.


Have you been living under a rock? Starbucks is a part of the consortium alongside New York Stock Exchange that is pushing Bakkt forward. It is a tier 2 solution that is right around the corner...

I don't think Electroneum has much to offer beyond its role as a gimmicky shitcoin, but since it's the "mobile-centric" shitcoin, perhaps you should provide a set-up where you credit google play/App Store accounts for electroneum.

And I don't know why you are referencing the speed of Bitcoin transactions while trying to promote Electroneum as a quicker alternative by acting as a manual payment processor?
no coffes for bitcoin and even shit coin just like ETN scam coin.

ETN has all the pieces to be considered as a shitcoin.

Shillers will never try to understand about what are you talking about and they will always underestimate other coin.

Just because I'm acting as a layer between Starbucks and the customer doesn't mean they are going to have to wait any longer for their coffee,  should be pretty much straightforward from their side.  Scan the QR code,  Pay, Sit down and they get their free coffee brought to them about as fast as if they had ordered from the counter themselves.

That's not a bad idea, Thankyou!   worth a punt anyway....

Why not?  I want to see THIS: https://youtu.be/G9kfftkWJy8?t=48 being used in store by customers before it is even officially on their system,  it's quick and easy for customers to pay,  and they get their coffee as fast as when paying with Fiat.

And what things of substance would you suggest?     The hallmark of good criticism is being able to provide a better alternative to the parts that are wrong.

If you can help me with this, correct me where I am wrong (and when I'm wrong I wish to be proved so,  so I may become right!),  and I will gladly incorporate your contributions and thank you for them,  that's what community is for.

Is anyone here familiar with Point of sale software? I want to put together a mobile setup equivalent of this: https://youtu.be/G9kfftkWJy8?t=48

Simplified if possible, requiring only to punch in the amount, then for it to display the QR code.

On 1 screen if possible, but could always plug in another mobile screen.

I’m currently investigating and learning it for myself, but this will be quicker if someone is familiar enough with POS software and ETNs instant payment API to walk me through the process step by step, and direct me to anything I’ll need to buy in order to do it.

I don't mean to discourage you but how about we nation wide offer to tip in Electroneum. It will have to be in the less busy ones where the cashier can have time to ask what is that and how do you download it/use it.

Aironeous This tipping Idea is pretty good and fits into and enhances the main plan perfectly, What’s your ETN address? I’ll Tip you for it,  appropriate no?

Starbucks is an organization and every of it's branch are it's employees. These employees would never go out of box and out of the company briefing on accepting a random currency. If they did, it's going to the pocket of the person you talk to, not to the branch or starbucks. If you want something be done in starbucks, you should consult the head office.

Exactly. You do not just go to an establishment and offer directly to employees. They could get fired if they make a deal on their own.

How about the price fluctuation on the ETN, the app should be able to manage that to right, and also i think it would be hard for starbucks to accept it, if the price of the coins dropping after they received it from customers.

Hello everyone, I've had this Idea for something I've been wishing to do with CryptoCurrency for a long time now, that the Instant Payment system that Electroneum released has made possible.


I'm thinking of seeing if I can approach a starbucks to ask one of them to trial ETN,  and make the long fabled "buy coffee at starbucks with crypto" happen.

🍮 🍩

The Offer being for them to accept ETN instant payments for coffee (And being provided fiat upfront too which I will provide,  incase they are worried about loosing from Crypto Volatility)     So they will get paid twice,   both in Fiat AND crypto

So they would make double what they normally do,   half in fiat half in crypto.....   Incentivizing the Starbucks store in question to put the small amount of effort in to make it happen.                                                            
I can provide both the Fiat and the ETN,  so no risk to them.    

(I might start this very simple at first, £100 per day for a few days,  and ramp it up to something more professional with the communitys help...  I will Provide the starbucks with a laptop setup to accept ETN instant payments for them to use,  until they are able and willing to integrate the API into their existing Terminals(20 minutes work)                                                          

Then have myself or someone else,  either a community volunteer or a Hired PR guy in store with a sign offering people  free coffee for anyone willing to install Electroneum on their phone and accept enough ETN to pay for any of what's on offer,  like £10 worth of ETN.   For them to then go to the counter and buy a coffee in ETN

I'm thinking how to do this properly,   Just thought it would be a good idea to do a  small trial first,  £100 or so worth per day once they get the API on their existing terminals,  just  as a shakedown run.     As you don't want things to go pearshaped when the media might be watching (might tip them off that the fabled "Buying Starbucks coffee with Crypto" is happening).      Then Ramp it up to maybe £500 per day for 4 days.      Spreading it out will likely be more effective.         There's no need to rush this,  I want it done well.        

                   A single day would just be a flash in the pan,  a freak event.       Where's if you spread it out,  people see it happen,  tell others,  then THEY come and see it and confirm it for themselves.    What do you gentlemen think?                    

 I'm up for debate on how to do this in the best way.  And appreciate the feedback and advice,  as It's An Idea I'm genuinely considering carrying out.   I can Provide the £2000 in ETN and Fiat for the entire experiment.      I'd like to get in contact with someone on the team (edit: already in contact now,  and they like the Idea) so I can learn what I need to know to represent ETN in a manner they see as professional,  and in line with how they want ETN to be portrayed.    They along with the community can help organise the planning.              

I can carry out the job myself if needs be,   I'd just appreciate help and advice on how to do it properly,  as I have the drive and the resources,  just not the experience yet.

I'm willing to be the "Pizza Guy"  for this experiment.

Every branch of Starbuck  can pay by crpto?

Just an Update on progress, I’ve been in contact with the Electroneum team, and the response has been positive, They are going to read the forum post and it’s possible I will have the guidance and support, or at least a little advice from them on how to proceed in a professional manner that will have the best chances of a effective outcome for everyone.

I am also preparing what I will need for a tentative trial I will undertake myself before I have volunteers to move to the next stage.

Starbucks is more or less 28,218 branch around the world , and you will see that article on this site (https://www.statista.com/statistics/266465/number-of-starbucks-stores-worldwide/ ). It will be a good opportunity if you've got the Starbucks as your partner. Well everything is possible specially if you provide a good presentation for them. But it will be hard for sure, you need a good strategy and excellent proposal for it. So goodluck folks, if there's a will , there's a way.
