Yeah, I have been searching for crypto project developments aiming at remittances here at Bitcointalk. And it seems 90% didn't pan out and just disappeared. However, ETHA remittance solutions might be the one to monitor since it is mostly lead by Indian crypto. And you know India is the largest recipient of remittances in the world.

I wonder why this thread is so sleepy, as I saw constant development on the project. Hope the community and investors will start to be more active in here. Anyway, keep the good work guys!

Bitspark launches their open Beta App on google play! Safe to say it's one of the very few token sales which moves quickly and delivers.

Spark's Sendy Global Remittance App Using Crypto Available Now!

Our last product update was the release of Sendy's closed Beta. You gave tons of positive and constructive feedback which we included in our new release. Now we bring you Sendy 2.0 (Beta) available on the Google Play store - open for public download for everyone.

For those of you who don't know, let us give you some background.

Sendy is a financial freedom App for the unbanked using crypto. This journey began in 2014 having conduced the world's first cash in, cash out money transfer with Bitcoin. Sendy's purpose is to enable anyone world wide to send, receive and earn money all from one App. Since our official launch in 2017, it was time Sendy was improved to match what our customers wanted.

Much of the reason crypto is not used by many is because it has blatant usability issues. Crypto products for the unbanked miss that they aren't tech people. They are very much everyday people trying to transfer value as cheap and easily as possible. Not a small feat even for the existing money transfer space - we have all experienced the exorbitant costs of Western Union and others.

Sendy fixes the fungibility issues making crypto transactions real to the everyday user. By removing adoption hurdles and prioritising experience and function - sending, receiving and crypto liquidation has been made easy for everyone.

This is another scam from the company like Zaca coin ...

Nice to see Zehpyr doing so well, don't know why the bitcointalk is so quiet

i'm sure this project will be success and get best rate on exchange.hope to participate

When you will list on the exchange, binance is the best place for you

I notice that only few views on your promotion post in facebook etc. Maybe you need a social media manager or a group for crypto on that.

i'm sure this project will be success and get best rate on exchange in the market.can wait to see this

wow interesting. I hope the Tajikistan pilot is successful. so is it necessary for zephyr to be in other exchange?

For those new to Zephyr  (which there are many  , welcome to all! ) here is a TLDR about what this awesome crypto does.

$ZEPH is a tradable rewards token for Bitspark's remittance network. The Bitspark platform was created in Nov 2014 after the team conducted the world's first cash in, cash out cryptocurrency transfer.

Fast forward, the Bitspark network now connects eight high vol remittance countries including Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, Vietnam and more ensuring customers can leverage the low costs of cross boarder remittances via crypto through our products without any tech knowledge necessary.

In October, Bitspark launched its Zephyr ICO which raised 1.3M. The tradable rewards token has a positive feedback loop where Bitspark grows its network by issuing $ZEPH as rewards to Money Transfer Businesses = more transactions and Bitspark using 25% from the profits per txn to buy back from the $ZEPH market.

So what now? Bitspark is in the midsts of integrating $ZEPH / buyback mechanism into products and services in time for the first United Nations Tajikistan pilot. The buyback and integration is not contingent on Tajikistan going through. E.g as soon as the mechanism is ready it will be using any transactions through Bitspark's  existing network . 

Lots in the pipeline! Stay tuned.

Thanks! We've had more coverage since then with more to come.
