Where can I use CCN to buy MMJ? I am not in a place where CANN can be used. Also the logo is kind of dumb IMO, but I am no arbiter of taste so take that opinion with a grain of salt. I am more interested in where the coin can be used, i.e. which states.?
Hmm, well if you are in Oregon or Washington I am sure you can find some people to trade Cannacoin for Cannabis.
Why are people waiting for dispensaries to utilize cryptocurrencies? Why do they need a central authority to do things for them and make them use this technology for it's true purpose? Peer-to-peer transactions with no central point of failure for the network/economy.
Let's be realistic, everyone wants to get rich quick and they expect dispensaries to go utilize cryptocurrencies without actually building any infrastructure or contributing real value to the network. A lot of people think buying a cryptocurrency is investing but this is not the case. Speculating on the value of a cryptocurrency is really pointless and leads to people holding big bags of cryptocurrencies that they will never be able to liquidate.
I believe that Bitcoin should be the primary focus for dispensaries as it is the only cryptocurrency with enough liquidity and infrastructure to make it worth using at this point in time.
Ask yourselves, does a dispensary accepting cryptocurrency make people's lives easier or better? Why? Are they even legally allowed to accept cryptocurrencies and stay within compliance in medical states where every sale is logged and traced to a patient with proprietary point-of-sale software? Colorado is an exception in many ways. Oregon will likely be similar to Colorado.
If Potcoin, Cannacoin, CannabisCoin are such wonderful solutions then where are the dispensaries falling over themselves to add these payment options? Maybe because it is pointless right now? Maybe because it is legally a grey area? Maybe because dispensaries don't want to get raided by federal authorities for financial crimes? There's a lot of reasons why Cannabis businesses see a lot of risk associated with accepting cryptocurrencies at this point in time. A lot of dispensaries offer free pre-rolled joints to new patients as well as with purchase of other products. A lot of patients don't even smoke Cannabis!
Pegging-schemes are pointless if they are not realistic. What if I don't want to buy 1 Gram? What if I want to buy 1 ounce or 1 pound? Can this price-peg accommodate me as a customer?
Cannacoin is focusing on building innovative solutions and maintaining a strong community - we are not interested in over-promising and under-delivering. We are not interested in manipulating the Cannabis community into buying our cryptocurrency. This is why we have a 0% premine for Cannacoin and spent months researching the protocol specifications before releasing the coin.
Cannacoin is fun and if you guys came to hang out in our Freenode IRC #Cannacoin you would see we have a wonderful community of developers and cannabis enthusiasts.
No, but on a serious note great to see all the strides you have done from one coin dev. to another great job! I can relate to be a lightening rod for the good and the bad no doubt...
