And to no surprise of my own, Potcoin has once again lied to their community and released fake news in order to drive value to their currency. Where is the integrity on this project and how much more deception will their userbase tolerate?

Check this out!

Quote
I am Francis Pouliot, the Director of Public Affairs at the Bitcoin Embassy, and in that respect I am the ultimate responsible for partnerships and agreements.

I confirm: there is no, have never been, and will never be any partnership or agreement between the Bitcoin Embassy and Potcoin leaders (nor any other "altcoin" representatives).

Thus, it should be clear that news article circulating that there is an agreement with the Bitcoin Embassy is entirely false. This is the definition of fake news

They have agreed to remove that mention from their press release, a clear admission of guilt.

Because I am horrified by the idea that the Bitcoin Embassy would be associated to Potcoin because of their press releases and media pumping, I'll share some thoughts.

How could they possibly think they could get away with this? Here is some context:

1. The Bitcoin Embassy is a non-profit organization founded in 2013. It is hosted on the third floor of a building which hosts numerous Bitcoin projects.
2. On the first floor of the building which hosts the Bitcoin Embassy, there is a physical Bitcoin Exchange called Satoshi Counter. Some traders there (myself included) often suggest our clients to use shapeshift to transform altcoins to bitcoins, after which we can buy the bitcoins off of them. In that case, the clients are transaction with Shapeshift, and not with us directly. One of the foudners of the Bitcoin Embassy is also a founder of Satoshi Counter.
3. Potcoin representatives were told by a trader at Satoshi Counter how they could use shapeshift to exchange their Potcoins, like any other altcoin, for Bitcoin, after which they could buy/sell bitcoins at Satoshi Counter, like any client does.
4. The Bitcoin Embassy was never consulted in anyway by Potcoin. I was notified of this news by a Google alert. There is no agreement, either verbal or in writing. There is certainly no partnership, nor contract of any kind. Myself and transisto are the only two people involved in both organizations, but there are many more different people involved with Satoshi Counter and many other involved with the Bitcoin Embassy, and both organizations are effectively completely separate.
5. There is no agreement, partnership of any kind between Potcoin and Satoshi Counter either. It's not a question of semantics here. As people, none of use would EVER engage in any partnership with the leaders of Potcoin.

Let's be 100% clear: this was an extremely unethical and deceptive use the Bitcoin Embassy logo, name and reputation without our consent.

It could have passed off as an honest mistake, but not only did they not comply to my requests to have them take down reddit post and tweets, they actually started negotiating and asking me to remove tweets and reddit posts criticizing them.

If it wasn't clear enough, and with all respect to this community, I personally am offended by the very idea that the Bitcoin Embassy could be associated to Potcoin. A more cynical person than myself would call Potcoin an obvious ponzi scheme which has no other purpose than speculation, and which is specifically crafted to create a sense of community to attract what traders will call "bagholders" which allow earlier investors to cash out.

Why would anybody merchant accept Potcoin instead of Bitcoin? What is the value proposition? It's like litecoin, but it's has a more limited market potential? And it's not even like litecoin, because the development team is inactive.

Potcoin is basically a gift card that only lets buy at VERY LIMITED number of stores. Who in his right mind would trade a liquid currency for that, unless you do it right away before a purchase because there is a discount?

It's a vastly inferior clone that is dramatically less secure, liquid or useful. I can probably do a Potcoin clone equivalent in a few minutes. Even the copyright information of Potcoin shows that it is a clone of Bitocin and Litecoin, just worse.

The Bitcoin Embassy has almost never endorsed any product or service. We would NEVER endorse any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin. Nobody in their right mind would endorse Potcoin, unless it was out of ignorance or naivety at best, and greed and in the pursuit of personal profit at worse.


Anybody caught promoting Potcoin on the Bitcoin Embassy premises will be immediately expelled with a permanent ban.

I have to admint I am biased, since I was very angry when we caught one of the Core members of the Potcoin team puting a sticker on one of our windows, which was a pain in the ass to take off. You know who you are, you had a baseball cap and were walking your dog and got caught by our cameras.

I continue to encourage cyrptocurrency innovation, but using deceptive marketing to enrich earlier investors is not innovation.

BIG UPDATE! MAY 10TH, 2017

Hey DopeCoin fans!

We have been working hard behind the scenes and it is my pleasure to announce our 2nd partnership with an online shop in Canada!

I proudly present www.shopthc.ca

This website will allow medical marijuana patients to receive their medicine anywhere in Canada through the mail and will also be accepting DopeCoin as a payment/reward system once we complete some more integration and API work.

How will it work?

Frequent customers will create a login to the site which will track their fiat purchases. Once the user purchases a certain amount of products, they will be rewarded with DopeCoin's which they can then use towards their next purchase or they will have the ability to withdraw the funds to their own personal wallet or an exchange of their choice.

Let's look at a quick example.

A frequent user buys $100 worth of product and is credited with $5 worth of DopeCoin's.
The next time they make a purchase they have the ability to use those DopeCoin's as part of their payment.

This simple system will allow the shop owners to provide their customers with a unique marijuana-related reward and will also force new users and interest into the coin on a massive scale.

As this is operating online and not in a physical location, the opportunity for growth, exposure and user friendliness is through the roof!

No longer will the user be forced to carry their coin's on a mobile app and then walk into a store and make a purchase, instead they can simply place orders online, manage their DopeCoin transactions online, and receive their medicine to their door without even having to leave the house.

I am not personally involved with the actual transactions or distribution of any of these products. But I am helping with DopeCoin integrations and in some cases graphic design and branding services.

Stay tuned, as this is the first of many new shops that will be popping up in the very near future!

Thanks for your support and for being a part of this community. Without you, we are nothing!

Warm regards,

Dopey

POT is already a success.

And there will be many others that it will pull up the ladder.

I hope TOIKES is legit.  You guys can start building 100s of micro projects on the platforms, ARK and WAVES are omens of things to come after the ETH ico floods drown the trash.

KUSH looks fake, G420 is likely trash.

The rest in the #420 chains look like they are part of crypto future.

Good to see you here four3200!

Money often costs too much.
CANN is dead.
but can be salvaged. PM me for details on how2do it.
rehab. yes. Go blackhat!
There is at least a new horse pulling the carriage again, BUT I think D9 has to re-engage again, too. Just doing something at least again, he's mostly absent.
Last login has been January for CannabisCoinDev (who signed postings with ~DeltaNine so it's him) and oh well April for YESWECANN who signs ~DeltaNine too but is stated Gender: Female inside profile, so maybe related. Close relative, perhaps. Gemini maybe? Is blackhat part of the expanded family, too?

mad respect for STV being listed at the iSpace stake pool.

i'm real keen on getting all #420s that are stake to have pools.
maybe better if the treasurer is multi-sig of well known community members.
that said POSW is going bonkers, and i don't think a major risk, but you never know.

stake pools are the next level.  
(for greater adoption)
brew on that.
