Topic: [ANN][REDEMPTION TIME!] BaliCoffeeCoin1 - The Waves Token That Turns Into COFFEE (Read 1380 times)

It looks like the balicoffecoin1 project is a bit interesting, I happen to be a coffee lover too, hopefully this project will grow and succeed, so more and more people like coffee .. especially in bali ..

 

You misplaced ann, you should make it in the announcement, unless you have a bounty, just post here!

This all relies on trust and faith that the coffee will be shipped in August. Also what happens if the price of coffee changes or the shipping costs change in the next few months?

Pretty risky if you ask me and sounds like someone looking to cash in on the coin craze.

Will be Avoiding what is probably a screw job.

social media campaign...

Very unique and good. I am glad to be able to visit the island again, I hope BaliCoffeeCoin1 can be a good project

interesting and creative project, like it, in the future I will invest 100-200 $  

Yeah, why use the waves token to buy coffee? If I'm a coffee lover, I will just buy it online directly.  And a lot cheaper. No need to enter yourself in a complicated world of crypto just to get waves token and buy coffee. I can't see the logic behind this. By the way, I haven't seen some Indonesian guys here posting in this thread. If they visit this thread and they are located in Bali, it's a good help if they can attest that this farm really exists or the team is really connected with this coffee farm.

you need bounty thread for this.

A good delicious creamy coffee project for this year we love coffee (BaliCoffeeCoin), I want to try to drink your coffee heheh
By the way I want to participant to social media campaign if there's any.
I hope this project have a delicious success !!!

Bali coffee is delicious man 

I'm not familiar with running a bounty campaign - don't know if it's applicable to a small-scale voucher token project like this.

Open to suggestions and ideas though - thanks!

Any social media campaign

This is unique and good concept but you are complicating simple things.Just sell for any existing Altcoin or continue selling for btc or eth.

This is cool ! I love coffee and would love if I could buy beans with an altcoin. I just want to wair and aee how this pans out let's first see what people have to say about how the coffee tastes. I only drink dark beans though.

So lets first see if it even arrives.

Waw I am support Project balicoffecoin1
Hopefully the success of this project, coincidence Obama was on vacation in bali Hopefully Obama can enjoy the Coffe from Indonesia, especially BaliCoffecoin1

Social Media Bounties???

Token Sale: June 21st, 2017 Onwards...

BaliCoffeeCoin1 tokens are currently available to purchase on the Waves Decentralized Exchage (DEX) for 4 Waves each and will be available at least until we arrive on Bali.

Farm Visits: July 7 – July 14, 2017

We arrive on Bali the second week of July and begin our harvest visits to the network of farmers we built over the past four years. We will check on the status of harvest and processing of the fresh-crop Arabica coffees and collect our sample lots.

Cupping, Lot Selection and Purchase: July 15 – July 22, 2017

We will be roasting and cupping our samples to determine which is the best coffee to roast and ship to our participants. My network of Bali-based coffee professionals, including at least one certified Q-grader will be involved in the cupping and scoring of the lots to ensure we select the best coffee for this project. Finally, we will make a middle-man free, fair value purchase of the selected coffee direct from the producer.

Redemption: July 23rd – August 7, 2017

After the arrival of the green coffee, we will announce the redemption period to participants here, on our slack channel, our email list and our social media channels. You will then be able to redeem your BaliCoffeeCoin1 tokens for your 250 gram bags of fresh coffee shipped to you anywhere in the world. Participants will send their tokens back to our wallet adding their shipping details in the attachment message box. We will be roasting and bagging the coffee on location in Bali.

Very good questions.

In fact, I DID sell direct-from-source coffee for Bitcoin - one of the first to do it I believe - way back in 2013 (when I first joined BCT). It was called The Roast Station Project. The original article about it is still here on Coindesk:


You can still see some pics and posts from customers around the world who received their coffee on my Twitter account:

Now, four years later, with the Waves Platform, blockchain technology has advanced to the point where we can do things we couldn't do with bitcoin including...

Create our own "market-specific" token quickly and easily and make it available for sale.
Create a token that we can use as a voucher for future redemption - allowing us to presell/crowdfund a project.
Instantly send, receive and verify other data besides payment ledger data - which has great potential for trading of real-world commodities.

And with this small project, I'm able to show examples of the first two right away to a huge market that needs to be introduced to blockchain technology (the coffee market) - and then work towards more.

Thanks for taking the time to join bitcointalk yesterday just so you could post your thoughts and ask your questions in this thread.

Wish I could google you too LOL.

So why you need to create a token for this? Why not just accept payment in bitcoin?

I have be honest I think this is a scam. I googled you and you used to sell get rich quick schemes. Not good for someone wants trust.

I drop out of conversation now but am suspicious.

Yes, participation in this is just a little more risky than making any purchase for a product online. Like every offer in this market, yes, it requires trust and faith that the product described will be created and delivered.

That's why you'll find links to my personal social media profiles and our slack channel where we are keeping participants up-to-date on the project.

Again, this is a simple, straightforward and small-scale project to show how blockchain tokens can help streamline payments for specialty coffee direct from source.

I have been visiting, sourcing and roasting coffee on Bali during harvest since 2013 so I already know my costs for the project - these will not change enough over the next 6 weeks to cause any issues. Again, we are keeping an eye on the Waves / USD value and selling to fiat as needed to ensure costs are covered.


My recent article describes the larger vision:

This all relies on trust and faith that the coffee will be shipped in August. Also what happens if the price of coffee changes or the shipping costs change in the next few months?

Pretty risky if you ask me and sounds like someone looking to cash in on the coin craze.

Will be Avoiding what is probably a screw job.

Thank you for your interest - and your question.

Our BaliCoffeeCoin1 token is available for Waves - and of course we are keeping an eye out on the Waves / Fiat price and exchanging some out to ensure we have enough FIAT to cover costs for this project.


I understand this project requires trust that we will redeem the BaliCoffeeCoin1 tokens for the coffee as we say we will. This is why we are starting with this small scale project - to minimize risk as we build our reputation and work towards developing our larger platform.

Hope this clarifies?

Interesting project as I love a to drink a good and pure Arabica.

$20 for good Arabica 250g, incl. International shipping is ...not so expensive.

My questions is how can you guarantee a deliveries after Aug 1, when the bitcoin price could significantly drop due to the hark fork. This could harm your income very seriously.

 








Summary: BaliCoffeeCoin1 tokens can be purchased now and will be redeemable from July 23rd, 2017 for 1 x 250 gram bag of direct sourced, roasted, bagged and shipped specialty-grade Arabica Coffee from this year’s harvest on Bali Island, Indonesia.



Today, I'd like to announce "BaliCoffeeCoin1" our first early-stage offer as we work towards developing our CoffeeCoin.io blockchain coffee trading platform:


BaliCoffeeCoin1 is a Waves-based token release that you can purchase now for Waves and redeem in July for source-roasted coffee from this season's harvest on Bali Island, Indonesia.

• This project gives you the opportunity to use your Waves tokens to secure the freshest and most direct-from-source coffee you will likely ever drink.
• At the same time, it allows us to show how tokens released on the Waves blockchain can be used to streamline specialty coffee purchases and improve the speed, efficiency and value in the supply chain process – a core function of our developing CoffeeCoin.io / CoffeeChain platform.
• This is a small-scale project that will be of interest to those who enjoy really good coffee and would like to see blockchain technology applied to real-world commodity supply chain issues.

You will need to have the Waves Client and Waves tokens to participate. Full details and instructions are here:

I look forward to bringing you a unique coffee experience!
