Dear John Cooper
Your "white paper" https://www.cofe-project.com/ is a Brilliant! piece of Marketing!! Exact the right words! Thanks sharing it!
One time you mention ICO, no more; I guess that is how you will finance the whole project. I like that for many reasons.
Besides working 30 years in SriLanka, I'm mainly interested how to use the blockchain for sustainability, how to have impact on the ground; the landscape, to plant lots of trees. Including Coffee Trees.
Anyway, last year we started own blockchain ESI. It's a clone of the Nxt chain. I think it's the best chain around but we are evolving towards a IOTA like tangle.
We can offer you your own cofe currency and free transaction costs globally with nice UX. Lot's of work to do to support all operations on the ESI.
Also we have expertise how to organize the farmers, women and elite to empower them and so that they will disrupt the coffee business as I plan to do with the tea sector. Think the tea pluckers and small tea factories, best a water powered one, but also the traditional local trader. As I said earlier, we have all the right contacts in SL, for excellent coffee too!
So you the Coffee, I take the tea, each with own ICO.
Enough now.
Kind regards,
