Re: [KOBO] Kobocoin - An African peer to peer payment/micropayment system
Had to move this here so it doesn't get lost
QUICK UPDATE
The new website template is almost done. I think it's an improvement. There's a lot to it but this is how the mockup looks so far. The very top blue bar in the shot below will have market details (price in USD/BTC/ETH and other African currencies) listed as well as the social icons. The image in the mockup is from the old website. The new website will have new, targeted and brighter images (so don't get hung up on the dark Shanghai image in the mockup below). I've already seen the newer images and they're a whole lot better.
ALL TEXT AND IMAGES WILL BE CHANGED - THIS IS JUST A MOCK UP TO GET THE THEME RIGHT

And below is what it looks like when it's scrolling. As you can see, the header is static and the blue top bar disappears (it's all the rage
)

It also looks good on mobiles. It's a wordpress responsive site.

There's so much going on behind the scenes right now but I'll leave it at this for now. There will be a forum as well as not many people outside of the industry know of BitcoinTalk. I think it would be a great way for new users to get immediately immersed in kobo.
BTW - I am now being contacted by the largest African Banks offering Kobocoin a bank account AND access to their global networks to operate on. I'm not sure one is needed right now but it's a definite sign that people are very aware of kobocoin's potential in the market.
I'll post a dev URL when I've installed it on our main servers. It will be a beta site so we can decide what works and what doesn't (just as we did with the logo).
ALSO
The new website will be SSL and have a trusted green bar.
TT

ALL THE MORE REASON NOT TO MIGRATE TO ETHER.... I am not anti-Ether, I just feel it would be a bad business decision considers the cluttered speed and required "gas" for transaction when transactions are automatically done via KOBO... In addition, KOBO network being light years ahead as POS coin, Ether seem too political and I don't mean in term of Politics in Africa, I mean the Politics of internal struggles for control and proper decision making for their own network.
