Great chance to jump on the board early if you are a miner too. One Baikal Giant A2000 Asic (does 1.6GH on x13) at today's network hash rate will earn about 600 MOTA per day, which at ICO pricing would translate to $150 / day. Jump on it now while you can 

Motacoin is a promising new coin looking to target the marijuana industry. There is a set of pre-mined coins used specifically for the recruitment of dispensaries to accept the coin, allowing the dispensary owners to have a stake and a financial incentive to begin accepting the coin. Android / IOS app is currently is development and mining is already live! Thew blockchain has shown to have very rapid payments with ultra low fees. We have already had many dispensaries and investors express their interest in this coin, and our founder recently made some good connections at the cryptoinvestment summit. ICO will be coming in the future, check out the discord for up to date information on the upcoming ICO / exchange listing. There will be 30million coins listed for the ICO at a price of $.25 each.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I can tell this project has been well thought out. I'd love to help in any way possible, although I'm afraid I wouldn't have much in terms of useful skills to give. I'll keep brainstorming and let you know if I think of anything else.

Cool looking concept. I like the general marketing strategy but would be interested in some more details on how that will work. Were you personally just planning on going from dispensary to dispensary and more or less doing a sales pitch? A referral incentive program may be good to implement, let the customers / owners do some of the marketing for you and incentivize their doing so. Getting customers to use the coin will be another important part, so perhaps encouraging them to offer discounts for people who use the coin to get customers to use it would be good as well (and would help offset the charges people new to the crypto world would run into). We will have dispensaries opening in my state this fall, so maybe I could help spread the word in this area

Having run a business before, I know my big concern would be the unknown value of what I would be accepting. My sales in USD are generally going to have a known value that I can track in my P&L, but all my sales in crypto could range anywhere from nothing in the future to a whole lot more. Not sure if there is anything more that can be done about that besides the 12% POS system, other than getting more and more established with clients.

What are the plans for ease of use? What does someone using this coin to purchase at POS look like to you?

*edit - also was curious about the initial rewards slated for mining. Based off the math it looks like it would take about 33 days to get to the 100 block reward. What was the reasoning behind that?
