No need to switch to another chain just in order to be able to trade game assets or rustbits directly for BTC. This is now possible with the new integration of BTCpay in the freewallet.io implementation of the Counterparty DEX. Those that already have donated to this wallet's donation address or bought one of the dev's Rare Pepe Cards called XCHAINPEPE now have full access to BTCpay and simplified trading on the DEX from inside freewallet. If you have not yet donated to development of this wallet, please do so now and enjoy the advantages of the new additions.

you can find all the details in the Whitepaper. It is listed on the website bananacoin.io  It shows how much money they need to raise to expand the total cultivated surface by 360 ha. something like a little over $7 million USD equivalent in BTC and ETH needs to be raised. So depending on the price of each token sold, will be how many BCO will be the total cap in the end. Note some 1 million tokens were sold a $0.25 each on the presale already, and some 600,000 more tokens on private sale (not sure exactly at what price). The price at the ICO will be $0.50.

FYI you are already on the Bananacoin ICO ANN thread 

according to this site, the ICO will start on Nov 29 and end on Dec 30. https://icotracker.net/upcoming

Please repost your original question that you say did not get answered. I have not seen the organizers of this project intentionally leaving any questions unanswered. However if you already decided this is a scam (which it is not) I suggest you go troll elsewhere.

Actually, I think that those that participate in the private sale going on now will get some shares in the business or something similar.

There is a private sale for such big investors advertised right now on the website https://bananacoin.io and you can just follow the instructions to get in touch directly with the founders to discuss your investment. Also they are available to chat on the telegram group where you can send them a DM.

The founders of this project have repeatedly stated that anyone is welcome to visit the plantation, as long as they advise sufficient time ahead of arrival when they plan to come so that arrangements can be made for giving you the tour and to get instructions how to find the place and accomodations to the visitors. Apart from that, they did hold a lottery among the pre-sale participants already and will give the 3 winners that were randomly chosen a free trip to visit the place and then show everyone a video of that visit and testimony of the winners so everyone can see this is a real existing and working plantation not a scam.

The plantation is located in Laos, not China. The market is in China. Chinese plantations are using too many toxic pesticides which is why they were shut down by the Laos government recently, which opens an opportunity fot this project to step in and take their place with organically grown bananas. There is great demand for bananas in China that cannot currently be filled by supply. So in fact the company is holding the ICO exactly with the goal of expanding their current acreage that they already have under cultivation to around 4 times the surface area. Laos is already located in Southeast Asia, so that part is already covered also. All this is described in the documentation and youtube videos you can find linked on the website.

There are no rules against using organic fertilizers to produce organic bananas. The plantation operators use bat guano as fertilizer, as they have stated in the documentation that they have published about this project. Also, they already have produced 3 years worth of successful harvests on their current 100 ha plantation so I would guess that they are quite capable of knowing what organic fertilizers will give the plants the needed nutrients and minerals to produce a good yield.

They will give away trips to the plantation to 3 Pre-ICO participants, and you can also feel free to come and visit at any time if you don´t win the lottery. Just be sure to let them know a bit ahead of time when you plan to visit so they can make arrangements for you to find the location and for accomodations.

I suggest you actually read the whitepaper and other materials provided on the website at https://www.bananacoin.io before coming to that conclusion. The company has been successfully farming 100 ha of banana plantation organically to get a competitive edge in the chinese exportation market for 3 years already. This is not a vaporware ICO as many others that are based on some possibly great ideas that may or may not turn into anything tangible or profitable at all. The founders are transparent with providing data to back up their claims. No need to ridicule the project solely based on the choice of crop they made. There are many successful commercial banana plantations in many countries around the world. The innovation here is the manner of fundraising chosen to finance the expansion of the existing plantations acreage based on unfilled demand in the chinese market, while allowing people from around the world to participate, not just some small group of big VCs or local funding agencies that each would want to get a say in the projects decision making process.

I suggest we give this project a chance to shine and wait with the FUD and complaining until when there are milestones missed or communication from the team suddenly grinds to a halt (as has happened with many other ICO funded projects that got people exited at first and then turned out to be duds).

The project is in Laos, Vientiane province. Funds will be used to expand the area under banana cultivation by 360%.

You can find all the pertinent information in the whitepaper https://www.bananacoin.io/files/Bananacoin_Eng_wp_1.4.pdf and on their website at https://www.bananacoin.io/
