Ahh ok I've heard months ago that there is some joke project to raise scam awareness... But to be honest I am not sure if this will reach its goal. I mean where is it stated on the website or even on this thread that its just a joke? Not sure if this is the right approach to be honest since people even have this in their signatures it can seem totally legit for newcomer investors.... Not like they could actually invest in it but still it could be pointlessly confusing.

Please dont call our project a scam. We dont use any schills we dont have any bounty campaigns either we have airdrops. We dont buy followers and we dont buy Bitcoin Talk Thread pumps either. As a result our thread is basically invisible...

Therefore it is very hard for us to spread our word and stand out from the crowd of pumped threads. We do everything we can to proove the legitimacy of our project.

We probably goona loose a lot of potential investors because of this clear approach. Please take a look at our WP before judging us.

Thank you !

Wow this cought my attention. It seems to be so promising that it will be hard for us to compete with  

Just for reference I am involved in a project with similar aims but focusing on local merhcants. Our firm is an established tourist guide and travel advertisement agency and we do this for a while now. Not trying to advertise just wanna proove that I know what Im talking about:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4832534.0

So I have read the whitepaper. To be honest it should contain much more specific information about the business model in practice. I mean it is full of promises and empty statements about how the whole tourism industry cant wait to adopt this coin. For example the whitepaper states up to 30% discount on airline fairs. Is that realistic? 30% is pretty much the whole profit of an airline company on each seat. I mean I would be the happiest person on earth if I could fly around for 30% less only beacuse I paid with crypto. But why this would worth it for the airliner? Business is business guys airliners are one of the most profit-oriented businesses. Sorry but 30% seems totally unrealistic. I suggest to reduce these promises as I dont think real investors will believe it.  

To to be fair guys I have a very different experience with this industry. Potential acceptance points (for any coin really) have to be directly incentivized for accepting crypto. If the whole industry is ready to give such huge discounts for us then what will be their return on this? Potential price gains if they hold enough Howey ? Maybe. But if any industry would believe huge gain potential for crypto, then I think they would just accept Bitcoin. And they would have much more customers by accepting the most popular crypto.    

I mean seriously guys I am tryign to help here. We negotiate with potential acceptance points every day and we dont experience this "I cant wait to accept your awesome crypto" mentality at all. In fact it is the way around. They dont believe in price gains actually they are very afraid of price losses. Volatility is a major issue we are traying to address with our project and still we get refused 7 out of 10 times by merchants.

I think we can work on this and I support every legit project but when a coin is saying its gonna easily adopt and dominate a whole industry that might be a two edged sword. It think sometimes it is better to say and promise less then what is expected.  

Our official SubReddit has been relesed:

We will announce a signature campaign there in a few days if you are willing to participate in that.

Hello,

Thank you for being here. You ask a very important question. Actually the core of your question was one of the key aspect of our project. So the question is how customers can find these small local merchants and vica-versa.

The answer:

A key element of our project is the downloadable Meerpackr application. It is a navigation app (basedon google maps) with a built in audio guide and collection of merchants. This application will lead crypto customers directly to the premises of the merchants. It is very important as this is why we can negotiate successfully with merchants. In many cases their first obejction is the fact that they have never seen a customer willing to pay with crypto before. Their obvious concern is that they dont know how to attract these customers so they dont veen think about accepting crypto. But when you telll them there is a navigation database that leads users directly to their shop thats a different story. We guarantee them totally new crypto customers every day. Sure they are only incentivized to accept any crypto if there are customers showing up with such request.

Please read our whitepaper carefully for more details on this matter. It is basically the most important aspect of the project. The navigation app is an absolute key to our success. Without the app it wouldnt work.
   

Hi profall,

Sorry man I missed the total amount you copied. It is not 10 million !!!

We need much more than that so the starter price can be low enough. Our token economics require a lower startpoint as we had to set up token supply according to the needs of merchants. This has to do with ideal token price for a 2 person meal in a restaurant and other practical considerations. You can find this detailed in the whitepaper. Bottom line is that the Total supply is:

10.000.000.000 MCT

Sorry for realizing this earlier and feel free to contact me on Telegram live. We are working during CET timezone working hours.

Hi and thanks for joining.

The short answer is no. The merchant exchange conract does not operate with a fixed Token/Fiat rate.
We do not fix a USD rate. Instead the merchant issues an invoice to us for the sum Fiat+VAT value of goods being sold for Tokens.

This is totally different. And it is only likely to apply when Token price lowers significantly. Even then merchants are still insentivized to hold their balance. Anyway this is our merchant investor protection model. It is necessary as we have to address price volatility concerns of potential acceptance points.

Hi and thanks for joining !

The exact same question had been asked a couple of posts ago.
Please refer to that section for your answer.

Hi Okky,

What do you mean exactly by an ecosystem of supporters ? Sorry but everything is called an "ecosystem" these days which is a buzzword for sure but I dont see the real meaning of it. Our "ecosystem" consists of an application, a printed advertising magazine and the Token itself. We have a dozen of professional tour guides responsible for phisical engagement with users.
So what supporter ecosystem do you mean ?
A bounty program ?

Hi there !

Thanks for your constructive comment and in fact you are totally right. Your point is that why any merchant would accept crypto if not for future prcie gains. This is a really good question and in fact it could have been a weak point of our project. Or any crypto project really.

Here is our answer: An diverse audio guide application that leads crypto customers directly to the premises of the acceptance point. So the short answer is we guarantee new customers to show up with crypto. You are totally right wihtout this aspect not many merchants would be interested. In fact the management gets this objection all the time. Merchants refuse to accept crypto becuse they say noone has ever wanted to pay with crypto in their shop. So why would they accept it ? From who ?

That is why we came up with this business model. Your question leads to the main pourpose of our application! Very important question thank you.   

Dear inflr,

Thank you so much for being here. The company itself doesnt have an instagram, but the magazine editor branch office has.

You can find it here: https://www.instagram.com/havefunbudapest/

Dear delarey,

What do you mean by being invisible ? Our company is a leading toursit guide / advertising agency. As discussed earlier on this thread the management of this firm is not made of blockchain experts. It is four of us working on this from the blockchain perspective. Everbody else has nothing to do with blockchain development except for using crypto on a daily basis.
i can also tell you that we are one of the most transparent projects out there. We dont use schills, fake comments, fake followers, fake articles, bounties nothing like that. Exactly because we do everything transparent. We dont use tricks to fool our investors.
This is in fact our first blockchain project. You wont find any ICO history from us as we dont jump from one project to another. We are dedicated working on this and this only. Since we posted the announcement yesterday evening what you can find is all we have right now. Our external coinzilla marketing campaign will start next week. Believe me we are as transparent as possible. Unless you are willing to see my facebook. Thats not gonna happen bro I have some pictures from the past not being appropriate  

Hey thanks and as other addressed we know about this but it doesnt matter since that other token runs on NEO. If you have an ERC20 compatible wallet like myether than the only MCT you will find there is Meerkat. Should not be a problem. I personally invest in projects that I dont even remember the symbol of from the top of my mind. But I do remember the name of these projects. Dont make any action based on symbols.  

Hey we know about this but we wont change our abbrev for the Token as its on a different chain. Ours is the only ERC20 with this symbol so should not be a problem. Anyway I believe investors dont make such an easy mistake mixing up totally different projects based on their abbrevs... It could be a problem on tradingview for pairs trading but thats another story.

Hello and thanks for the heads up. We know about it its on another blockchain. Anyway tickers can be the same for many projects. One day we will run out of 3 digit tikers anyway

Guys,

I've found the original article about the SEC - ICO Bounty issue. Please evaluate for yourself:
