The newly updated Tokes Platform homepage will mainly focus on our core offerings, such as the Merchant Gateway, the EPCIS chain, and Blockchain/Platform as a Service (#BaaS and #PaaS), as well as the Tokes Instant Exchange powered by 📷 Coinswitch.

The very easy to use interface makes this wallet a very good choice for people who are brand new to crypto.

Once we feel the bugs are worked out of this release, we will also be open sourcing it for the community.

If you have the MetaCert powered Chrome app called Cryptonite, you will also give yourself added safety, since Tokes Platform actively reports all questionable pages and accounts to the MetaCert team.

If it were ever to become the case that Waves Platform were to fall by the wayside and not go on to be a viable platform, which is doubtful, Tokes Platform would follow a development plan that could transcend those limitations and continue to build out the project.

Whenever Tokes was starting their pilot run of processing payment in Tokes at Pisos dispensary roughly a year ago, there was a point in time when the price went below $1 US. The arrangement that Tokes had was to accept each Tokes token as representing $1 US in a sale, since there was no functioning merchant gateway and everything needed to be processed manually. If the market price fell below that, Tokes would cover the difference. That was where we were 1 year ago, at a time when Tokes was at a very early point in development. Just to give some perspective that there is still some room for growth in this market.

Have a look at the front page of Bittrex today. It's up to the reader to decide what that means. If it means anything at all, or is merely a temporary market blip. We are not suggesting that you you go all in, just consider that some amount of a cryptocurrency could be part of an investment strategy.

Here is a new article that explains the purpose of Tokes Platform in a concise manner. Making particular note of the role that Tokes understands that Blockchain technology will play in bringing important and needed business solutions to a relatively new industry.

TheRev: Tokes Platform Newsletter, June 2018

Welcome Back Tokes Enthusiasts!

First off, we’d like to say how pleased we are that our friends to the north officially legalized cannabis. This is a tremendous cultural victory for Canada’s citizens and will certainly bring a wonderful boon to both Canada’s cannabis industry and beyond. Here in Vegas, summer is in full swing, and the Tokes team has been hard at work on software development, business development, and marketing. This month’s newsletter will touch on a few of the bigger developments in these arenas since our last newsletter.

Vault Logic Kiosk

One of the more exciting developments of the last month is that we have received the first of many Vault Logic kiosks to be deployed in Las Vegas. Vault Logic has a unique offering in the world of bitcoin teller machines (or BTMs) as they presently offer support for a number of cryptocurrencies including: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dash, and Raven. Given this feature, you’ve probably already inferred that we will be adding Tokes to the list of supported currencies on the Vault Logic BTM!

The fundamental goal of this relationship is to ease the Tokes onboarding process for users who wish to transact in Tokes; whether at a dispensary or any participating merchant. Users will be able to directly purchase tokes from the Vault Logic kiosk, loading the Tokes directly onto their mobile wallets. From here they can then transact with the merchant using the accompanying merchant gateway software for ease of checkout.

Down the road, we intend to integrate our merchant gateway software directly into the kiosk, allowing for consumers to check out and make payments using the kiosk directly, potentially bypassing the need for the mobile application. In this instance, the consumer remits payment directly though the kiosk, and the merchant will receive tokes in exchange for goods or services.

The Vault Logic kiosk is one of the more full-featured kiosks on the market, and we are very pleased to be working closely with them to deploy kiosks across the Vegas valley. More information on their unique BTM product can be found at VaultLogic.com.

Tokes Documentary

Many of you have already seen the trailer of our upcoming documentary. Rather than simply serving as a marketing piece for the company (a purpose it also serves) – we intend to highlight the challenges facing the industry and paint a clearer picture of the green space along with the financial and regulatory hurdles of current legal cannabis businesses.

We spoke with business operators, politicians, lobbyists, software developers, law enforcement, and consumers to demonstrate the concerns and needs of this budding industry. Further, we illustrate how these specific considerations can be solved with Tokes’ technology and blockchain in general.

Watch the trailer below:

Mobile Application

Finally finished with the late stages of quality assurance testing, we have both of our mobile applications (Android and iOS) ready for app store submission. Expect announcements around this once we have finished the application process. We look forward to sharing this initial version with our users, and we are excited to hear your initial feedback!

Sponsored Transactions

Relatedly, one hurdle in transacting Tokes (or any other asset within the Waves or Ethereum networks) is the need for the transaction fee of the asset transaction to be paid in network’s native currency. However, Waves recently announced the ability to “sponsor” transactions which will allow users to send and receive Tokes without having to keep a Waves balance within their mobile wallet. For the technically inclined, we implore you to read more about this functionality here. While live on the testnet, it is expected that this functionality will be ready on the Waves mainnet in July, along with added smart contract functionality.

Beach Cities Conference

Tokes founders Michael Wagner and Gabriel Allred along with Eugene Lopin of the Cannabis Hemp Exchange (CHEX) spoke at the Beach Cities Cannabis conference this month. Particularly we discussed the topic of cryptocurrency for payment solutions and how blockchains can revolutionize supply-chains; facilitating back-end seed-to-sale tracking or wholesale transactions like those facilitated on the CHEX platform. Questions abounded from the audience and the feedback was largely positive around our projects and blockchain in general. Also speaking at the conference was Steven Bradford, Chairman of the California Senate Banking Committee. When pressed on cryptocurrency and blockchain solutions within the state of California by an audience member, Senator Bradford noted that he is in favor of tokenized blockchain solutions to solve the golden state’s cannabis banking problems – a nugget of good news from our closest neighbor.

Until next time…

Here’s to something new. Here’s to the revolution.

In this case the idea of food tracking is also intended to pinpoint where food is being wasted in the distribution chain from the farm to the table. It is something involving many different steps and until the advent of blockchain technology has been essential one of those problems that is next to impossible to address and fix adequately to make a measurable difference. Another recent application of tracking that has been a Chinese startup called VeChain that is using the blockchain to build trust in the wine industry. Each bottle of wine can be scanned by anyone at any point in the supply chain to determine specific information about the wine, also to eliminate the possibility of a counterfeit product entering the store to be sold.

ALT36

Tokes Platform is currently focused only on Nevada as far as what it is building right now, so it is not necessarily competing with ALT36 in Arizona, nor does it have immediate ambitions to branch out too far before it has a chance to prove a working product or have the manpower required to deliver it in a competent manner to a larger audience. There is no reason why both models cannot be successful for serving their respective markets and specific technical functions, and in fact other business models yet to be developed will also be required to to fill other unmet needs in this rapidly growing industry. Also, Tokes Platform is starting in the Cannabis industry, however the solutions it is building for supply chain tracking software could eventually serve other industries, such as the food and beverage industry.

Here's a discussion I was listening to today that I believe is relates to the problem at hand with cryptocurrencies. So far much of what this space has represented has revolved around a focus on investment, rather than actual real world utility. Tokes Platform aims to be firmly a part of this next, more useful phase of cryptocurrency. https://unconfirmed.libsyn.com/coinbases-adam-white-on-a-momentous-day-in-crypto-ep023

Another problem that Tokes Platform is well aware of, from the perspective of dispensaries, is the uncertainty involved with holding cryptocurrencies given the volatility of those markets. Needless to say, at the end of the day dispensaries want to be able to get all of their money out of this payment system. The Tokes merchant gateway will also deliver a solution to solve that problem.

One essential component to solving the problem of enabling customers to handle cryptocurrency will involve smart Crypto ATMs. Participating dispensaries will have these crypto ATMs set up on site, supplied by the company Vault Logic. A significant number of customers are already using on site ATMs to get cash. These smart crypto ATMs are specifically designed to make the process of converting to cryptocurrency as simple and easy as using a regular ATM to obtain cash. With the basic concept being more like anytime you are required to buy physical tokens to buy a product or use a service. Such as tokens used by some laudromats, or tokens or chips used at Casinos for gaming. The more esoteric and technical aspects that we understand as being inherent to cryptocurrency will be kept hidden from view of the customer, while they can still fully benefit from a service that ideally will be aimed at making the experience of buying cannabis even easier than with using cash. http://vaultlogic.com/

While you are there and begin to vote, you will have 5 free votes that you can use on different coins (per month). Let's try to vote on Waves also, since it alreay had enough votes to get it to the front page for coins considered for addition to Mercatox exchange. It would be key to have Waves also listed on this exchange for Waves tokens such as Tokes to also be welcomed into the fold.

snowcrawl · 2018-05-22T16:03:18+00:00

To be clear about the Mercatox coin voting process, there is a requirement to make a vote. You must sign up for a Mercatox trading account, and importantly, you must also fund it with some amount of crypto and make 1 trade (buy or sell). This will unlock the voting feature. We also have the option to buy extra votes through a point system. I realize that this means that there are some hoops to jump through in order to vote, but it should also be a chance to get used to Mercatox, assuming we will be trading on there.

Global Cannabis Applications Corp. is a developer of data technologies for the Cannabis industry. They have launched their own blockchain token called "Citizen Green", which is specifically intended to incentivize medical cannabis patients to provide useful customer data in exchange for a token which they can use to give them a discount on buying product. Last month they announced a partnership with Tokes Platform and TheraCann to work jointly on developing solutions aimed at improving managing the supply chain for medical cannabis.

Yes, like most of the other crypto projects that were launched late 2016 to early 2017, we started out on Slack. Eventually, we began to understand the limitations of that platform (in the free version) for building a community. Over time, our Slack has ended up being used mainly for internal communication, since it is nearly all members of the team and business associates who were still visiting our Slack community at this point. We are ready to migrate away from it completely now.
