AIGO — The future of payment
Tumblr media
Adoption Blockchain e-Commerce to World
One of the main sectors blockchain is influencing at this moment is certainly banking and financial sector. Bitcoin main purpose was making payments easier, quicker and more transparent all over the world. Today after almost 10 years there are numerous projects rising and trying to take a part of money/banking crypto sector. The main problem why Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies are still not accepted as a mainstream way of payment is that no one made a simple way for traders to except it and for their costumes to spend it in the easy, secure and transparent way.
Introducing Aigo,
AI-Payment that is designed for direct transfer of value between the two parties, without having to go through an intermediary (P2P). The basic type of this transaction is “Push”, although this gal may be enough as a POC for cryptocurrency, it is certainly very sufficient to get them to use payments using digital currencies for modern trade.
They are rebuilding the payment space with flexibility and ease of use of credit cards for blockchain technology. We are developing a complete payment system that has needs in the business world. Expand and increase your payment options and start following the cryptocurrency today.
The card payment ecosystem structure is very complex and consists of several participants: Credit card associations (Visa, MasterCard), bank issuance, acquiring banks, and gateway payments, for some monopolistic market names and obligation players each control their network, show rules and fees, this centralized structure causes inefficiencies.
Now how about AIGO, is an effort to design infrastructure development, which will have the potential to grow into a fully decentralized payment system.
Vision
The blockchain technology holds a big promise to change the payment industry. Problem described in the previous section can be overcome with a blockchain based on peer-to-peer payments network that allows flexibility and scalability of payment cards through a decentralized platform.
Like the Protocol will be able to facilitate transactions between customers and traders, eliminate brokers along the way, save large amounts of funds for traders and customers, increase overall efficiency and reduce risk. The adoption of blockchain can have advantages increase the use of cryptocurrency for everyday transactions.
How It works?
For cryptocurrency to be successful over time, it needs to be a core aspect of the ecosystem it represents. The AI-Payment ecosystem will be built entirely around the functionality of AIGOPay Tokens. Our goal is to create a standard “De-jure & De-Facto”. AI-payment for modern payments by adopting strong economic token support.
A-Wallet : A dashboard of accounts is used to view account details and to connect wallet-to-wallet. Wallet is the user’s private key holder. A-Wallet will facilitate the interaction of bill payments and between accounts. This interaction consists of Pull Requests, approves transactions, shows transaction history, and displays account balance.
A-Card : A platform that we will realize is where the payment system uses an ATM card (A-Card). We will disseminate an A-Card that can help overcome the solution of fiat currency withdrawal (Crypto Card Bank) and also to pay bills without the slightest fee.
A-Store : A marketplace that supports AI-System, the purpose of this system is to allow users to buy goods without confirmation from the center, which is instant without a significant time lag. This is one of the AIGO Platforms that has something unique from other e-Commerce.
A-Chain : AIGO will initially be introduced to the Ethereum network but intends to use other networks to develop signs in the future. The AIGO solution consists of several smart and unique contract components that come together to create a flexible AI-Payment Chain.

CONCLUSION
Tumblr media
With the current situation that cryptocurrency is on, adaptation needs to be aquired on it’s full potential so the mass could finally enter and use cryptocurrency on a daily basis which right now is very unlikely to happen.

the story of Meagan, possibly the most confused and frustrating seller ever...
WHERE WE STARTED… 
8/10/18, 10:02 AM
Get Started
Hey Meagan! We are a seasonal children's "pop-up" consignment event. We have sales in XX and XX every spring & fall. We usually answer messages personally a few times a day. In the meantime, what can our autoresponder help you with?
Shopping the Event
Selling at the Event
It's something else
 Hey is to late to sign up for vip shopping and selling at the XX event
Are you interested in selling items or just shopping?
Both
The XX sale has reached the max of 750 regular sellers and we are now registering RESTOCK sellers who will bring their items after the sale has started so we can restock our sales floor.
Can I still purchase a vip ticket
Yes, there are a limited number still available.
8/10/18, 2:17 PM
What’s a phone number I can call so someone can explain to me how to register to sale and buy
Hi Meagan, there is only me, just the one person behind this whole business. Feel free to call me at XXX-XXX-XXXX and I can explain what I wrote above about being a restock seller. You do not HAVE to buy a ticket to shop the sale, but you do have to buy one if you are not a seller and you want to SHOP EARLY at our PRE-sale event. 
WHERE WE PICKED BACK UP THE NEXT SALE SEASON…  9:18 AM
Is there someone I can call for assistance with registering for seller and buyer vip
Hey Meagan! We are a seasonal children's "pop-up" consignment event. We have sales in XX and XX every spring & fall. We usually answer messages personally a few times a day. In the meantime, what can our autoresponder help you with?
Shopping the Event
Selling at the Event
It's something else
Hi Meagan, It's the same phone number as last fall. I'll be available for calls after 1 PM Central time today as I'm not in the office yet and I'm the sole person behind this business. Or you can click the buttons here now and our auto-responder will likely answer most of your questions. If you are planning to sell, you do not need to also purchase a VIP Presale shopping ticket. Which is it that you'd like to do. --Very Patient Sale Owner XXX-XXX-XXXX
I want to sell and buy. So what do I need to do?
You need to register as a seller. You do not need to also purchase a ticket for the VIP presale. If you will hit the button above for "selling at the event", instructions will magically appear courtesy of the autoresponder.
You may also visit our website to learn more: www.XXXXXXXX
Do I have to pay anything? Asking cause I lost my debit card this week
Yes, we have a seller's fee of $10 that you'll need to pay to get started setting up your account.
How much is it ? And how would I get u cash?
How would I get you cash!
we cannot accept cash for your seller's fee. we do accept it for payment at the sale.
I’ll probably won’t get my debit card until the week after next when is the deadline to sign up for this?
Sellers will use PayPal as a part of the registration process and you may use funds form a debit/credit card or PayPal account.
How Do I get a PayPal? What is that?
There is no deadline. We will continue to register sellers until we reach our max of 775 sellers, We are more than half way there in just 24 hours.
You can learn more at www.PayPal.com
Dont I have to have my debit or credit card for that also?
Yes, you will need to have a debit or credit card in order to sign up to be a seller
Neither of those will work I already said I’ve lost my card. Can my mom put hers on here for me?
yes, you could use anyone's card during the checkout process of paying your seller's fee.
Can I buy a prepaid debit card
Is there a way to do that
Yes, I suppose that would work. I really can't support you through the PayPal side of paying the seller's fee during the registration process as it is not under our control. We do not have access to what you do in PayPal, we do not access your account or your funding.
Does it have to be in pay pal?I was just going to go to Walmart and buy one of those prepaid debit cards
The checkout process is done THROUGH PayPal. It is literally the system we are using to collect your fee. You can put the money in by using any debit or credit card from any source. But the PayPal system is what processes the fee and sends the money to us. Does that make sense?
Yes thanks
1:01 PM
Can it be mastercard or visa?
I see it now
Would this work?
Tumblr media
I don't see why it would not as all you need is to put in a credit or debit card number to pay the seller's fee.
 3:41 PM

Ok I have a babybassinet how much should I price that at ?
I also have a couple of rugs, and foam mattress toppers , one of the rugs has a run in it tho .
Meagan, we suggest pricing items at 1/3 to 1/4 of the cost it was new. You can read our website to learn all about how to be a successful seller at our events: www.XXXXXXXX
What about the rug with the run in it? It is not a big run only a few inches long
Can I bring my mother with me to shop?
Meagan, if the rug is damaged, it cannot be sold. Normal wear and tear is expected but not damage. 
Your seller presale pass is good for one adult shopper, you may not bring a guest. Are you receiving our seller education emails? We're sending all this info direct to your email for your convenience!

Sure! Simply log in to your account, unselect the time you have and choose another one.
It’s saying sorry but u have already selected an appt. how do I unselect it
Having a lot of trouble with this
On mobile, the appointment you have selected is on the top. You must select it and "delete" it before choosing a new time.
How long will check in last I have to be home to get kids off buss by 11 am
All the detailed seller "how-to's" are here on the how to sell page: www.XXXXXXXX
Reread my message please I didn’t ask how to do anything
All of the answers to your questions are on our website that we've worked really hard on. We've worked to make it mobile friendly and put all the details you need right there for you to refer to. We're also emailing most of the same information to you.
I’m not seeing that info
This has been so difficult and you all make it so difficult to even answer questions I probably won’t do this again next year
Where does it say how long check in will last
the answer to your question is on our website. It's in your email too. I will paste is here below as well for your reference. There are 790 sellers signed up for this event. Last week's event had 700 sellers. That's too many people for me to walk through the entire process individually which is why we have the website and send emails.
Allow 30-45 minutes Allow enough time to bring your items into the sale. Park and come in to sign your seller’s agreement and receive your presale pass BEFORE carrying items in. You may use our carts & racks to assist with transport. You may also want to bring your own cart or wagon. 
Look how much time was wAsted on that one question you could’ve just pasted it from the beginning and saved 7 minutes of both our lives . You just want to argue
I won’t do this again next year
I don't want to argue, I want you to spend just a moment looking at the information we've provided for you. I have done my best to be immediately responsive to all your questions - morning & night, weekday and weekend. But there is a ton of info available to you and you are not even looking at it. Please avail yourself of the resources we've created to help you. 789 other sellers are managing to find the information. There is just one of me.
Don’t keep on trying to argue w me hun
Where will the check in be held in XX
Are you asking where the event will be located?
Yea all that and reread my question
I read it. I'm clarifying that you are asking for the location of the sale. It is inside the XX Center, XX Street in XX Town. We use Entrance X. This information is all over our website, our Facebook page, and in the 10-12 emails you’ve received from us by now.  (screenshot of website with name, address, photo of building, and link to google maps)
 MAR 6, 2019, 1:51 PM
What about those?
Tumblr media
From your photo, the toes of those sandals appear to be peeling off, they would not be accepted for the sale.
The lights and music function is not working on the bassinet. I guess u couldn’t accept it either?
if it is supposed to light up & play music, that part needs to work as well if it is not possible to remove it entirely. Shoppers want to buy items in good condition that work.
I can remove the box that plays music . Is that ok?
yes, if you can remove that part completely so that it is just a bassinet that is fully functional and not recalled, it can be sold.
MAR 18, 2019, 4:35 PM
Hey am I supposed be printing out some sort of tags or something to put on my items I’ve already added them to the online inventory hand tomorrow I have an appointment at 9:15 AM to bring my items to XX to the XX Center
Yes, you need to generate & print tags using the "print tags" tab inside your MyConsignment Manager account
I don’t have a printer
The tags generate into a PDF document. You can send it to a friend or take it to an office store for printing. Remember, tags need to be printed on cardstock paper.
I don’t know what that is and we don’t have it can u accept regular paper?
It’s asking for a print code????
It’s says to contact you all for a valid print code????
Need the print code now!!! Just drove 20 min with both my kids to print these!! You should’ve told me the print code earlier when I was asking you if I nee
You actually dont need it. If you will just go to OUR website at www.XXXXXXXX and use the seller login link there, you will never ever need to enter the print code.
 I am in the seller login
No, you are logging in via www.myconsignmentmanager.com which is a site with a green & white background
If you will just go to www.XXXXXXXXX which is a site with blue & orange background, you don’t need a print code.
 MEAGAN SHOWED UP AT THE SALE TO CHECK-IN AND HANDED US HER 24 TAGS PRINTED ON CARDSTOCK.  
All categories were “not available” and no sizes were listed.
SHE DIDN’T EVEN BRING THE UNPREPARED ITEMS INSIDE.  WE SENT HER TO THE STORE TO GET TAPE & BAGS FOR HER SHOES (16 OF THE 24 ITEMS WERE SHOES)
She did come back with bags, tape, and items. We showed her how to bag the shoes.
We gave her wire hangers for her 6 clothing items, then hung and pinned the tags on for her.  
 WED 3:31 PM
hello, will I be able to use my debit card at the sale this afternoon
We accept CASH and also Visa, Mastercard, & Discover as credit or debit! We do not accept checks. See you at the sale!
THU 10:14 AM
Any outdoor playhouses at the sale or how can I find out for myself , is there a way to check online ?
THU 11:30 AM
Hundreds of people are shopping so we’re not able to update about pricing or availability of items. Come in & shop!
FRI 11:31 AM
Could you please tell me the email I used for my paypal account ? I’m not able to log into any PayPal account. Not sure if I ever even created a pay pal account. I think I just used a prepaid visa that I bought to sign up for seller registration
FRI 3:44 PM
?
We’re very busy at the sale trying to sell your items! All of your questions about PayPal and pay out or answered on our website on the how to sell page. They will also be answered in the email that goes out today and repeat it again tomorrow. Please look at the website and your email for the answers to your questions
I did look at the website. when is a good time to call you? I can’t remember If I signed up with a PayPal account or not but I know for sure that I used a prepaid Visa card. Will you please help me look into this when you have time? I keep trying to sign in PayPal account but it isn’t accepting any of my emails and I don’t know why.
We have no access to your PayPal account. All we are going to do is tell PayPal your email address and how much money we owe you. That means the email address that you put into the my consignment manager system, the one that all of our messages are coming too. I’m not sure if you’re getting a reading any of them. The funds will be transferred to PayPal at the email address you used when you signed up for your tagging account. If you are struggling with logging into PayPal, there is nothing I can do to help you. That is between you and PayPal. It is your account. We have no access to it.
I am using that email for my paypal account. The same one I used for my consignment website login and it’s not accepting it. I don’t remember creating a paypal account. Is that something was mandatory when I signed up to be a seller? I don’t understand why it’s not taking my email
Please can I just call you is there a good time?
No, I'm not able to talk you through this because I don't have anything at all to do with your PayPal account. I literally cannot help. You need to call PayPal and talk to THEM about your account. I don't know what email address you put on your PayPal. I don't know anything about it. All I know is what email address you put into MyConsignment Manager and I will soon know how much money we owe you. I will tell PayPal those two pieces of info and they will move funds from our account to yours. After that, it's on you to access those funds.
You can’t tell me if I used a paypal to sign up for sellers registration for my kidsignment?
Meagan, The fact that we use PayPal to collect the seller registration fee has nothing to do with the fact that we use PayPal to pay you out. The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other. It does not matter. 
I don’t know what email address you used to sign up for PayPal. That is between you and PayPal
All I am going to do is tell PayPal the email address I know that you used in my consignment manager and how much money we owe you. It is up to you to be sure that the email address you used in my consignment manager is on a PayPal account somehow, somewhere.
And our sale is not named “kidsignment”.
Did I use paypal to sign up for sellers registration? Yes or no please
It does not matter. That is irrelevant.
PayPal is a checkout system. You used it. I do not know if you have an account or what email address you used on your account. It is your account. We have nothing to do with it.
Can I just have a whole bathroom made in a closet that is big enough to be bathroom?
If you can find someone to do the plumbing, I don’t see why not... not my area of expertise...
Wrong person
I figured...
I don’t even have a paypal account out there I’m on the phone with them now are you sure that’s where my payment is going to?
You just need to create a PayPal account with the same email address that you use in my consignment manager. Once again, I know nothing about your account, what email address you use, or if you even have one. If you do not have one, make one.
That’s why I kept asking you if I had to have one to sign up to sell .... I couldn’t remember if I made one or not
FRI 8:54 PM
Everything about the sale has been so confusing for you, I don’t know how to explain any more. You don’t have to have a PayPal account to register. The checkout is done with PayPal but an account is not required to pay the fee. PayPal is simply a checkout system. We went through all this at the time. I have no way to know if you made an account. I don’t know how to explain the sale any better. 750+ other people are able to make sense of our website & emails. I don’t know how to provide more info than we already have.
It’s just confusing when I keep asking the same question but you explain everything else but you don’t answer my question. It’s done and over with nothing else to argue about paypal account has been made with the email that you have [email protected].
Sale was great thanks for the opportunity to be included! Sorry for inconveniencing you so much. My life has been very stressful the last two years . Again I apologize for being hateful to you through messenger I wasn’t sure if I was talking to robot or I just through diff people was messaging me from this account. You take care !
Glad you were pleased with the experience.  It certainly has not seemed that way over the past several weeks.  Email is our preferred communication and the auto-responder is set up to handle quick questions shoppers have. We put all the seller details in email and on the website. I am sorry your life has been stressful. Since the participating has been so confusing for you, it may be best for you to find another way to sell your items in the future. I’m glad you ended up being pleased with this season in the end.
Thankfully, we never heard from Meagan again.

Stablecoins have been a hot topic in 2018, and many different companies are creating cryptocurrencies for P2P payments. The USDX Wallet payment system stands out from these overly complicated and undeveloped projects by delivering rapid and secure transactions with the ease of sending a text. Whether you are depositing money, organizing international money transfers, paying salaries, or making non-cash transactions, this digital payment system is a secure and reliable choice.
As a blockchain-based wallet, USDX Wallet guarantees multi-level security for all transactions and instant transfers of assets via a phone number. The native blockchain used by USDX is based on BitShares, and it allows 100,000 transactions per second. For reference, that is the speed of Visa and Mastercard — combined. Many of the pain points of crypto transfers are also solved by this innovative payment system, including cryptocurrency volatility, low transaction speeds, security issues related to private keys, and excessive fees, among many others.
Available at Google Play and the App Store, this free app features smooth navigation and slick design, making it a pleasure to use. Face ID and Touch ID features will soon be available for the wallet, making authorization even faster and smoother. Ease of use is coupled with security of use as USDX Wallet employs strong encryption algorithms to protect users’ private keys, which are necessary to access funds. Another security layer is two-factor authentication (2FA) performed via SMS codes or push notifications (depending on user preference). As the Whitepaper states, all USDX services are based on AWS and the Google Cloud platforms, which foster scalability, maintainability, and the overall security of the system. Security and stability are of the utmost importance to USDX Wallet and its currency owners.
The USDX token is a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio via a smart contract. USDX is collateralized by the system’s core cryptocurrency, LHT, which refers to Lighthouse Blockchain Technology, the company behind the app. The total supply of LHT is 1B coins, which will be released gradually to the market. Only 5% of the supply will be issued in the first year, while another 5% will be locked on the blockchain to provide 200% collateralization. The benefit of withholding coins is encouraging confidence in LHT owners and potential owners that the value won’t suddenly evaporate if the market becomes flooded.
These tokens are available for purchase during the token sale, going on from November 1 to December 31, or until all the allotted coins are sold from this first pool. There are no private sales or presales, and the project has already received venture investment. Developers have set the stage for exchanges integration, and the listing is planned for January 2019. Future profits will come from business account fees. USDX tokens could be purchased via the native app with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and a bunch of other altcoins. Significant bonuses can be earned for any purchases before the end of 2018.
● For a 35% bonus: Download the USDX Wallet app, register, and get 35% extra tokens on your first purchase. ● For a 25% bonus: Invite friends and get 25% back of their first purchase. ● For a 10% bonus: Get 10% more bonuses for second and all subsequent orders.
Unlike so many other companies in the industry, USDX Wallet prioritizes effortless crypto transfers. This is a universal payment system for everyone, from newbies to crypto pros. If you’re looking for an easy and effective way to transfer your crypto assets, USDX Wallet may be exactly the solution you’ve been looking for.

Crypto-Fiat Financial Platform Saifu to Make Using Cryptocurrency as Easy as Using a Traditional Online Bank Account
Saifu is looking to bridge the gap between fiat and digital currencies and bring access to financial services to the more than 2 million unbanked and underbanked people around the world. Bitcoinist recently sat down with Zach Murray, marketing director of the Czech-based startup, to discuss the merits of the platform, their upcoming ICO, and their participation in the recently completed Asian Tour 2018 roadshow.
Bitcoinist: For our readers who may not be familiar with Saifu, can you give us a quick overview of what the platform is?
ZM: Saifu is a simple, secure, and regulated platform that integrates fiat and cryptocurrencies into one account. On the Saifu app or web portal, users can buy or sell cryptocurrencies, exchange between fiat currencies (Euros to USD, for example), or send any of these to outside accounts and wallets. Saifu users can also receive a Mastercard that they can use anywhere Mastercard is accepted, and their purchases can be seamlessly funded from their Saifu accounts. We also offer exchange and payment processing services for businesses who want to accept or make payments with cryptocurrencies.
youtube
Bitcoinist: One of the biggest barriers to mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies has been lack of accessibility for the average consumer. How does Saifu help lower that barrier?
ZM: Our primary goal is to remove that barrier to mainstream crypto adoption in a safe and regulated way. Saifu will make buying, selling, and using cryptocurrencies just as easy as using a traditional online bank account, with the same level of security and regulation. With Saifu it’s as easy topping up your bank account, and just as secure.
Bitcoinist: Cryptocurrency detractors love to point out that cryptocurrencies aren’t easily integrated into day-to-day transactions. What are your thoughts on that and how does Saifu fit into that equation?
ZM: There’s some truth to that statement. Some major online retailers accept Bitcoin and a few other cryptos, and there are a few services that provide prepaid cards funded with cryptocurrency. But overall, it’s still quite difficult to spend cryptocurrency like fiat.
We’re going to change that by making cryptocurrency transactions as easy and safe as using your credit or debit card. Want to buy some Bitcoin? Open up the Saifu app and enter the amount you’d like to buy – we’ll get you the best rate from the major exchanges and you can pay with your credit card or bank account. Want to sell some Ether? It’s just as easy, and the funds can go into your Saifu account or you can send them to your bank. Want to pay for groceries? Just use your Saifu Mastercard – we’ll convert your cryptocurrency to fiat seamlessly – and at the best rates available. And if you’re a business owner that wants to be part of the crypto revolution, our business accounts allow you to accept and exchange cryptocurrencies with ease.
Bitcoinist: There are other platforms that claim to “bridge the gap” between fiat and digital currencies. What makes Saifu different?
ZM: We have some sizable advantages over our competitors. First and foremost, we’re the most secure and are actually regulated under our own license. All our customers’ keys are created and stored in hardware security modules developed with our partner, Thales, the global leader in banking cybersecurity. Cryptocurrency transactions pass through our operational and Saifu Crypto Vault that require two physical keycards to access. And our cybersecurity is overseen by the former head of DDoS protection at Kaspersky.
We’ve also chosen to be regulated. We’re licensed by the Czech National Bank, so we’re subject to regular audits, and all aspects of our business must be approved by the regulator. And we’ve just partnered with accountancy behemoth Deloitte to audit our business and day-to-day operations. We’re also in the process of applying for some other licenses in other jurisdictions.
In addition to those key advantages, we also offer more features than our competitors. For example, some services allow you to buy and sell cryptocurrency in your account, but it can’t be transferred out or spent directly – they don’t make cryptocurrency usable like Saifu does. Other competitors offer prepaid cards that you can fund with fiat currency, but they have to be preloaded, and a lot of those firms were using cards issued by WaveCrest, whose cards were all canceled by Visa. Finally, some competitors claim they will offer a full range of services but are foggy on dates and details. Their plans change with every Q&A session, and they’ve been about to release features “soon” for the six months. Saifu already has a functional platform in closed beta, with our open beta scheduled to be available in the first quarter of 2018.
Bitcoinist: What are the key features of the platform that users will find to be the most useful?
ZM: For our individual users, the Saifu app, which lets you easily manage your crypto and fiat currencies in one account, and the linked Saifu prepaid Mastercard, which you can use anywhere Mastercard is accepted. For our business users, the ability to accept and make payments in cryptocurrencies, buy or sell them as needed, and the ability to pay your employees in cryptocurrency (this last feature is still early in development).
Bitcoinist: I read that an estimated 2 billion adults worldwide are unbanked or underbanked – that is, they don’t have access to even basic financial services. How can Saifu help them?
ZM: Our goal is to bring Saifu to every corner of the globe. If you have access to a smartphone and can complete the simple KYC process by uploading a government-issued ID and utility bill, you can open a Saifu account. Because Saifu accounts have IBAN numbers, you can wire in funds via SEPA/SWIFT to get started. Saifu also allows you to send crypto or fiat to other Saifu users;  this could drastically reduce the cost of sending remittances home, compared to using services like Western Union or MoneyGram.
Bitcoinist: Saifu has partnered with Thales Group. What value do they add to the Saifu platform?
ZM: Thales is a security giant, and they bring decades of experience protecting everything from airports, to critical infrastructure, to international banks. What we’ve done, is take that security and adapt it to cryptocurrencies. This was a complicated process and took us over a year to develop. We use Thales nShield Hardware Security Modules for this solution. The keys are created in the modules and can only be accessed by two trusted techs on-site with access cards. Because the keys can never leave the module and have this dual security system, even if we’re hacked, our customers’ keys are still safe.
Bitcoinist: Is Saifu regulated? How does it affect/benefit your users?
ZM: Very much so. We’re licensed by the Czech National Bank as a payment institution. The CNB requires us to comply with rigorous rules and regulations. Even our organizational structure must be approved. We’re also required to be regularly audited, and we’ve just announced a partnership with Deloitte for that purpose. This gives our users something invaluable – peace of mind.
Bitcoinist: The Saifu ICO ends on April 30. What is the current exchange rate per SAIFU token? Are there bonuses being offered? Which crypto and fiat currencies do you accept?
ZM: The Saifu token (SFU) is currently for sale at a price of 0.0001 BTC. ICO participants can pay with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ether, Dogecoin, or wire transfers (with some restrictions). Right now all SFU buyers receive a referral link, and if someone signs up with their referral link and buys SFU, they’ll receive SFU equal to 5% of their purchase. We also have bonus structures for larger contributions that we’re happy to discuss with everyone interested.
Bitcoinist: I understand that Saifu recently took part in the Asian Tour 2018 roadshow. Where did you visit and what was the purpose of the roadshow?
ZM: Yes, we went to Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Beijing, and Shanghai. The main purpose of the trip was to share news about Saifu, look for local partners, and explore business opportunities in those regions.
Bitcoinist: What was your impression of the roadshow experience? Would you recommend it to other startups looking to raise awareness?
ZM: It was really fun getting out and talking to people in the blockchain community from other countries. Giving presentations with running interpretations was quite a new experience. It’s actually easier than normal presentations…but you have to remember what’s on all of your slides.
Bitcoinist: What was your biggest takeaway from the roadshow?
ZM: Taipei is a big new center for blockchain. They’re working on self-regulation and have a sandbox in place for future development. We’re seriously considering setting up an office there to take part.
Bitcoinist: Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about Saifu?
ZM: We’re really excited about our project, and the market for our services is growing every day. What we’re offering now is essentially a presale of our services, with excellent loyalty benefits for those who hold and use our tokens. Customers get a combination of tokens back and discounts for using and holding tokens in significant volumes. Getting in on our token at this level helps customers to get top-notch security and use features for crypto and fiat services.
To learn more about Saifu please visit saifu.ai and try out their open beta release. Information about the token sale can be found at ico.saifu.ai.
For the first 100 people that use the promo code BITCOINIST, we offer a 10% discount on tokens.
How will Saifu’s licensed crypto-fiat platform lower the barrier of entry into cryptocurrency? How will the world’s unbanked population benefit? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

MoviePass - The Ins and Outs
I have had my MoviePass for almost two months at this point and I thought it would be a good time to share my experience so far with the subscription. 
To first sum up what MoviePass provides, you get unlimited movies per month, at what is told to be 91% of theatres nationwide(all 10 or so in my area work with it), for a monthly fee of $9.95, with some small restrictions. I will get into a little more detail of how it works below.
Starting at the beginning is a little tough since getting my MoviePass was rough and took a while. I can't blame MoviePass much for the problems because, when I signed up was the day that they dropped the prices to the $9.95 per month and led to an overwhelming amount of people signing up as well. It took me all day to fill out the application and for everything to be accepted because of the overload on the servers, but eventually it got through. I guess my only issue is that one could sign up online through the website instead of only being available through the app. Once I did get signed up, and again because of the massive amount of people that did as well, it took about 2 weeks to get my MoviePass MasterCard.
Here is the way that MoviePass works to get your movie ticket. First thing is, you have to be within about 100 yards of the movie theatre you are going to attend to get the ticket. Once within that rough 100 yards, you go into the open up the MoviePass app. You scroll to select your theatre and then find the movie you want to see. Once you have found the movie, you select the time that you would like to see the movie at. From there it takes you to the check-in screen, and upon pressing the check-in button, you have been given the funds to purchase the ticket. Once that is done, you go to purchase the ticket like normal, at either the in-person ticketer or the self-purchase, and voila, you have your ticket. I have so far, in the 14 movies I have seen, had zero issues with the MoviePass side of the transaction. I did have issues at one local theatre were, early on they were not accepting it, but this has since been resolved. I have used it at a common Regal Cinemas theatre multiple times, a smaller company, Frank Theatres, a couple times, and two independent theatres with zero issues. The simple understanding of the way it works is that once you check in, you purchase the tickets with your MasterCard like if it were any other credit card. Overall, it is a simple process that is easy to understand. 
 There are some restrictions to the card, but I have not had any troubles with them. You can only see one movie per day, but this resets at midnight each day. Technically, you could see a movie at 10:00 pm, that gets out at 12:00 am, purchase another ticket, and then see another movie right after. You are only allowed to see standard 2D movies, meaning no special upgraded theatres or 3D movies. I have no issue with this because I kind of prefer 2D for most movies anyway. When you check in to a theatre, you have 30 minutes to purchase the ticket you selected and after that 30 minutes, it resets. I think the one that some people find annoying is having to be within 100 yards of the theatre to purchase the ticket. I assume this is done to protect against people buying tickets for others and in a way, sharing the MoviePass against the terms of use. Also, you are restricted to only purchasing tickets for a movie the same day that movie is playing. This one, I understand why the would do it, but makes it tough for movies that sell out during the presale. I foresee a problem for me for the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Although there have been what I believe to be small problems with MoviePass, the benefits massively outweigh them. At only $9.95 a month, and with a theatre average ticket price of about $11-12, seeing only one movie per month with the MoviePass provides a more cost-effective solution than normally purchasing tickets, nevertheless seeing multiple movies. The other huge benefit I have found is the rewards programs of the theatre. I am raking in the points with Regal Crown Club and this gives me the ability to get swag and snacks at an almost free price!
With all this said, I can't recommend MoviePass enough. I think the app needs a good bit of work to get some bugs out, but overall the value is huge. 
7/7 Wittys!
Feel free to ask me questions about MoviePass or if you have concerns, let me know and I can help you with them and do my best to answer!

ZM: Thales is a security giant, and they bring decades of experience protecting everything from airports, to critical infrastructure, to international banks. What we’ve done, is take that security and adapt it to cryptocurrencies. This was a complicated process and took us over a year to develop. We use Thales nShield Hardware Security Modules for this solution. The keys are created in the modules and can only be accessed by two trusted techs on-site with access cards. Because the keys can never leave the module and have this dual security system, even if we’re hacked, our customers’ keys are still safe.
Bitcoinist: Is Saifu regulated? How does it affect/benefit your users?
ZM: Very much so. We’re licensed by the Czech National Bank as a payment institution. The CNB requires us to comply with rigorous rules and regulations. Even our organizational structure must be approved. We’re also required to be regularly audited, and we’ve just announced a partnership with Deloitte for that purpose. This gives our users something invaluable – peace of mind.
Bitcoinist: The Saifu ICO ends on April 30. What is the current exchange rate per SAIFU token? Are there bonuses being offered? Which crypto and fiat currencies do you accept?
ZM: The Saifu token (SFU) is currently for sale at a price of 0.0001 BTC. ICO participants can pay with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ether, Dogecoin, or wire transfers (with some restrictions). Right now all SFU buyers receive a referral link, and if someone signs up with their referral link and buys SFU, they’ll receive SFU equal to 5% of their purchase. We also have bonus structures for larger contributions that we’re happy to discuss with everyone interested.
Bitcoinist: I understand that Saifu recently took part in the Asian Tour 2018 roadshow. Where did you visit and what was the purpose of the roadshow?
ZM: Yes, we went to Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Beijing, and Shanghai. The main purpose of the trip was to share news about Saifu, look for local partners, and explore business opportunities in those regions.
Bitcoinist: What was your impression of the roadshow experience? Would you recommend it to other startups looking to raise awareness?
ZM: It was really fun getting out and talking to people in the blockchain community from other countries. Giving presentations with running interpretations was quite a new experience. It’s actually easier than normal presentations…but you have to remember what’s on all of your slides.
Bitcoinist: What was your biggest takeaway from the roadshow?
ZM: Taipei is a big new center for blockchain. They’re working on self-regulation and have a sandbox in place for future development. We’re seriously considering setting up an office there to take part.
Bitcoinist: Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about Saifu?
ZM: We’re really excited about our project, and the market for our services is growing every day. What we’re offering now is essentially a presale of our services, with excellent loyalty benefits for those who hold and use our tokens. Customers get a combination of tokens back and discounts for using and holding tokens in significant volumes. Getting in on our token at this level helps customers to get top-notch security and use features for crypto and fiat services.
