According to one of postings in the INS Ecosystem official blog, retail industry is experiencing what you called apocalypse. Isn't it too strong word? What if it is just a cycle of not so good times for the retailers but then oil price will rise and perhaps, retail market will revise again? How will that affect INS ecosystem? In general what market niche will be taken for Ecosystem compare to the large department stores?

Please, don't think I am pessimist or whatsoever, but you know, it is always better to be prepared to a worse scenario

Hello! as gar as I know, and it is logical that you can only have one referral link!

I agree with Ashley! INS isn't a shelf for products, it is a platform that is going to connect manufacturers and consumers

i see your point and it makes sense, so the worst scenario - if everything stays the same!

You can take part in our bounty program! Here is the thread dedicated to it: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/2255023.0
Or you can wait for the ICO which starts November, 27!

it is going to get better anyway, I'm sure! INS already has strong supporters among manufacturers! there will be more of them when the system is living! and consumers will come as well!

Thanks for believing in INS!

Though I want to add that we are different from Amazon.
The most successful marketplaces such as Amazon came to life because they managed to remove middleman entities, that were mostly brick and mortar operations, and replaced them with an automated piece of software accessible over the Internet.
There’s one important aspect to highlight though. The model is often explained as “removing the middleman” without emphasizing that what actually happens is not a complete removal of the broker in the middle, but rather a replacement of the old broker with a new kind of broker. A much better type of broker, built around a software platform, but still a middleman entity between the supply and demand sides.

wow I just found this clicking on an advertisement. I hope also that you guys get into Cyprus and also get hold of a lot of local and organic farmers, manufacturers as well. That would be awesome if you can work on a microcosmic economic scale as well as with the bigger manufacturers. I am checking out all the info now, this should be very popular with us ladies!

what software?! they are going to launch physically

that means there is going to be some plan and some software any independent manufacturer in the world will be able to use?
