Good article, the points it mentions are interesting.  I think visibility is going to be even more important in the future, look at Amazon, you can even see how many stops away from your house they currently are.   if they do it right, you could see where your order is, and if your at work, go home and meet the delivery driver before they arrive.   The reviews section is interesting as well, especially with the scandle around buying fake Amazon reviews a few years ago.  With the blockchain, you could literally track the moment of purchase to verify that the review came from a legit source who purchased and used the product.  Can't wait to see this fully implanted.

Vanig platform uses Hyperledger Sawtooth to build an e-commerce ecosystem that tackles key issues in e-commerce today.

The reviews is rather interesting; the only worry is that the say a product did badly it can't change its history if it starts doing well. I think the tracking of product is what would it stand among the others.

I read this article earlier and I was really impressed with it.. I can personally say i can relate with all those problems stated there about modern e-commerce sites and vanig using blockchain as the solution can be a big boost to the industry.

It's important to also have the ability of specifying if we want to get the package via tracked post for smaller value items, even at our own expense. Companies like AliExpress have successfully implemented this and I personally think it's an awesome idea.

Oh really? I did not know that this possibility already exists. For some products that would be worth considering. But actually it's more of a curiosity, because the packages should actually be insured anyway, and if they disappear on the way to you, that's usually a problem for the seller. From this point of view, the seller might have been more interested than the buyer :-)

Thank you for this link! One thing I can't get there - what does "payment cycle" mean? It's noted that Amazon payment cycle is 15-20 days and Vanig via cryptocurrency can provide this in real time. Could somebody clarify me this?

Yeah, an MVP is so important. Some investors only put their money in a project with at least a working MVP. I can totally understand them. It's something completely different when you invest in a project that has a working product to show than in only a fancy whitepaper.

As far as I understood MVP will be a demo version this time and some people can get a chance to test it. We need to wait for further information from Vanig which will come I think sometime in the beginning of the next week.
