We were delighted to welcome our guest from Tokoin. The AMA took place on May 22nd, 2021 and our guest was @juspokat.
The total reward pool was 500$ and
was divided into three parts. In this AMA Recap we will try to summarize some
of the most interesting points for you.
Part 1 —
introduction and questions from the
Telegram&Bitcointalk community
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Hello, dear community! We are
pleased to announce AMA with Tokoin
D. Папа Роуч: hello all! and
today our guest – @juspokat ! 🤩 welcome
to our club!
pokat: hi aall
D. Папа Роуч: hello! nice to have you here😊 how are you doing?
pokat: thanks my pleasure to be here to be honest
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Hello and welcome to Satoshi Club,
Welly Salim!
D. Папа Роуч: 👍 so let’s begin our AMA then! 🚀
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: @juspokat Introduce yourself please.
How did you get to be involved in crypto and Tokoin?
pokat: Thanks
My name is
Welly
I have been
dumbfounded by ignoring Blockchain in the early days
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Nice to meet you Welly😊
pokat: lot of my friends who was into Bitcoin earlier
believed in
blockchain and richly rewarded. While I am regretting not believing in the
technology before. Hence, the moment my co founders invited me to join his team
for tokoin, I was so excited.
MSME and
Blockchain technology was my passion now.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: What is the essence of Tokoin?
pokat: a lot to be learned
that’s aa
million BTC questions
😛
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: gold words👍
pokat: Tokoin is a blockchain project aimed at helping
MSME to be successful with the assistance of
technology not limited to blokchain.
Tokoin is a
platform that establishes business identity as an acceptable reputation in the
business ecosystem.
As a
platform, Tokoin captures and processes business information from the users as
a valuable asset, which, in our ecosystem, translates into a marker for the
trusted reputation of the businesses, including but not limited to MSMEs, as
our users.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Tell us about the benefits of your
platform. How is it different from others?
pokat: This enables them to access previously
inaccessible financial business services from providers, which act as our
partners. Therefore, Tokoin links the business and financial sectors to launch
a scheme of financial inclusion. The partnerships formed in Tokoin will
subsequently contribute to the national economic growth, hence we are backed by
Indonesia’s government.
I think our
platform was built with a clear focus on
1. who are
the customers
2. how we
do that
3. tech to
be used
4. the
talent needed who is willing to admit if we screwed up and learn from it and
move on
we are not
chasing blockchain for the sake of the buzz word.
raather we
are focusing in building a platform to help MSME in Developing country with
technology, not limited to blockchain.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: How long does it take to develop a
project? What plans do you have for the future? And what can we expect from
Tokoin?
pokat: i think our vision can be relatable to common
folks
In 2019
Tokoin team was set up, 2020 was a tough year, We were experimenting with
development teams in multiple countries (built and close few R&D centers)
and we have made the decision on where the R&D will be, hence in 2021 we
were able to deliver apps such as TokoPOS, Konekto, T-Wallet.
2021 will
be a year that We will be going back to basic and delivering the right
solutions rather than being fast. We would really like to have TOKO being used
as a mainstream exchange mechanism in purchasing services and goods in our
ecosystem to help MSME.
And also
COVID did not help either. Kucoin being hacked was not fun as well, and lastly
extravagant gas fee in erc20.
D. Папа Роуч: awesome! nice to hear it, that
someone cares about technology and not only think about now getting rich
quickly 👏👏👏
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Congratulations! This is really very
important if the government supports a crypto project! 👏
D. Папа Роуч: 👀 some of these questions we have in the first part of our AMA btw
pokat: all of our staking and ICO goes to R&D
i see
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: You are strong guys!💪
pokat: please keep eyes on us, tell us if we can do
better and improve and pat our back too
if we did a good job
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Now get ready for community
questions🚀
pokat: thanks
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: I’m sure you will love this!😊
pokat: sure
D. Папа Роуч: let’s goooo!
Q1
from Telegram user @Jonahapagu
One of
the products Within Tokoin’s ecosystem is TokoPOS which is a point-of-sales application
that is said to provide efficiency to run a business Blockchain Integrated
Transaction System or BITS.. so how does TokoPOS application work, what are
it’s features and how does it help business run an efficient Blockchain
integrated Transaction system (BITS), what other importance does this
application provide to business and users. Recently three features where added
to TokoPOS which are “Business Resource”, B2B Buying and Storefront. can you
also give a brief overview of how this three new TokoPOS features work..
pokat: thanks
these
questions is as complete as it can be
lol
question*
D. Папа Роуч: good question😄😉
pokat: TokoPOS is part of the TOKOIN ecosystem to help
MSME. It was made with MSME’s needs on our mind.
Its
features will help you make sales, record financial transactions, register and
categorize products, manage inventory, manage employees, enter discounts, and
provide various payment options for customers, the idea is to allow MSME has
the ability to manage their business with the help of technology
Developed
nations might take this for granted, but this will be a huge help for the,
D. Папа Роуч: is your application already workable?
pokat: The BITS part will be a cheksum of transaction
data stored asynchronously.
Business
resource and B2B are possible due to integration with our partners
one of the
biggest b2b marketplace in Indonesia
yes, it is
working now
However We
do not stop just there, all the goods/services entered into TOKOPOS will be
published to MSME’s simple storefront. Yes, this is right, all the products
will be available 24 hours a day. MSME can take orders anytime/anywhere now,
they are not limited to operating time and space to offer and keep their goods
and services.
Let me get
a sample store front : https://tokopos.io/rumah-ceu-yati, please check and send
her shop some love. #LoveYou3000
We hope
this move will help MSME in focusing on what they know the best, making a great
value to consumers by making great products. Please let TOKOIN help them with
their technology.
And Also,
TOKOIn is also working on a loyalty system to help MSME reduce their marketing
budget.
A good and
successful business always has one thing in common. It is a repeat customer. We
are working on rewarding customer of the store front with point that can be:
Redeemed
into TOKOIN, so the token can be invested/staked/ converted into fiat via
exchange.
Redeemed
into something to get rebate/items.
Transfer
the token to each other such as donating the point to schools, charity, and
more.
using
points to pay for suppliers, insurance
More than
that, Tokoin POS facilitates business people to create digital ledgers and
digital business profiles. This data will be used as a credit rating for
businesses, especially MSMEs, to gain access to financial intermediaries,
suppliers and service services in the blockchain-based Tokoin ecosystem.
Hence MSME
will be provided with
A Digital
Identity for MSMEs that Represents a Valid Reputation (built from data from
TOKOPOS)
Data to
Create More Funding Opportunities (data from TOKOPOS)
Growth
Opportunities for MSMEs by Bringing Business Partnerships using Konekto (will
be launched by end of May)
Repeat
business (Loyalty point from my T Wallet)
All of
these are free of charge.
how?
We are not
running an escrow business/market place, where we will hold the money
businesses customers are paying for the goods and services and take some
commission.
. This
current practise is milking businesses’ cash flow hard. With their fund being
held, MSME won’t be able to use the fund to buy inventory and their business is
not getting well-off but worse.
We will
allow the buyer to make payment to businesses directly first so no fund is
held, MSME will be able to get the fund immediately and reinvest the funds to
their business immediately.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: good guys! 😍😁
D. Папа Роуч: nice! i see you guys are public not
anons 😁😉
pokat: nope
we are real
from day 1
D. Папа Роуч: 👍 thank you for the detailed answers! ready for the next question? 😊
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: it is worthy of respect👍
pokat: not worthy to be honest
we are not
delivering as much value as we wanted
but I am
proud of our team
and our
faans
fans*
this is
just a first step of the journey
D. Папа Роуч: but we are sure you will do
everything as you planned in the near future 😊👍
pokat: we will try
we have the
teaam now
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Ready for the next question?
pokat: Thanks for the time and support given to us. We
are really blessed to have everyone here. I mean it, without all of you, there
won’t be us. Our focus is to make Tokoin be a well-oiled machine, especially in
technology and engineering. In 2019 Tokoin team was set up, with NO prize for
guessing that 2020 was a tough year.
Just like a
football team, we were preparing/training to be the best we can be, We were experimenting
with development teams in multiple countries (built and close few R&D
centers) and we have made the decision on where the R&D will be.
Hence in
2021, we were able to deliver apps such as TokoPOS, Konekto, T-Wallet. 2021
will be a year that we can reap the benefit of having a good team. We would
really like to have TOKO being used as a mainstream exchange mechanism in
purchasing services and goods in our ecosystem to help MSME.
We will be
going back to basic and delivering the right solutions rather than being fast.
We spent 2020 fixing the mistake made by prior misjudgment and mismanagement.
We are in better shape in 2021 now.
sure
DEX in my T
wallet is next
so TOKO
coin can be traded to other tokens from inside the T wallet
or with
some other way!
we are
deciding on this
Q2
from Telegram user @Xusuo
Tokoin
is a platform that establishes identity and reputation for MSME to access
business solution, and I read that you have a digital wallet name with T
Wallet. What user possible to do in T Wallet application? What are the
different than other crypto wallet?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: I am sure that you will be a great
success!
pokat: perfect q
We are
building a system to allow users to be rewarded with TOKO by cash reward. Cash
reward will be given to a buyer for a purchase of goods and services in the
TOKOIN ecosystem. Currently for an MSME register in Konekto, they will be given
access to TOKOPOS. TOKOPOS will allow them to manage their business while
having their own storefront.
remember
the interaction between Konekto, TokoPOS and store front.
Wallet will
interact with TOKOPOS and Store Front
We are
developing a system to take payment in this storefront and rewarding the buyer
with points. Reward points an be spent as payment for services/goods from MSME.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: In which countries can I use this?
pokat: point that can be:
Redeemed
into TOKOIN, so the token can be invested/staked/ converted into fiat via
exchange.
Redeemed
into something to get rebate/items.
Transfer
the token to each other such as donating the point to schools, charity, and
more.
D. Папа Роуч: are buyers getting TOKO tokens immediately
after purchase was done?
pokat: Currently Indonesia
but we will
expand to others
currently
this is the next milestone for the tokopos and wallet
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Perhaps Europe?
pokat: maybe
never sya
never
say*
It is the
first official digital wallet from Tokoin where you can store and transfer your
TOKO token. Besides TOKO, you can also manage multiple cryptocurrencies
including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Check your
balance, transaction history, and securely send and receive cryptocurrencies in
this all-in-one crypto app!
Pony
features include:
– Store
Token
– Send
Token
– Receive
Token
– View
Transaction History
– Add
Multiple Wallets
– Event
– Program
Crypto
Token includes TOKO, Bitcoin, Ethereum. And I forgot , there is BNB too.
We will be
working on adding DEX into this.
Thanks for
all of the feedback about My-T wallet. It is not a perfect product yet, and
needs constant love from the developers. It is like a little child who is
constantly learning. We are currently working on supporting TOKO in the BEP20
network to accompany ERC20 due to the high gas fee. We are in discussion with
Kucoin to get both BEP20 and ERC20 of TOKO swapped easily. Please wait for more
updates on DEX and more. We discussed these internally but we are not able to
work on this right now, but this will be the next, so the TOKO token can be
paired with another token instead via CEXes only.
However, We
will be using My-T wallet as a place for users to use their points earned from
the TOKOIN ecosystem. The points can be
1. Redeemed
into TOKOIN, so the token can be invested/staked/ converted into fiat via
exchange.
2. Redeemed
into something to get rebate/items.
3. Transfer
the token to each other such as donating the point to schools, charity, and
more.

D. Папа Роуч: so T Wallet only for storing TOKO tokens or it
does support other cryptocurrencies as well?
pokat: currently BTC,ETH
BNB
we are
adding TOKO (BEP20)
to help
with the extravagant gas fee of ETH
D. Папа Роуч: gotcha!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thank you very much for your
answers! Ready for the next question?
pokat: we are flooded with daily request from use
about
failing transaction due to low eth gas fee
hence we
are working hard to add BEP20 version into it
sure
D. Папа Роуч:
yeah that’s
a common problem nowadays 😄
Q3
from Telegram user @victorogb
A couple
of days back, Tokion announced an event called the “Forgive Me Body and Soul
Program” as a means of last resort for holders to exchange their old TOKO
tokens to the new ones. Such swap or token exchange programmes, raises the
question of project security especially among potential investors. Therefore,
why was it necessary for Tokion to issue a new set of TOKO tokens? Also, as
part of the programme, Tokion would only exchange as much as 50% of a holder’s
old tokens to the new ones. Why would the swap be limited to only 50% of a
user’s old TOKO holdings, and what are the requirements to carrying out this
swap?
pokat: This is not so fun question
haha
This is due
to the previous incident with Kucoin.
token was
stolen from kucoin
We
invalidated all of the old tokens from the old Smart Contract to make sure
Hacker cant use them
D. Папа Роуч: ohh got it, this is why you conducting a token
swap
pokat: We worked closely with community for this swap
i guess we
are communicating with users for few months
we know the
hackers address
so we can
reject it
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Oh! It’s so pity 😳
pokat: however
some users
forgot to swap their old tokens
despite our
effort to remind them
so we are
left with constant request to help them swap their token
this is
like opening a can of worms
it will be
hard for us to know
the real
userrs or thieves
hence we
are only allowing 50%
it has been
a while
so while we
want to make erveyone happy
we cant
afoord to do thta
if we focus
to swap all fogotten tokens
D. Папа Роуч: so users still can swap their old
tokens? so there is a some deadline after that swap would not be available
anymore?
pokat: we wont be able to focus in developing new
products/services
and current
investors will be neglected
ya, however
I am not sure
if the
deadline has passed or not
i believe
it has
so yeah
sorry for
some real users who forgot to swap again
D. Папа Роуч: okay, gotcha! thank you for answer and info, i
know token swap to a new contract is a always not an easy thing to manage
ready for
the next question?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: thanks for the answer😊
D. Папа Роуч: we will proceed to the next question then 😉
Q4
from Telegram user @belkysgonzalez
On your
website you mention that the $TOKO token will be entering the BSC blockchain.
Why did you take this decision? Are there aspects of $TOKO that you think will
improve with this migration? You even published a BSC roadmap for may and early
june, so is this conversion already being executed?
pokat: OMG
i cant see
the question
until i
refresh
so sorry
D. Папа Роуч: probably some issues on telegram side
pokat: We are working on this. We are working on
moving our ERC20 token features into BEP. We will have the SWAP system ready
soon on our wallet, so our users should not be spending heaps amount of money
for just a gas fee.
it will be
released soon
some issue
are still being worked on
D. Папа Роуч: what about other blockchains? are you looking
to connect TOKO with chains like solana or polkadot?
pokat: they are interesting
but we will
take it a step at a time
i would
like to refocus our effort
to build a
system to help MSME
D. Папа Роуч: good approach 👍
pokat: and also getting more r&D in blockchain
need to be
balances
else
we will
just be another hype company
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Sounds good👍
throwing
all those cool shining blockchain train
without
real value to users
D. Папа Роуч: yeah i know what a you talking about 😉lots of projects now want to integrate as more
chains as they can, without real value and reasons
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for the answer! ready for the
next question?😊
pokat: yes
they might
know something we dont
or we know
something they dont
lol
but i
believe this is the approach to the moon
Q5
from Telegram user @Ruttiee
Data is
key for a business to get sponsors or investors and most MSMEs store years of
business data in hardcopy format, when such businesses register on Tokion
Ecosystem,how will their data be migrated to the Tokion Ecosystem?Are there
security measures in place to keep MSMEs data safe and secure during data
migration and afterwards?
pokat: thanks
while We
love to have as many data as we can
but…
every old
data imported
will have
their own quirk
format
pattern
every data
need to be cleaned
corrected
and this is
a massive effort
We won’t
migrate their current data, there will be too many permutations (aka
efforts) to be worked on by our team,
hence the data will be obtained from TOKOPOS (new data).
too many
data entry
data
massaging
so, data
will be coming only from TOKOPOS in the format we understand
Yes. It
will be secure to our best effort and audited frequently.
We worked
contsantly
with our
new Advisor
Johnny CEO
of Kucoin
who has
experienced security exploit
he owned
the issue, apologized to community
D. Папа Роуч: that’s cool! i have read on your
medium about this today 👍
pokat: face them
and learn
from them
we are
learning from him!
Johnny will
be invaluable advisor to us
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: this is a great mutually beneficial
coloboration! 👍
pokat: yeah
it takes
avengers to beat thanos
lol
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for great answers
pokat: unless u r star lord
lol
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Ready for the next question?
pokat: sure
D. Папа Роуч: the last question from part 1
Q6
from Telegram user @kimterbear
I read
on your roadmap about the CassMed. Considering today’s pandemic, how do you
think the launch of CassMed will serve as a helping hand to our medical
institutions and frontliners to have a secure medical record? On quarter 3, you
mentioned CassMed again and its expansion. What particular institutions will be
Tokoin’s beneficiaries? Will you be able to partner with medical institutions
around the world?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Absolutely😉
pokat: Healthcare is a huge concentration around the
world however Tokoin is taking extra careful on the development side,to
re-prioritize our roadmap,there will be more updates coming.
https://neoclinic.id/ is interesting though
we were
discussing with Neo Clinic
D. Папа Роуч: nice! what will be your future plans by the
way? which areas you will explore in 2021?
you can
share your roadmap with us?
pokat: please look forward to our updated white paper
soon
