Cryptocurrency and beer

[Matt Downer]

I got invited to a newly started cryptocurrency so thought I'd share the love:
minepi.com/mattdowner
Also, I wonder how all this new blockchain and crypto stuff could be used in the beer and brewing world? Imagine if some shops started taking orders on crypto. Could blockchain be used to solidify stats or recipes somehow?

There are some companies using blockchain tech to record supply chain data. I guess the same could be done for brewing supplies to verify harvest dates etc., not sure I can think of any other use within brewing. 

What does minepi do? Looks a bit like uplexa (mining-wise) but I can't see what use the coins are once you have some.

Dates, fair enough. Yeah, I've not got any other ideas on it. Pi is another alt currency. No ICO yet - still in beta. Will just earn and see what happens in a couple years. Network based at the moment with no real proof of work yet.
