So About That Live Goat Delivery

1

In the V3 official whitepaper, there is the following quote, “… STORJ token to be the primary
form of payment, in the future other alternate payment types could be implemented,
including Bitcoin, Ether, credit or debit card, ACH transfer, or even physical transfer of live goats.”

So…any updates on the goats?

Thanks for your interest in the project! As a nimble startup, one of our challenges is balancing competing priorities in the way that most accurately reflects a focused go-to-market strategy. Unfortunately at times this laser-focus means we may have less time for efforts toward G.E. (goat evaluation)

To stay up to date on all our Goat developments and other interesting news, I recommend following our blog, subscribing to the forum Announcements section (#category-announce,) or checking out the quarterly Town Hall.

I suggest holding a raffle annually and a lucky winner gets to receive his month’s earnings in goat countervalue, making sure the value is an integer, to avoid mailing drumsticks, steaks, etc.

lol it would certainly be a big PR hit to send a live goat to a SNO for payment :rofl: After that everyone will know about Tardigrade.

I feel very stupid right now. From reading this I assumed there was some kind of cryptocurrency referred to by “Live Goats”. A quick google search proved me wrong.

Countervalue means an equivalent value in another currency, so euro would have a countervalue of 1.18 in US dollars, or perhaps 40 microgoats.

:joy: :joy:

Anything will work once it gets viral. And the crazier the better :smiley: (well unless you make some mistakes like offending someone/groups/minorities/etc. But can’t think of anyone who would be offended by storjlabs paying with a goat :smiley: Not sure how that would work for taxes though lol )
