In fact, sales in stores, a candy, a coin with the Bitcoin logo on the wrapper. It is such a treat for only $ 1.

In social networks, this has become very popular. Especially on Reddit — the resource, which is the backbone of the users are geeks and cryptoanalysis.

I wonder what Walmart chose to do without official comment or press release about your new product that caused a stir.

It was previously reported that about 1.5 years, the American retail company Walmart waited the publication of the patent application, which describes the use of blockchain technology for tracking delivery of goods to a certain buyer.

The Bureau on registration of patents and trademarks U.S. in may this year approved the application submitted by Walmart.

The new system will allow the client to register the purchase after he first purchased a product. The platform can be used as a digital shopping platform where customers can specify a reasonable price for resale of the goods.

Also recently, Walmart decided to patent the delivery system of goods with Autonomous vehicles, connected via the blockchain. The company published the patent application, which proposed to apply the technology of the distributed registry to store information about payments and protection from unauthorized access.
