If i may ask you said about:-

Real Time Tracking-

Does it mean i can track my container the way i use to track my item been purchased on online store ?

exactly that's one of the things they aims to achieve, you can read more on their white paper.

you are correct @chokomenia thanks for providing the feedback

Yeah real tracking will track the containers to know their exact location

Please @nwanne when are you doing the ico review of this particular project and what's your current view on the project?

Wow that's so great. thanks for attending to my request

anytime, hope you are still following my recent reviews, been a while a saw your comments

Great introduction about blockshipping but I don't seems to understand why they keep postponing their ICO

No doubt it's bear market, reaching hard cap for ICO's these days is a difficult task, so I guess they are postponing to raise more money

@valnd you might be right, but u think the decision is healthy for the project.

It's the team decision and I believe they do so for the best interest of the project and the whole community.
