Freemit is a blockchain-based service for sending money overseas. https://freemit.com
It was founded by John Biggs, East Coast editor of TechCrunch. Disclosure: John also happens to be a friend of mine. Per the below mail, their pilot program is targeting USA —> India money transactions. I don’t know any more about the service that what’s on their website & in the mail message. As many Silklisters are part of the Indian diaspora, I thought you might be interested. Regards, jrs P.S. John interviewed me at a TechCrunch event in Brooklyn last month. Here I am in my authorial glory, for any who may be curious: http://bigwidelogic.com/2016/05/14/an-interview-with-john-sundman-novelist-about-the-future/ > Begin forwarded message: > > To: <[email protected]> > From: "John Biggs" <[email protected]> > Subject: A Freemit summer > Date: May 29, 2016 at 2:49:01 PM EDT > > > Hi, > > It's been a while since we last spoke.
