My congratulations to all local entrepreneurs who are gearing up their printers to print "replacement" QR codes to put over the existing ones, once the 25-refill limit is reach.
- arccy 2y agopresumably the QR code is just an ID and the actual counting is done on a server, so there's not much room for "replacement" qr codes
- out_of_protocol 2y agoIt could be an ID in the central database, or jwt-style signed token. More crypto-punk stuff ;) (not related to cryptocurrency). "Valid bottle" sounds funny
- ortusdux 2y agoReminds me of the RFID tags used to limit refills - https://www.validfill.com/solutions#overview https://www.validfill.com/solutions#overview
- wlesieutre 2y agoUnique codes will finally allow the implementation of "drink verification can to continue" with validation that the user hasn't reused a previously scanned can
- crazygringo 2y agoYou've got it backwards -- it's a 25-refill minimum, not limit. And what do entrepreneurs care? They send the bottles back to Coca-Cola regardless. The Coca-Cola truck comes, picks up crates of empty bottles and drops off crates of full bottles. From the way it's written, it sounds like it's a tool for Coca-Cola to track bottle usage, to separate bottles into separate streams for reuse and now-can-be-recycled.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoAh, I thought this was for customers to get free refills.

- dialup_sounds 2y agoThat's not how any of this works. The bottler is reusing the bottle 25 times, not the end consumer.
