I suggest you apply some lean principles here and first figure out if the problem you perceive in fact exists and whether or not people are actually desperately looking for alternative solutions. Your current thinking seems to go a bit long the lines of: There must be a huge demand for shoes in Africa since so many people over there walk around barefoot.

That's a good suggestion. Hypothesis on problem is that people have a problem transacting with each other, due to shortage of cash, and thus businesses are losing out on revenue - thus a trusted means of exchange would see adoption. Tricky thing is that it's a volatile situation, this might be true this week but all will depend on what resolution the politicians come to on Monday. I'm not sure how to operate lean in a highly volatile situation like this... any thoughts?

  Perhaps lean doesn't always work especially in situations where people's lives are at stake.
