Topic: Airbnb with blockchain? - page 2. (Read 825 times)
There is project called atlant which use like airbnb system. You can rent the house or place from there. The ico rise approx 7 million usd. The token price way below ico price. It is the most undervalued token. When the platform up in q1 2018 the price can goeasx10 easily.its just my opinion base on what i research.
What's everyone's thoughts on the bee token? They are decentralizing short term housing rentals with blockchain and zero commissions. Their team is made up of engineers from Uber, Google, and Facebook (pretty impressive if you ask me).

And why do we need the blockchain for? I’m not against the idea but I do not see a market for it, airbnb is a giant and I do not see any benefit, the market is already saturated of copy sites and the most important factor is to get people to use your website and I do not see how using a blockchain is going to help the business model. site: https://www.thebeetoken.com/

Yes. I agree with your points. An issue will be adoption though, I think using crypto may be WAAAY ahead of its time for market penetration.The team had better have an education package available, brain dead wallets, incentives and awesome marketing to get people use the new platform beyond the value proposition of reducing fees. Hosts are just getting used to AirBNB, ie. making their place available online to complete strangers and now you want to throw in a crypto coin and having a community regulate the system??? It will blow their minds. As I said there's merit in the idea but far from a slam dunk. BTW, AirBNB is already looking into Crypto/Blockchain. As a host I'd rather continue working with them than adopting a completely new system...
I'm a fan of this project just on the basis of the idea. Sure blockchain is hard for mass adoption, but I think people are more willing to learn (just like when facebook came out). And plus, the crypto community is big. We will be the one's leading the movement.
So my question to you is: you are willing to stick to a limited platform with outrageous fees and unfair dispute resolution? My take on the bee token is that they eliminate the barriers of entry for both guests and hosts along with way more transparency. At the end of the day, I feel like their platform will be very similar and adapting to it won't be a problem for me imo.
Nice find. Incredible team they got there. But not just that, a solid project with real world use behind it too.
I'll definitely be buying some of their ICO once it goes live.

Absolutely will work if... I'm an AirBNB host and alt-coin developer so I have some insight here. (I'm US based). AirBNB works for the following idfferentiating reasons: 1. Awesome search capability / marketplace. 2. The 2 way rating system and 3. Host protections, conflict resolution and the insurance policies in case something goes really wrong. Looks like they have this. Now here's the if: There are so many weird situations and issues (go read the reddit/r/ainbnb) with renting new guests on a weekly or even more frequent basis that really, really good customer service is a necessity. This year in fact I've had to deal with customer service 3 times and they really had to work hard to resolve the issues. If people are interested I can describe them. But my point is that while AirBNB does have high fees, I feel like I'm getting my money's worth both as a host and when I travel. That said, I think this idea is worth working on and am willing to pitch in. ...
very good perspective! Based on my experience with Airbnb, their fees are way higher than they should be. Their dispute resolution is so slow. In contrast to that, a community-regulated platform would speed everything up, meaning not needing any commission fees. I also don't like the barrier to entry of airbnb. They would essentially open up the doors for full participation. It also helps that their team is pretty solid.

My locality is actively trying to weed out AirBnb as well through requiring unreasonably high taxes on what they classify as transient accommodations. Ive been waiting for a service like this especially since AirBnbs fees for both hosts and guests are reaching exorbitant levels.
i dont know in your couontry, but at least here in Spain, things are getting harder.. stronger regulations to this kind of intermediary agents liker AirBNB, uber.... so the success of this project depends on the goverment of each country
