Topic: Bitcoin Bed and Breakfast Travel Project (Read 1736 times)

Hi guys! Do you remember me?
How is your development going?
I saw some activity in the thread and decided to write. After reading the last comments, I thought that maybe you should pay attention to Dether dapp, they don't intersect conceptually with your project, but I think you can learn from them something useful for yourself.
Also I'm waiting for you in my enough active thread, when you have a working product ready and if you are going to hold an ICO

Thanks for your answer,
But like I've explained we are building the project in two phases, first one it's only a website to get a good database and people been able to use it, like a beta in a project
Of course for everything else like the wallets and currencies, I've explained that our system will come later with also the final version of the website
All the features we have listed before will be available during the beta,

The main goal of the beta, is for example :
George knows Bitcoin but he doesn't know nothing about it he has a free room at his house, so he rents it for altcoins or bitcoins,
Paul knows Bitcoin but he doesn't want to buy, but he has a little restaurant, than he will be able to list his business on the site and get people know that he starts accepting Bitcoin and Altcoins,
John found a place where you can find an ATM for Bitcoins, then he add the ad on the website and people will know that there they can exchange Bitcoins and use it
You can find a lot of examples

Thanks


Hello dude,
You're right opinions are what is changing the world after all, so glad to have it thank you,

#1 The goal here is to be able to add different currencies, for example you are a business owner or someone who rent his house you choose the coins you accept on your ads,
For example you can accept Bitcoin Litecoin Dogecoin IOTA Ethereum etc.. you're free to list what you accept
#2 It's true, but you can make an escrow system and also this as been true since the beginning of Bitcoin and it never stopped business to grow
#3 If you checked Bitpay Card is not available anymore in EU for example same as other cards, and here the goal again is to mix Altcoins and Bitcoins not just to spend
#4 Our goal is to get the cryptos mainstream for people, letting business and normal people have a chance to get some coins not to make a pure marketplace

Your opinion is welcome, but I think you didn't get the concept of the project, here we are making something to get the Bitcoin and Altcoins mainstream for business and for people,
I don't want to remplace Airbnb, but to make something that will link people on crypto

Thanks

I don't want to be the wet blanket on the party here, but the reason this seems like a pipe dream is:
#1 bitcoin transactions are too slow slow and expensive for real-world retail usage.
#2 with crypto payments you have no purchase protection.
#3 now you can just use SHIFT or BitPay and you draw from your BTC wallet with a debit card.
#4 everyone accepts debit cards and you won't get sneered at trying to use your freaky crypto.
(just my opinion)

Are you sure that you can implement all the needed features into Wordpress?
Your project reminds me a lot of Airbnb, and I would think that you'd want a custom solution or at least a cms that's a bit more customizable than Wordpress.

It also seems a bit weird to focus on explaining to your users how Bitcoin and wallets work. Your customers are going to be people who already have experience with that, which is why they want to use your website to rent a home or apartment.

Thanks for your answers, actually I can't share the url because it's not ready yet for public, it will be buggy,
Note that we took a simple wordpress and had to made some changes for adding currencies to the ads, we have set private message for people having privacy too,

The main goal is to have a website where people can post their ads and make a good database, in the first launch we will maybe ask people to use Coinomi Wallet or Jaxx,
Because with this we want people to understand that they can accept any currency and exchange it as soon as possible directly on the wallet app,
We want also to let people get some coins and make a portfolio even if they don't understand mining and if they don't even want to spend money directly to buy it, as the best way to gets Bitcoins today is by just accepting it,
In fact just making Bitcoin and Altcoins mainstream !

We will make our own by the time, same as for the website, but as we want to build something strong and support the currencies online we don't want to take any risks for the start,
That's why we are already building the inside team who will take care of all the security aspects of the project,

About the marketing side, I can just tell you that we have contacts and we have really the possibility to grow up fast as soon as we got the final product,

We will be really 100% on this project from the 20 February 2018, we will make a roadmap and explain our vision, actually we are only at 50% due to others project to be finished soon

I like this concept because 1) I love to travel, 2) I am from a country focused on tourism, and 3) I am from a country with growing bitcoin (and altcoin) awareness. There is already a bitcoin ATM a few kilometers from me and also a restaurant accepting payment in bitcoin. Whether AirBnB accepts cryptocurrency is beside the matter. Having a complete listing for itineraries is the goal. At least as I understand it from your post. Good luck!

Good idea, a little bit of work in perspective but it could help the cryptos community grow. Many hotels may be a little reluctant to this type of payment but individuals may be interested.
The idea of the BitBackpacker is perhaps the right plan to start and will find an interest parallel to Expedia.

idea nice but I'm not really curious on make a payment with cryptos for now. because they have very changable curriences

would you share the url site? very eager to see the implementation on the project ideas.
do you have yet official business relations to hotels, transportations and perhaps tourist places?

Just to tell you that the project is still going I'll be the manager of this project now

The website is now tested in live and we will release the beta as soon as it works correctly,
We should see an open beta version coming by the next week if all goes well,

Thank you all

 Now cryptocurrency is becoming more popular and more people are getting involved and interested in bitcoins since bitcoin is familiar to people bitcoin can be used to travel and accomodations are provided by accepting bitcoin currencies.There are several sites that provides us to confirm before we reach the destination .So without using physical currency we can travel over the world with the aid of bitcoin without starving .

This is an interesting idea, however, there are a few huge issues that would need to be resolved before it could become popular. One of the major issues with Airbnb is the customer server. How do you plan on doing customer service with a blockchain? Imagine for example, someone books a room and then they damage the room. There is no such thing as a "hold" on blockchains so you wouldn't be able to get reimbursement for damages. The same thing goes with refunds when booking something that turns out poorly. For example, when you take an Uber and the driver gets in an accident, Uber will refund the trip. You can't do that with a blockchain. There needs to be some way to inject customer service into an idea like this before it becomes mainstream. There are just too many issues that arise during a normal trip that a blockchain can't handle. Additionally, the high fees and long transaction times of Bitcoin make it impractical for frequent use.

Have you thought of these issues? What are you thoughts or plans to handle them?

This is a really good opportunity for you and Bitcoin to become popular. Because a lot people wants to eat and travel. Haha. Goodluck on your project.

Hey dude its really good project I hope you will succeed

Hello everuone !
I think, it'll be a great idea. It will allow people to learn different cultures and explore the world as a whole! The important thing for this idea, to find someone who would be interested in promoting this.

Amazing project...
That's a good way of publicity of Bitcoin if your project will be able to support these service then people will be able to make use Bitcoin while they travelling. Basically, while we are travelling around the world then we are facing some sort of problems like paying the hotel bill, Food and others Bills. so your project will be a blessing for Bitcoin holders.
Since Bitcoin is a good way for the payment so that it can help also all the tourist person regarding their needs. they can find the amenities related to the tours and travel purpose which really attracts people to use Bitcoin.

How do those cards work? Any idea what kinds of fees they charge to the user, or to the seller?

Yes, I like your concept, but while I don't see your site, your positioning, your team, it's difficult for me to determine whether this corresponds to my imagination about you and your project.

And I think the ability to add new objects should be for all users, possibly with your moderation.
My home is Twitter, dude

Indeed. But I think majority of countries who is known for their tourist spot is accepting bitcoins now. 

@btc_enigma

Thanks a lot for your interest in our project ; like I said, it just motivate us to work harder each day

@m.vina

Thanks a lot to follow the project welcome !
Don't hesitate to share you ideas

@Thirdspace

Thanks a lot dude, I see that you take each details of the project, that's really cool to see people are focus even on little details
That's exactly our idea behind the project, to be more specific, it's to allow people to buy more bitcoins and invest, as they now that they can even use small portions to do everything everyday like in real money,
It will cut the people who keep their coins like gold and don't use it, we need the bitcoin to move from people to people, more we have per day, more the currency will get stable,
Thanks dude so much !

@Crumple Cat

Dude I see you are motivated , please don't hesitate to send me your country by PM or even here,
By this way I'll try to add you as one of the members who can add also some business to it  

@ValoremFoundation

Dude   I don't care about other companies, we don't have to live thinking about others life, specially in Bitcoin, my goal is not to make an Airbnb and take money from people just to keep people be able to exchange messages,
Our goal is to build a place where people can show their business and add systems like inside shops, inside bookings etc.. for all the users who uses Bitcoin be able to know when they travel ( or not ) where they can get food, museums, hotels, appartements etc.. with Bitcoin or Altcoins,
Airbnb is taking a lot of fees, making people doing appartements like hotels etc.. and their system with "Super Host" the reviews system and also kicking the ability to modest people to have a flat inside of big cities,
That's why in the beginning I've asked what you think we should do about this, and with our team, we think that we are going to help the hotels, if hotels propose a lowest price in bitcoin, with some extras that you can pay directly in bitcoin, people tour, etc they will get more customers, and will release the Airbnb pression,
Thanks a lot for your interest I hope it will show our state of mind actually
Cheers

@Thirdspace

Thanks to have answer I've just pointed this feature has we will allow some places for rent, but that's not the main goal of our project,
thanks to have understood it great dude

@All  -- UPDATES ON THE PROJECT --

We are starting EU now, has it's less exposed than US, it will be easier for us after to have some support team to take care of adding projects by the time it grows, and for us to focus on US,
- We have added 40 business in the city of Paris ( We will start here, has we know a little bit Ledger and LaMaisonDuBitcoin and they are helping us on getting a clean and good database )
It's very hard, because the businesses have sometimes no pictures, no websites, etc.. so we are trying to get the most clean infos possible for people have a nice UX

Coming Next Week :

- Adding the feature "Claim your business" on the ads we already made
- Adding the online booking system for hotels and restaurants
- Adding a blog for tips and learn about travelling with bitcoins around the world
- Adding the first security level to the website, customers accounts, business acounts

- If you are from a big city in EU (France,Spain,Portugal), or NYC (Will be later), let us know by PM or even here, we will need some help to start there first
