Topic: from ireland to papua new guinea with NXT (Read 1112 times)

I think just at the conceptual stage, but I asked POPPP to post more details here

Cool idea!
Make sure to stop by POPPP's farm in France. He wants to build a real world community that uses NXT as its currency for everything

someone will have to  build the nxt version of bitpay or persuade bitpay to do it. It can be you or me.. or someone else

Anyone know how Bitpay reduces the volatility risk?

Plans for first payment module and underlying system will probably be here end of the weekend.

nice. the first step would be contacting companies to accept nxt as a payment. I paid a hotel by Bitcoins thanks to CheapAir.com. This and other such companies should accept nxt payments. But we need to publish payment applications for such companies. SO after bitpay implementation to nxt and after we have nxt payment plugins for websites, we will be able to pay for hotels and travelling with Nxt

OK, once you have a more definite date, let me know.
These things work best with a short introductory period, otherwise readers move off.
I say we start the site up about a week/week and a half before you leave. That way we can use your preparations to get ready to build some interest.

Pictures will be very important! Be sure to make loads.

You can more easily contact me via PM when you are ready, as there are too many threads to keep track of at the moment.

Great idea. I'm ready to help you anyway I can too. 

I can build a basic site easily and if you give me raw materials like pics and videos and raw copy text make something exciting out of it

It doesn't look to be a daily thing anyway, so that I could fit it in timewise.

We could do a visual donation and spending counter, so it would be easily tracked.

I hope someone like salsacz would like to volunteer a mailing campaign like he did for Nxt itself, as he already has all the addresses for news sources.

In short, ready to help. I like this idea.

that is a very good idea. I would be happy to help you with this. You should create a homepage documenting your journey so anyone can see where you currently are and where you need some funds to help people. If you find someone who needs something the community could throw some money together to help you buy them what they need. And then you can document it with some photos and write the an article about it on the homepage. This would be a great way to make some publicity for nxt.

The nxt the community donates for you can then be exchanged by you for btc or fiat if you need some more cash. You should think abput it how you could use the nxt donated. (as I think that there will be no merchants accepting nxt where you are going)

What are your plans? Do you already have some ideas how you could spread the word about Nxt?

what do you think of the idea of traveling from Ireland to Papua new guinea, with only Nxt as funding doing good deeds along the way for anyone in need.

Obviously i would have to sell allot of Nxt rather than just pay for things with it but i would try to use Nxt as a form of payment whenever i can and i will tip, with Nxt, anyone who helps me.

I could set up an account for anyone who will accept Nxt as a tip/payment and all they will have to do is remember/writedown their pass phrase.

I will be keeping costs as low as possible, staying in hostels or camping where i can. thumbing lifts ect.

I was planning on travelling their anyway and volunteering where ever help is needed along the way and i thought why not try to promote Nxt at the same time?

Any ideas on whether or not this can be done and if it would be supported by the community (i don't mean financially however i would accept any donations and donations will be directly linked to the good deeds) just if you would like me to do something like this and associate myself with the Nxt community? or should i just stick to doing my own thing?

I think this would be a great way to do really good things for real people and would be very good promotion for Nxt.

I am currently in college too so my time frame as it stands now is 3 months. but that is subject to change.

This is not me trying to scam Nxt ether. Hence no donation address will be given.

Thank you for any feedback and please no hate! i am only trying to help!
