Where are parking with QR-code?
in my country i've never seen them...

but if you need an Escrow i've contacted you by PM

I currently use a couple parking apps in the states (currently available in Washington DC) that basically already offer these features, expect you store a credit card on file, instead of coins on a wallet. There are scannable QR codes too expedited payment.

Specific, targeted, attainable use case. These kinds of altcoins are leading the charge.

I'll definitely be mining this.

Agreed man. Think how convenient it would be scanning a QR code to pay for parking directly from coin wallet. I've been looking for more coins like this with actual useful use-cases lol

Lets not forget having the ability to extend your parking time from your phone and get a refund on unused parking time

Thank you.

Yes I believe this will lay the path for normal everyday people to get a foot into crypto.

It or something similar will be accepted by big companies like (UK) RingGo, who's parent company "Cobalt’s automated systems have securely processed over £1 billion on behalf of our customers. Our market leading solutions are used by 100 local authorities, 10 rail operators and private companies such as NCP, NSL and Vinci. " I believe those are all UK Car Park Operators

Another one? stop please

OMG a coin for parking your car? WTF.  Huh

Yes, you have obviously never tried to pay over the phone to park or via SMS, I am sure there are loads of complaints about how that system doesn't work (here in UK anyway)

Algo?

Likely SHA hasn't been decided yet

About ParkByte [PKB]:

The idea of this coin is to lay the foundations to give car park operators the platform to integrate with cryptocurrencies with ease.

I see Bitcoin as the tool that is trying to revolutionize the Financial Industry and it shouldn't stop there. There are many other industry's worldwide that could benefit from its technology.

ParkByte will be therefore specifically targeted at laying the foundations for processing parking transactions.

Currently Parking can be paid via many methods but I am yet to see a crypto related method.

In the UK we are able to pay for parking via Companies like RingGo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RingGo), they accept Credit Card, Premium SMS methods but not Crypto.

These type of companies have in the previous years been putting a lot of pressure on conventional coin and ticket machine manufacturers because their system is cost effective. Cobalt, RingGo's parent have now "securely processed over £1 billion" for "4,000 sites across the UK, by more than 60 local authorities, 10 railway operators and numerous private parking operators".

After having worked in the Parking Machine Manufacturing Industry for 5 years, I can see there being a huge amount of potential for this coin, its unique iOS / Android APPs and the backend processing servers.

The coin will provide basic functionality, we could then explore maybe a type of CMS marketplace where developers sell their own themes, plugins etc. for the backend server used by the parking companies.

I have set out the basic process from setup to checking tickets here: http://www.parkbyte.com/the-concept/

There is a 2million PKB premine; this will only be used to pay for development work.

Please note, there are no partnerships/contracts/support at this present moment from any parking related company and I do not intend to build a $100k backend system; that will be for the marketplace/parking companies to build.
