Title: World Bike + Bitcoin
Post by: andrehorta on February 03, 2013, 11:37:37 PM
Dears

I would like to do a project, the project would be travel by bike around the world, receiving bitcoin donations, and using only bitcoin to buy food and booking at hostels.

The propose is:

1) Travel from coast west to east of USA
2) Travel from coast west to east of Europe
3) Travel from north to south of Japan

Atention: I have the heath and practice with bike to do this travel, but i dont have courage to exit of my job, lol.

What do you think? I´m planning to make a blog to plan this project!

I think is a great idea to promote the BTC, no only as a money to make virtual exchange (mtgox) but to use on the day-by-day.

Please, i need your ideias! Its a crazy ideia?

There should be stations and stuff in
a few key places in your travel,

A banner on your back displaying
a QR code and your BTC address

a podcast/livestream provided
+ commentators

a reliable android
with 3G, carrying blockchain app.

with that, also a stand
on your bike allowing you to access your
phone without problems.

And if no one ever donates,
You would need about 20BTC already in
your blockchain wallet, just in case.

It would be a great idea , as long
as people are willing on helping propagate
bitcoin :)

If only I had the funds, I could help.

Thank you for your suggestion! The ideia of QR and bitcoin address is very good!

I think is not necessary to use a android with blockchain, Why we cant use a wallet at MtGox for example?

Ps. I decide to donate 10 BTC to this project (to the biker).
