Title: Cars providing USB and Ethernet plug for bitcoins. And fuel!!! Post by: remotemass on December 19, 2013, 06:30:23 AM Cars having a USB plug for charging and an ethernet plug for broadband access that would be available if you sent some coins to a QR code next to the written rules and instructions.
And also selling fuel!!! http://oi41.tinypic.com/28s817p.jpg Title: Re: Cars providing USB and Ethernet plug for bitcoins. And fuel!!!

I am pretty sure it means a USB port to charge your cellphone using the car's battery. Not a port to charge the car's batter over USB from some public USB charging station.

Let me guess a car infected with DRM such as this Renault? http://boingboing.net/2013/11/13/renault-ships-a-brickable-car.html (http://boingboing.net/2013/11/13/renault-ships-a-brickable-car.html) Title: Re: Cars providing USB and Ethernet plug for bitcoins.

Both sound kinda bad Also, DRM in a car? ugh, disgusting. thanks for the link Title: Re: Cars providing USB and Ethernet plug for bitcoins. And fuel!!!

I choose to believe he was thinking of charging his car with his USB port inside a Lego enclosure. Maybe it's a very, very, very small electric (toy) car?

Considering the massive cost of car batteries and the fact that every recharge shortens their life, as well as the risk of getting stuck without electricity, I would not allow anyone to charge off of my car even if they paid me. Unless it was an emergency. And I wouldn't even charge my own stuff off of my car unless unless it was a non electric car and the engine was running |
