Title: bitcoin-activated power plug on the campground - possible?
Post by: moses on August 14, 2014, 06:48:09 PM
hey guys,

i want to make the following two things possible with bitcoin:

A - pay for energy on the campground (iŽlike to have a plug near to where the tent is set up that has a qr-code on it. 1 hour = 10 mbit)
B - pay for showers on the campground (instead of having to buy those special shower-coins)


how would one go about this? is there already something like this being build? i remember seeing a video of a guy who had a mobile gas station that worked with bitcoin.

for A there would have to be a device that listens to the blockchain and switches the plug on when a payment comes in. could this device be set up far away? how far away (because i wouldnŽt want to install internet-connection on the entire campground.)
for B there would also have to be a device, but this one would have to be right there in order to switch water on and off, right? any plumbers around? :)

thanks for taking the time to read this and maybe give it a thought!
