Title: Make Coin by Sharing your wifi - very experimental Post by: slosh on September 01, 2014, 10:59:54 PM Thinking out loud
what does everyone think about a coin that acts as a rewarded to people who run an open guest network on their router? The more internet or users the host gives away the more coins they make.

there must will be some control of the users...

There might be too many technical and practical issues in the way of the public hotspot use case, though. Like I wouldn't share my connection because whatever is done by any anon user on it would get blamed on me by my ISP.

The more internet or users the host gives away the more coins they make. I proposed a basic simple version of this a long time ago. a mobile device on a mesh network , but with "on ramps" that were company sponsored around cities the idea was to basically give the handset out at cost and this would provide the mesh network - with "on ramps" connecting peer hubs. revenue could be generated from a number of ways once the "free" network is viable. a "block-chain aspect" could just provide end to end encryption also extra incentive. it would be feasible, not going to work in a police surveillance state but. |
