Hi Julia_KA,

You can find the answers on second page - 2nd post.

Can I book hotel rooms and air tickets anywhere?

Hi hadang,

yes exactly you will only need to have internet access and lotus on your account to book any flight or hotel.

So what is your competitive selling point in attempt to penetrate traveling sector that's already have a great competitors with an almost similar apk (although they still only have fiat as their payment method) like Agoda and Trivago? They also offer the same service where you only needed your internet-connected phone to book hotels and flights.

In fact, people might prefer them more than Lotus because of some reason like below:
1. They are better known and familiar than Lotus. A lot of people have use it, and could recommend new people to use them instead of Lotus.
2. They sometimes offered promotions like vouchers and discounts
3. They're in fiat  which means they are more applicable and acceptable by a wider users (at least for now, while crypto is slowly fusing itself with our daily life) than ethereum-based token
4. You're in crypto, which is infamous for its volatility. I believe it will be the least interest of anyone to book a hotel worth 100 USD which at that moment (let's say) equals to 1,000 LTK only to find that the next two days, LTK rises and they can have the room at a mere 500 LTK.
5. And ultimately, their beloved mobile app could literally decide at anytime that it's time for them to apply bitcoin or ether as their newest payment method. This will instantly reduce your bargaining point because (a) as mentioned on point 1, these applications are better known and people will feel more comfortable on using them instead of the relatively new app (b) the usage of btc or eth (or even doge) which has a stronger market position will be considered as a more safe option if they want to try a crypto-payment-holiday than LTK.

Please mind that I'm not trying to corner you here. I only suggested  some points that you might (or might not) missed. Also please mind that I haven't read your WP, so I wouldn't know if those points are already on your control or not. But a lot of new comers and end-users also wouldn't bother reading a lot of pages just to book tickets (hey, we even skipped TnC that's only few paragraphs long) so you might want to make these points clear to your future customers.
That's a very thorough review. And straight to the point. Will be interesting to see the reply =)

Hi Robert de Crypto Booking,
Lotus, in this case, means hotels and flights, both as you said
- The minimum amount for contributions is 0.2ETH, so you have no issue


Really nice project. only book for ticketing? how about hotel? would be great combine the both. support your project. By the way, how if I will purchase only 0.5 ETH would I?

Currently you will be able to do that at airports (Lotus to fiat) and you will also have your lotus card wich you will be able to use in any place that accepts cards.

This is awesome  Shocked. Do you have a plan about exchange lotus token into fiat? I mean when I travel to any country, can I pay a hotel with lotus and withdraw my lotus in that hotel?

Hi ganegani91,
We do, but we target main countries were Lotus will start working.

interesting idea
unfortunately this project lacks the support of large ads and works with larger projects
I am sure this will be beneficial for the progress of this project


Hi Ehis98,
Please check our Bounty Campaigns, you can also join our telegram group (on top) and check the latest news and updates.
Nice project though...  But how do we get the airdrops

Hi iozver,

Each form has been updated, now everyone can add its ethereum address

How to update your info:

- Send an email to: update@lotus.sh
- Email
- Ethereum address - Myetherwallet - Metamask or MIST
- Forms you have filled (Translation, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)

I already twice did not receive an award from companies where I had to send my wallet address after the completion of the companies. So there is no trust anymore.


Hi opium,

there is no need of reports we will take care of it.
Writing your own tweets / posts, an indispensable condition? Reports as I understood to send Do not need?


Hi cakravothy,

    Hi Rabby637,

    Lotus will be in 3 exchanges a month after ICO; August 2018 will be the date for Lotus to be "Listed on new exchange platforms"

    I wish lotus token will be success.
    I visit your website & I see the roadmap of lotus token.
    Why you will take too much time to add lotus coin on exchanger??

    Hi takeyourtime,

    Regarding your question, yes there will be a bounty program and 3 airdrops as the whitepaper says they will be coming soon.

    Hi. is there a bounty program?

    Hi tania30,

    Lotus will also accept other crypto currencies like bitcoin, ethereum, etc.
    - At the time of payment it will exchange to the current rate LTO to pay for your booking.

    What currency or crypto is available for payment when I travel with your company?

    Hi s2sallbygrace,

    You can cancel you hotel bookings without worrying for any fee, regarding airlines they have their own cancellation fee which is around $200.

    So I can cancel my hotel bookings without worrying for a higher fee? How about airline booking, if I want to cancel my airline booking due to some circumstances, there is no cancelation fee?

    Hi hynext,

    We are working on this and all will be revealed in due time! Thanks.

    I been reading your whitepaper. Fiat-LTO automated conversoin and teller machines at various airports and partner establishments with withdrawal capability using atm cards. Can you give us various airports and establishment with withdrawal capability? Where can I found this?

    Hi kyanscadiel,

    we invite you to read our post on the second page with more information about what will be our strategies to make Lotus stand out.

    What you offer for travelers is really a good one but you have a lot of competitors when it come to this kind of business. What are the strategies you have to make your platform stand out and to more competitive than the others?

    - Due to the problem with CryptoKitties that is causing ethereum network congestion our Early adopters ANN will be delayed.

    Hi holydarkness, regarding your questions.

    1. They are better known and familiar than Lotus. A lot of people have use it, and could recommend new people to use them instead of Lotus.

    • Lotus is a new creation and so wouldn't currently be as mainstream as the aforementioned travel agencies.
    • Existing travel agencies use legacy and outdated traditional and proprietary booking platforms with varying complexity from one agency to the other,  these old infrastructure setups are costly and complex, not to mention year-on-year increase on operating cost.
    • We aim to simplify, modernize and secure these outdated platforms into a simpler and more manageable way by using blockchain technology.

    2. They sometimes offered promotions like vouchers and discounts

    • We’re different in that side context, as well as vouchers & discounts Lotus will work with an upgrade system which means you will get upgrades for free, Lotus will also have an affiliate rewards system and those two features are considered better than any offer or discount any agency can offer.

    3. They're in fiat which means they are more applicable and acceptable by a wider user (at least for now, while crypto is slowly fusing itself with our daily life) than Ethereum-based token

    • We aim to operate 'machines' similar to an ‘ATM’ in Airports that transfer FIAT into Lotus and vice-versa allowing for low-fee currency exchange.
    • The issue a lot of holiday makers have is that when they're heading home, they have currency left-overs which end up in their drawers at home, or they get it exchanged with a high % fee. We can completely rule this fee out with Lotus machines.
    • So, what if you have those left-overs and instead of bringing them home just by using the Lotus machines you can get that money back in your card.

    4. You're in crypto, which is infamous for its volatility. I believe it will be the least interest of anyone to book a hotel worth 100 USD which at that moment (let's say) equals to 1,000 LTK only to find that the next two days, LTK rises and they can have the room at a mere 500 LTK.

    • Volatility can be controlled just by setting up our token to represent a real-world value (X) that can’t be disclosed for now, but as you said we can't stop volatility with BTC and ETH, but that is the point even when we can’t stop it we can control it and, as bitcoin and any other crypto currency most people hold because of its volatility.

    5. And ultimately, their beloved mobile app could literally decide at anytime that it's time for them to apply bitcoin or ether as their newest payment method. This will instantly reduce your bargaining point because (a) as mentioned on point 1, these applications are better known, and people will feel more comfortable on using them instead of the relatively new app (b) the usage of btc or eth (or even doge) which has a stronger market position will be considered as a safer option if they want to try a crypto-payment-holiday than LTK.

    Simple, most people nowadays are looking for cheap prices, fast service and easy handling of what they just booked.
    We offer 3 things:

    • Cheap prices, and fast service (real time)
    • Upgrade, Rewards & Offers system
    • Have you ever had the problem that you booked with a travel agency and needed a change on your booking, so you need to call the airline and then call the travel agency and then get charged more just by the “booking service”?    

    - Now with your Lotus card on your account it's simple! You book your “hotel – flight” and if you need to make any changes it will be much less trouble just to give them a call directly and make the changes instead of waiting for hours or days with extra fees to have it done.






    Can I book hotel rooms and air tickets anywhere?

    Hi hadang,

    Hi AmoreJaz,
    Due to our cache system the whitepaper wasnt updated,
    LTK was the previous Ticker Lotus had, rebranded to LTS

    - Thanks for letting us know we really appreciate it. [fixed]


    There are already at least two tokens with "LTS" please offer info so everyone can know the difference between this project and all the other clones?

    and under your ICO details it says that the cost of 3000 LTK = 1 ETH..... so what is the actual token here?
