Hey guys, if you have not heard about it I bought a cruise ship with a few other investors and we are all big Bitcoin supporters so we're calling it the MS
Satoshi and turning it into a Crypto Cruise Ship to be anchored close to Panama City (within Panama waters, under a Panama flag...so completely under Panama law FYI).
We will be accepting Bitcoin as payment at all shops and restaurants so I need to start looking at current solutions out there right now for making this happen.
I think NFC will be ideal as a payment method because we can also use NFC for access to your room and other applications. Even getting to the point that you just have an NFC smart ring that you can wear around the ship.
My question is, are there any Bitcoin NFC Point of Sale machines out there for sale or that would like to trial the machines on the ship? I checked out General Bytes ATM and I am impressed by the NFC cards they print out which can be used to make bitcoin payments.
I would rather payments be over Lightning Network since it would not make sense to pay for your $3 lunch with a high fee. I have not seen much about NFC lightning payments other than some discussion a few years ago by Igor Cota.
The ship will be a micro economy for testing these things out. Let's make it happen and make it happen in such a way that everyone will want to be paying with Bitcoin.
