I will soon have a premium hotel. How to make as many as possible bitcoin transactions out of it?

- Give 5-10% off of advance room reservations when paying bitcoin (wpb)?
- Give 20% off of restaurant bill if it's over $100 per person wpb?
- QR-code room service menus with one click ordering?
- In bars, also direct ordering from tables wbp?
- All staff wears/carries QR-codes for tipping?


You could wrap up speed and convenience in a way that people will notice.  You could have restaurant, bar, or room service menus with scancodes.  Your customer can just scan the code and touch the 'confirm payment' button that appears on his phone, to order and pay for an item in one step.  Done.  No waiting for waitstaff, no need to call roomservice, no mistranscribed orders, no messing about with the bill, etc. 

Likewise any 'extras' that the hotel might provide as convenience services, such as hair salon or spa appointments, dry cleaning or laundry, conference rooms, A/V equipment, stay extensions, and the thousand other things in your hotel service directory -- Scan once, and done. 

I can even picture the hotel pushing the 'convenience payment' for services outside of the hotel itself; for example cut a deal with a cab company that allows them to put some predefined scancodes into your hotel's service directory.  Then, if someone wants a cab to the airport/downtown, they can pay for it the same way they pay for things in the hotel itself, and it's absolutely seamless as far as the customer is concerned. 

Or, you know, they could use that old-fashioned phone number thing, go through the hassle of talking to a human, then go through later hassle of getting out their wallet and paying for the ride in a separate step, etc....  that's in the service directory too, but it's a pain in the ass by comparison, right?

Cool if I can be responsible for multimillion$ increase in bitcoin market cap Smiley
 

Wow, this is amazing. Seeing as you have good reputation, I'm willing to help out with anything I can.
Student with a lot of time on his hands and fluent in 4 languages.

4 languages? Impressive!

There was a joke once circulating around:

What do you call a person that speaks two languages?  Bilingual.

What do you call a person that speaks three languages?  Trilingual.

What do you call a person that only speaks one language?  American.  Wink

I, unfortunately, fall into the last category.  I guess we feel like we can get by with English in most of the world.  Also, I think start teaching foreign languages too late in our schools.  Most students only start taking another language in high-school but studies have shown that it is much easier for very young children to pick up other languages.  Oh well.  I am thankful for Google translate.

For Americans, maybe English and Ebonics count as bilingual?

Thanks! You have any experience in website design?

BitChick: In Europe, speaking 4-6 languages is commonplace, and I presume Acidyo is from here also Wink

Together, me and my wife speak Finnish, English, Swedish, German, French, Russian, Estonian and Spanish. In decreasing order of fluency Grin

Wow this is really impressive Smiley

Well... if I devote 30 minutes to learning a new language every day, by watching the YouTube tutorials, how much time it will take me to master the language fully? I am referring to a world language, such as French, German or Russian.

Well spending 30 minutes of your time to watch a language tutorial may be faster than watching some television series with English Subtitles
But you can learn the connotations and the subtexts while learning the main language through dramas and television shows
French I guess reading Le Petit Prince and learning from Children Stories would help
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mVBaKd45jk
German and Russian never tried myself although
Guess you can find stories as well bit slower but in exchange more entertaining
That or find your favorite series and try to find the subtitles in English and rewatch in German Russian or French
Or music Smiley
