Hi

Both Android and IOS versions of the app are planned. Also, we are looking for offline solutions like Sygic for places where google maps are blocked but that will not be available at launch. That feature will be added as an update. Also, good to know is that this will be a free app. Let me know if you have any other queries.

Thanks!

So, if I understand this correctly, I can go to my local Starbucks cafe, get the password, enter it into the WiC app and thereafter anyone who wants to use that Starbucks' WiFi has to pay WiC's to me ? wouldn't Starbucks have something to say about that ?

Nice question. Ok so first of all, places like starbucks usually have an open network with no password required to connect. After you connect to the Wi-Fi, they ask you to login via their site.

Now, assuming it was password protected and you uploaded the password in the app, yes everyone who wants to connect to that Wi-Fi and use the app will have to pay you. Someone who is not having the app can always try to get the password by asking the staff. Hope that clarifies.

So there's some kinda loophole here.  
Using starbucks as example here - starbucks won't know that you are earning some cryptocurrency from their wifi services if you are the one who uploaded the password. But it will affect their wifi performance owed to others that supposedly are not connected to them.
I bet that shop would not permit their wifi connection to their non-customers. So the scenario would be the same to other shops/stalls that allow their wifi services to their customers only.
It's perfectly fine for malls or airports as they are really catering the public.

Yes this is possible, but businesses that are very particular about this, usually keep changing their passwords consistently.

Hello WiC team, very interesting ideea and will folow. I will join signature campaign to. But i whant to ask some q:
1. It will be posible to share wifi via app from a country to another? Also from a continent to another?
2. What are the benefics from it? Why should i pay for wifi instead of asking the password? It is more secure, fast, untraceble?
3. Regarding the starbuks exemple, how you plan to solve this?

Thanks in advance

Hey, thanks for taking interest.

1) The CryptoWi app will be available to everybody worldwide and anyone with a smartphone will be able to download and use it. Also, all the passwords will be available to every user regardless of country or continent. So if you are a user from New York and go on a holiday to London for example, you will be able to use this app there as well and access passwords of places there.

2) Many a times it is not possible to simply ask for the password. Let me explain this with an example. Suppose you are walking down a street and need to use the internet, you open the app and connect to any available wifi (even if it has a password). On the contrary, if you would had to ask for the password, first you would not know who to ask and second it would be highly likely he/she would not give it to you for free. WiC payments give the wifi owners an incentive to share it.

Another instance where the app would come in handy is when you are traveling to different places. Different countries have different cultures and people might not be willing to just give their wifi to strangers unless they are incentivized in some way. The CryptoWi app solves that.

Then there might be places that give passwords only to their immediate customers like hotels. The app can come in really handy at such places. These are just a few of the many times, this app will make life easier.

3) In the starbucks example you have quoted, the problem is that the wifi performance of the business might go down and they might not like others sharing their wifi passwords. This is in fact not an issue to any user of the app. If anything, users have an advantage with this.

Below is the break up of all coins:

Total supply = 100 Million WiC
ICO = 25 Million WiC
In App Distribution = 10 Million WiC
Bounties = 1 Million WiC
Coins mined by POW = 64 Million WiC

Great! x11 algoritm to bad i can't mine it with my rigs...
Very nice ideea and you make me currios how is actually working.

Users, when they will share wifi, will they be able to set price/time(30min, hour, day)?
And tell us more about security.

Thanks

Thanks for the support! Users will be able to set a one time price, it will not be time based. Using the app won't make you untraceable and it will be like using any other wifi network.

Will you guys put rating system for each wifi host there.?
Easier to pick the good one bfore pay for it.

Rating system might be added as an update. And you never pay for a non-working Wi-Fi, you pay only for correct passwords.
