Where's the team?

"without involving a third party"   ? withour third party , you can not link to free wifi , or you are the third party ,  we have so many tool like this ,searching it ,,,,,

In the spirit of full disclosure...
The post might not be pretty like some other crowdsales (images and all that), and even though it's partly because this is a new account, it's mainly because I'm a developer, with a clear picture of what is achievable and what is not with this project.
I'm not trying to sell, I'm trying to innovate and radically change the way people connect to the Internet in the process.
The budget, as you might have seen, is lower than most crowdsales out there, simply because based on calculations and financial advice, this is where the estimated cost comes at.
If I could do it for free, I would, but even rice and beans, beans on toast or any other delicacy of your choice comes at a price.
Hopefully the incentive of being paid will motivate a couple of bright minds to join the project.


I'm a one man team until I find the appropriate help (dev & sales). As you can see in the roadmap on the website, I hope the crowdsale and putting the idea out there will spark interest in a couple of like minded people to take on the ambitious task of bringing it to life.
Like many developer, I'm not a sales person, and a sales person is really needed when talking to other sales person!
As for the second developer, for a project like this to have someone playing devil's advocate on every decision, as well as brainstorming is a major plus. Even though the project and the design are already well defined (and some of it already in testing), some design implementations will benefit greatly from a second look.


In the context quoted, "without a third party" means no hotspot gateway centrally controlled by a third party (like airport WiFi for example), as the blockchain will handle all these functions, the router will mostly act as a dumb "yes/no" machine in the process.
See below about the "free" part (which I never said).
I don't believe any tool exists that does what this project aims to do, but if you have a link, please share, maybe we can combine forces.


As long as a project is viable, anything less than ambitious is a waste. 
Hotspot doesn't necessarily means free. Free hotspot usually means poor quality though. This project aims to correct that.
As described in the whitepaper, the price is set by the owner, which means they can provide it for free if they want.
What this project is aiming at is supplying the owner with an incentive to provide a good quality hotspots by way of a low usage fee for the users.
This is the same principle used by the blockchain with the miners, but applied to the router owners, they provide an Internet connection in exchange for a fee, just like the miners provide computer power for a fee.
An good incentive goes a long way towards improving the quality of service.
The goal is nothing short of making roaming as easy and as cheap as possible through WiFi instead of mobile data. With millions of routers out there, it is even possible to provide Internet connection to roamers in places where mobile data is unavailable, whereas in big cities, it will be a very competitive environment which should drive the connection quality and usage fee to new limits.

Similar idea - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1869213.0. But it seems that, such idea is already dead. No progress til now. So I don't know if this one will gonna be successful.  And one-man team? This will be difficult for him. Anyway, best of luck!

You must be joking right ?
Team member expanding after icos end ?
Are you sure it's a project ? Lack of preparation,one man developer in the beginning (which is how can you develop this project if you're alone in the begining even after the ico what will happen ? You need a partner to create a project to help you handling a problem,if ypu're looking for new team after project runing,you need to spens more time to teach and consulting about your idea to him)

This sounds like a rather interesting concept, and honestly it doesn't seem as infeasible as everyone is making it out to be. It would probably work like this:

Custom firmware for router re-targets the splash page for "guest" access to instead request a payment in BHT, which is confirmed on the blockchain before access is granted.

Wow... That was easier than I thought.

Now for the scope creep though.... Custom firmware for all the different router manufacturers, creating an easy way for hotspot owners to edit the charge amount, tapping into the router stats to broadcast Up/Down speed and ping as a measure of quality... Yeah, it's gonna get crazy and you're gonna need a bigger team.

Personally, I think this is a fantastic idea. I'll be watching this to see how it goes.

The proposition of an application actually makes this seem easier to accomplish. All the application really needs to do is turn on the hotspot, grab the syn packet, and send an ack packet to the connecting device once the payment is confirmed. That would be really low overhead in regards to battery drain on the phone and the app wouldn't require much in the way of coding. Coding for various OS's would be a bit time-consuming, but not nearly so much a coding custom firmware for thousands of routers.

So, to break it down into layman's terms starting from discovery:

Download the application (wallet integration perhaps to make this exceedingly simple for new users?).
Launch application and allow user to choose between connecting to a hotspot or hosting one (search features such as preferences for speed, ping, price, etc. for priority searches, likely later in lifecycle post-launch).
If hosting, specify price, connection time, allowable connections at once, etc. Profit.
If looking for hotspots, choose hotspots visible in-app (bluetooth tethering for phones? Proximity map updating frequently to show nearby hotspots? Stretch goals!!!) and unlock wallet, send payment, wait for confirmation, do web stuff.

Look about right?

This is one of the most ridiculous ideas I have ever heard of, especially with hosting an ICO for it.

In my country Shopping Centers give you free HotSpot Wi-fi, Telephone Boxes, even the local parks, so what makes paying for your service much better than what we already have when you want to grab the attention of investors, develop something that already exists which is free to the public & then charge for it ?

Go back to the drawing board

Oh man how wrong are you... The government in my country (Yes, my Country) spends money for these free services and maintains them, it is a bit like Public Libraries.... a service being provided for free so you can read.

Also on the note of speed, it doesn't really matter as we aren't living in the Dial-up days anymore so essentially whatever connection speed they are providing is good enough for hundreds if not thousands of people to be using it at the same time.

Point I am trying to make is, why bring a crypto into this & charge an ICO for the coins when the technology has been out for years, is now free and has been implemented in most countries that aren't 3rd World ?

Seems like a quick, got to pick a pocket or two scheme.
