Cars having a USB plug for charging and an ethernet plug for broadband access that would be available if you sent some coins to a QR code next to the written rules and instructions.
And also selling fuel!!!

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Nice idea, except the voltage and current limitations of USB ports would render their use as charging a plugin hybrid or electric car useless.

I am pretty sure it means a USB port to charge your cellphone using the car's battery.
Not a port to charge the car's batter over USB from some public USB charging station.

... and why would I need to spend my Bitcoins in order to charge a device over USB from my car's battery / alternator? Let me guess a car infected with DRM such as this Renault? http://boingboing.net/2013/11/13/renault-ships-a-brickable-car.html

Concerned that blockchain bloat will lead to centralization? Storing less than 4 GB of data once required the budget of a superpower and a warehouse full of punched cards. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/IBM_card_storage.NARA.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card

Either that or you install it in your car, then a stranger can charge his phone at your car if he sends you bitcoins for it by scanning the QR code with your wallet's address which you glue near the external port on your car.

Both sound kinda bad

Also, DRM in a car? ugh, disgusting. thanks for the link

I choose to believe he was thinking of charging his car with his USB port inside a Lego enclosure.

Maybe it's a very, very, very small electric (toy) car?

more or less retired.

Actually, after better thinking I think it should be provided for free and let people tip if they wanted to say thank you.

Considering the massive cost of car batteries and the fact that every recharge shortens their life, as well as the risk of getting stuck without electricity, I would not allow anyone to charge off of my car even if they paid me. Unless it was an emergency.
And I wouldn't even charge my own stuff off of my car unless unless it was a non electric car and the engine was running
