Why not just gateway for boingo or ipass or BT Openzone?
If I can get on boingo with BTC, that'd be great! They are everywhere, it seems. Yes, I could set this up without much difficulty. Have existing high level partnership relationships with these global wifi providers, and the authentication management elements. The only concern is whether there is sufficient demand and how much I am willing to lose to find out.  After running some numbers, I can do this maybe with even less than 50 subscribers if we charged enough (yuck, I wish there were more of us). Can do a global rollout, and provide Bitcoin payment for most of the major WiFi providers. It would take a couple months, a small team of sub-contractors to share the bounty/revenue, and maybe a type-A, B-school grad to manage it as CEO once it is set up. |

Just to be clear, this bounty was posted several years ago, and I am definitely no longer willing to give 20 BTC now.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

It really surprises me that this has been an idea for so long by so many different people and has yet to be anything usable. Whats the major holdup?
While I like that there are projects out there for the 21 computer, Id like to see this done on a rpi or even windows/linux desktop on the network.

This sounds like a really cool idea. I don't think it would be terribly difficult either. Just have to set up some APIs for making payments and adding some unique identifier for the current device to a list of verified devices. And then of course you'd need all requests to go through your application, and block ones that are not found in the list of verified devices (or have expired or whatever).
