Hi all!
I am contemplating, how to design a hotel, which uses the Bitcoin technology in every possible way.
One line of thinking goes like this:
Upon check-in, everybody receives an Android smartphone, which acts as their command center during the stay. It serves many functions:
- Calling (no need to care about high price for foreign network or different standard in your own mobile - this one calls all local numbers for free)
- Room service/local services (most important numbers are pre-programmed)
- Wallet (it has bitcoins that you can transfer from your own wallet or buy from the reception; everything in the hotel can be bought with bitcoins)
- Tipping (all staff of the hotel wear tipping address)
- Room control (room controls such as temperature)
- Room key (scan/show a code to get in to your room).
