@egordeev: “A clear and simple example of how you can use blockchain in real life:
- You have an office
- There is a vending machine in there
- Every day, employees are credited with coins they can use to pay for coffee, snacks, stuff like that. Not everyone has a startup business and can spend investor money on a kitchen with endless food and drink; many pay for those things
- There is an office coin (token), and it will work only on the company’s devices. But it has a real value, and if one of the employees wants something beyond the limit, they can buy more of it. Or vice versa: sell to top up a mobile phone or pay for gas. Or transfer it to a colleague, of course
- Each charge is in the chain and can be tracked, if necessary—e.g., for statistics, reporting purposes
Below is a video that shows how it works.
Now imagine that instead of a vending machine, there are gated parking lots connected to the blockchain (each tenant has a limit); paid WiFi access points at an airport, hotel, or park (you scan, pay, and get the amount of time you’ve bought); interactive billboards (type the text, send it, and your better half sees the message), etc.
All of this can be done on a simple Raspberry Pi board and a fast Minter blockchain.
First, people will pay machines via the blockchain, and over time, machines will be paying other machines for people as they simply don’t know what Visa or a bank account is. What they need is a specific payment status, not ‘please contact your bank.’”
