Wificoin lets you buy hotspot access with cryptocurrency

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Who said there were no practical applications?!

"Here’s how it works. Wificoin first installs its open source operating system onto a Wifi router. When new users try to connect to it, they get 100 Wificoin, which they can spend for 1 megabyte each of wifi access. If they need more, they can either buy Wificoin with Bitcoin or Ethereum, or they can install the software on a router they own which earns them Wificoin each time someone uses it."

100 coins for 1 megabyte thats insane. I can get wifi for free.

Installing software on your router, thats like leaving your house unlocked and personally giving strangers the key.

I like the concept, though not sure if there's a more secure way to do it
