Hi all

I'm in talks with my good friend, operating newly opened flight tickets selling platform www.abitsky.com. This is a part of one of the biggest flight tickets selling platform in Eastern Europe http://www.greitai.lt/en/about-us/.

This company also operates online wallet for GBP and BTC www.mistertango.com and exchange www.misterbtc.com. So they have complete solution for accepting BTC for their business.

Now I'm pushing him to start accept NXT for flight tickets and we start brainstorming how it would be. Here is very preliminary what he can offer:

1. Flight ticket selling engine;
2. Implement btc/nxt prices and engine for nxt->btc in abitsky.com or newly created webpage. His company needs to receive btc or eur for sold tickets

What is needed from nxt community:

1. Engine of accepting nxt and instant conversion and delivery of btc to the company. Company wants flight ticket cost in btc and +1EUR per ticket as their profit.

I'm thinking about an virtual company with its assets, where received nxt profit goes as dividends for asset holders.

Sorry for my english, it seems as complete mess, but let's start brainstorming about this how to get nxt to real world.

P.S. time for beer.

If NXT is instantly converted to BTC, this is bad for the price of NXT

Ok, converted to EUR. In any case, abitsky has to fix EUR/nxt ratio and show price in nxt.

I tried hard, but he don't believe in it

If he believed in it, he could do it already

it would be hard to get the help of the Nxt community if he don'T believe in Nxt...

Yes, that's true, but he is open to idea of adding NXT to his platform, just he is not familiar with nxt and don't have time to explore it. So that's why help of community is needed

Maybe during some time he will open his eyes and will see potential

Start is always tough.

If he doesn't have time to explore it, I think it'd be pretty useless to try to drag him into NXT.

Yes, but he gives working platform with big user base. It could be NXT community project to use NXT in real world. Or do you think, that byuing t-shirt with nxt or trade nxt for btc/fiat is big goal? IMO without real world usage NXT will not have bright future:(

You are right. We need some instant conversion service for NXT/BTC.

I see if MGW is involved in it, maybe it is what we need?

Contact James for the use of MGW. I think it's the best tool.

Look at business of coinomat.com. They just do this. You can instant convert nxt to other coins or fiat and vice versa. They are integrating MGW into there business, too.

I agree that an automatic Nxt/BTC conversion is needed--we need a NXT version of bitPay. I think it's best if one of the NXT companies provides this, rather than the community. I know coinomat do some automatic NXT/BTC conversion via the MGW, maybe they have something planned. Also, I believe Nxthaus may be planning something like this.

And, to answer some earlier posters, absolutely we want people to use Nxt who don't care about it and don't have time to read up on the details. It's up for Nxt companies and community to make Nxt useful and simple to the rest of the world. Nxt won't grow if it relies only on crypto enthusiasts.

If I remember correctly, also GoCoin is still busy implementing NXT. In what, september/october?

Yes, this is good. With this is possible to solve problem with BTC instant conversion. The best would be conversion to EUR

OK, picture is filling up a little bit, now I see I have to set up a team to make this real

I need dev and marketing. Anyone?

Frohike · « **Reply #18 on:** August 22, 2014, 12:28:25 pm »

Please be more specific in what you're looking for and what you need, so we can help.

Devs can help, but what kind of devs do you need?
I'm working on the MGW infra, regarding Linux and Security, also doing architectural stuff and networking. Do you need that expertise too? If so, please let me know here or send a PM.

You can ask James for nitty gritty details about MGW, as he is the core dev of MGW.

It's nice to see more real world applications on top of NXT, that's the whole point. And we won't make it with memes and t-shirts and caps indeed.

CoinoMat does instant conversing to Btc in either direction...
