Publishing ride request to the community

[sponnet]

As a rider I want to publish a rideshare request to the ecosystem:

• where do I want to be picked up
• where do I want to be dropped off
• what is the price i'm offering ( how many coins am I offering for this ride ? )

Implementation :

• A private ride request is encoded in JSON, AES encrypted and uploaded to IPFS - this contains all the data of the user in detail and the IPFS hash is kept on the user's device.
• A public ride request is encoded in JSON and uploaded to IPFS - this contains
  • exact pickup location
  • approximate drop-off location ( 250 m range ? )
  • number of coins offered
  • date of creation
  • the geohash of this request ( = exact location + perimeter of 1000m )
• the IPFS hash of the public ride request is published via whisper to the appropriate geohash channel(s)
