BUILDLing

Waiting 15 seconds for a transaction to be confirmed is not the best user experience you can provide. Users require their transactions to be fast, cheap and secure.

Integrate the Liquidity network payment solution into Winding Tree to turn instant and free payments into a reality. The system should allow carrier to setup their wallet and clients to pay online. Interaction should be possible using API.

Get inspiration by looking at alternative booking websites’ and the payment systems already used and make blockchain payments as simple to use. Liquidity provides you with a cross platform invoice system, available on iOS, Android and desktop.

I am thinking about accepting this challenge as I think it could solve a pain point I already often had when traveling. I like to stay in hostels and often you have to pay for small things (bicycle rental, laundry, staying one more night ..) - a payment hub like this could help here to make this process more friction-less. And when booking the ho(s)tel via winding-tree you already have their address. If anyone wants to join the fun - you can find my contact details here: https://ligi.de - I think I would start by integrating liquidity network into the mobile wallet I am maintaining - https://walleth.org as I think this makes most sense when traveling. If you want to rent a bike - just pull out your phone and sign that you are willing to spend XX DAI for it.

Also @thibmeu if you have some time it would be great to ask some question - my main one at the moment: how to use it on a testnet? I prefer to not litter the main-net when testing - but currently it always states "Mainnet".
