I don't think you'll avoid the fees and refund delays though
 
- 
ofrnxmr[m]
The delays are due to credit cards and etc. Weekends, business days and all that nonsense
 
- 
ofrnxmr[m]
And the fees are crazy because they use them to purchase insurance and pay employees.
 
- 
ofrnxmr[m]
But those fees are well, well in excess of being realistic 
 
- 
ofrnxmr[m]
Monerobnb would still need fees to cover insurance and staffing, but fees dont have to be as outlandish

A KYC-free Monero AirBnB would be great. Could use multisig escrow and reviews/reputation for trust (although in my experience, landlords who rent apartments for cash without ID are just happy to receive the rent every month, no "verification" required).

we need a monero shopping + monero university hybrid ccs - where we build / own a gasoline station and/or garage for car repairs that offers discounts for payment in monero - taxi drivers would be interested 
 
- 
anarkiocrypto[m]
A rideshare platform would still be useful, especially if public transit isn't available and local taxis are too expensive (or it is a long distance trip). I heard that Uber and some other apps ask passengers for ID, if they pay with cash or gift cards... but maybe a KYC-free CakePay/PayWithMoon card could bypass this. Fortunately there is good public transit where I live, and you can still buy anonymous tickets with cash (vs. a public

transit card that requires government ID).
 
-

crypto adoption in st kitts targetted taxi drivers - i think they can buy gasoline with crypto there 
 
-

Instead of owning a gas station, a bounty for (extroverted, i.e. not me) people to go out to local businesses and onboard them to Monero may be more successful.
 
- 
anarkiocrypto[m]
Maybe prepare a "why and how to accept Monero" brochure + web page and translate it into multiple languages. I wonder if Cake would participate or help to organize this (if the brochure and onboarding demo uses Cake Wallet).
 
- 
anarkiocrypto[m]
Then people could fundraise bounties for specific cities/countries (or in general) and if someone onboards a merchant in this location, they can claim the bounty.

<anarkiocrypto[m]> "A rideshare platform would still..." <- Bolt exists in Europe and it's no-KYC, would be nice to approach them and ask to accept crypto

Bolt also has scooters and food delivery

It would be a massive win if they started accepting crypto 
 
-

I dont like telling companies to accept crypto
 
- 
ofrnxmr[m]
Because then they start listening to other fools advice and accepting apecoin and shiba, then blame me for their losses
 
- 
Siren[m]
Realistically you won't make alternatives to everything just to accept Monero
 
- 
ofrnxmr[m]
The stuff isnt money anyway. If they want to accept nft's, so be it
 
- 
Siren[m]
There are too many platforms to replace
 
- 
Siren[m]
ofrnxmr[m]: That doesn't happen at all. They always choose a third party payment gateway that supports many cryptocurrencies.
 
-

I don't care about them accepting scam coins as long as Monero is also an option

Either they have to not even interact with the crypto and are just using a service to dump it for fiat

It's important that this third party gateway is KYC-free for customers... Bitpay requires government ID to pay even a 20β¬ invoice, which means it's as financially exclusionary and surveilled as credit cards...

Never seen anyone use bitpay, it's mostly coinpayments or coingate. The only kyc those have is name and phone number but you can fill in bs values.

Happy to hear about CoinPayments/CoinGate. But worried if the EU would force merchants to use KYC'ed payment gateways (Bitpay, Binance Pay, Strike, etc.) in the future...

The issue with KYC is that it relies on state permission, i.e. the state must agree to print a passport or national ID card for you (and if the state refuses, there are no appeals or alternatives). For me, it isn't about a name/appearance/phone number/etc., but that there is no way for me to get government ID.

KYC on airbnb is sort of an option. Some hosts only allow verified users, other hosts only require a picture (which is only transfered after payment)
