Tap to spend is now available in Guatemala in Hostel Del Lago, a huge 50 bed Hotel at Lake Atitlan.
- Each guest is given a Hive Debit NFC card when the check in, they can top up that card anytime they like (see following video to see top up process)
- They can then use hivedbeit.com to do tap payments on the local POS
- On the back of each card there are 3 QR codes. 1) scan to claim 5% cashback on their purchases at businesses at the property, 2) scan to check card balance, 3) scan to check hotel and event info.
This integration uses both @thedistriator and @hivedebit tech as one integration and allows seemless, feeless tap payments with cash back in the business.
The business gets more cash flowing in and being spent at the business premises as a result, it also gets a bunch of content and feedback directly from clients at the hostel as they claim cashback, so that the business has a better route to listen to its clients.
In future plans, we intend to link these tap cards to room locks at the business, so that clients can top up their cards to spend, open their rooms and even exchnge phone numbers witb each other by tapping their cards to POS devices, door locks and to the back of each other's phones.
Thanks to @ninaeatshere (maanger at the business), @jthomasewsky (developer for Hive Debit), @sagarkothari88 (developer for Distriator), @buttcoins (Business owner) and @starkerz (Project implementation manager).

Hive Debit Payment can be a great way to engage people in the Hive ecosystem. Future plans look solid.
This is great work.
What you think of collaborating with @worldmappin, and recommending Partnered Hotels based on the location -/search result in the website?
yes, exactly this. we already have an onboarding system that posts to world mapping called #checkinwith at checkinwith.xyz The distriator purchases are also added to worldmappin, so the card payments should show there too already.
For me, this should be one of the top priorities in the Hive Proposal.
I have some questions in this process of understanding.
I understand the idea of decentralized utopia and the world that comes with it. However, how about seeing a way to find Fiat in the game?
If we make one interface in the webapp to lock certain HBD for interest, but only to be locked without withdrawal, for spending? for instance:
Anyone can go retail, but also swap hive and hbd and play around the market, this could create an adoption.
Also, the addition of the fund could be a Top-up card that could eliminate hassle in entering different countries?
If Fiat comes into the game, most people will play with it. Idk the long-term impact on Hive and HBD pegging, but it could be massive for HIVE.
in fact if you check world mappin at teh location of the lake where the business is, then you can see significant #spendhbd activity there:
Appreciate that @suzn.poudel! We have some interesting ideas about how to expand this too!
If you are here @ninaeatshere This is a success

wow this is cool. i'm amazed how hive could go this far. love it here.
Hive is cool!
Sounds like a system that could be used on Festivals / concerts instead of plastic beer tokens
that is exactly what it can be.
charge 50 usd per sponsor to put their logo on the cards, half goes on cards for the first say 100 people at the festival so that they can have a spending experience, and the rest goes to be split between the festival organizer and the ppl bringing the cards. they cards are open source, so anyone can do this without asking out permissions at any time they like. its a ready made business model for any hivean to make money off right now.
Googoogogoooo! Invade the world with this, please!
trying our best! can use if for festivals and concerts. 50 bucks to put your logo on the card, top guests get some free money to spend at the event on their cards, the rest is split between the festival and you. this is open and free for you to use right now, and make money from
