We recently participated as an external partner in a hackathon organized by Bosch.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gr4oe5gp6hxbzv9/Pimp%20my%20Connectory.pdf?dl=0Three teams used Byteball in their projects:
Coffee paid by Bosch Coins - We want to sell some kind of premium coffee at the Connectory in Stuttgart. The coffee should be freshly brewed in a Bosch coffee machine which can accept Bosch Coins as a payment via the Bosch Coins Wallet (based on Byteball,
https://byteball.org/). Bosch Coins is a cryptocurrency, which is implemented as an asset on the Byteball Network.
Haithabu the gamification approach to negotiations - What is at the core of every business and every trade? Easy: Negotiations with your business partners! Not so easy: Becoming experienced in negotiations is a key competence, however is also exhausting. The department CP/PSG3 (Advanced Awarding and Negotiations Applying Game Theory) have conceptualized a gamification approach that makes negotiation-training easy and a fun experience. They are looking for enthusiasts to translate it into action.
DLT Smart Contracts Automated by Bosch Transport Data Logger Data - Bosch Transport Data Loggers arent just for track and trace applications, they can provide actionable data to automate and secure the procurement process. Using Boschs new cellular connected TDL 140, we will simulate the purchase and shipment of a carton of eggs, automatically executing DLT smart contracts when the asset enters geo-fenced areas or when control limits are exceeded. The end result will be either a safely delivered carton of eggs, or an automatic return and full refund!
In particular, the coffee machine runs a light Byteball node on a Raspberry Pi.
I was there and helped the guys learn how to use chatbots, payments, smart contracts, etc on BB platform. It was pleasure working with them!
Another outcome of this event is that I had to (finally) write developer docs about smart contracts on Byteball
