RE: Carpooling for Byteballers - The Great Byteball Bot War
Awesome. Carpooling for Byteballers would be super cool.
Not sure about if driver should lose all bytes in case of incomplete trip, I recently had a Uber ride where driver made a small crash mid-way to destination. I stepped out and got billed in full, but Uber refunded me half of the trip a day later.
Probably would need something extra on the wallet app too, because if have many rides per day then it can be tedious to empty each smart-contract one by one.
Yeah, definitely, I was thinking about that too and it makes sense. However, I wanna keep it simple for this competition, there isn't much time to finish it. It's gonna be more like a proof of concept.
But to brainstorm a little, the contract could include a clause that would trigger on partial completion, a kind of buyer protection. Let's say it would pay back 75% to the passenger and allow 25% for the driver to withdraw. And the bot would post a partial completion notification in case the trip was not completed. It could also support two partial completions: less than 50% and more than 50%. In the second case, the driver would get 75% and the passengers 25%.
