I built functional prototype that turns hotel and Airbnb energy savings into real Bitcoin. Guests earn satoshis for every appliance they keep off during their stay — paid out instantly via Lightning Network at check-out.
When a guest checks in through the app, a real-time energy savings meter starts running. Every appliance they choose to keep off — air conditioner, electric shower, TV, refrigerator — generates satoshis credited to their in-app balance.
At check-out, the guest withdraws their earned satoshis instantly via a Lightning Network payment — either by scanning a QR code from their wallet or pasting a BOLT11 invoice.
This is a pretty cool idea! I used to run an air bnb and I always hated it when people would leave the heater running even though they were out all day. Definitely saw it in my power bill. A way to incentivize them to pay attention would have been awesome!
