This means parking meters, vending machines, laundromats, etc. can receive bitcoin payments without an internet connection. That is actually really cool.

Talking about that, Can anyone please transmit wikipedia via long wave radio? It would be interesting in censor states. Hiding wikipedia in tv/movie firmware would also be a possibility.

Fascinating idea. In the areas that this would work, would it not be simpler to just use a normal cell phones data connection or SMS?
