I recently traveled to Curitiba (Paraná, Brazil) and had the opportunity to cover nearly 90% of my trip expenses with XNO.
I’m sharing this to show it is already possible to use nano regularly with the right tools at hand.
It is worth mentioning I was gifted the flying ticket, but I could have bought it with XNO on Travala, the same website I used to book my hotel (Ӿ53.74).
My Uber trips (Ӿ35.04) from home to the airport, airport to the hotel, hotel to Corleone, then back to the hotel, and back to the airport were all paid using NanoBankBot gift cards. It is a Brazil-only service for now.
The balance was ready to use in less than 3 minutes after starting the request on the Telegram bot. Meaning the whole process was faster than what most blockchains take to reach 2-conf.
However, the best part was directly spending nano at Corleone Craft Burger (Ӿ12.79). From my self-custody wallet to Corleone owner’s self-custody wallet, no intermediaries. The hamburger (Ӿ5.99) is delicious, by the way.
The thing is, traveling with nano is possible using the right tools.
FWIW. I used the XNO I directly earned from my translations to Ririro (a children’s story website by Pim Coffeng). Interestingly, I earned them at a lower exchange rate than my spending - effectively spending with a discount.
Disclaimer: I’m NOT a professional video-maker, nor do I want to be one. I started making this video while I was bored at the airport just to illustrate the experience. Hope you enjoy it!
