We should start a list of places. I have a few that are within walking distance that I like a lot. There would be even more of Toast had an integration.
Possibly. But it seems like Toast does more than just POS. They do a lot with inventory and I grew in respect for the way they really went holistic with their approach to simplifying ops for restaurants.
I spoke specifically to a bar/restaurant owned by someone in our Austin Bitcoin community and he expressed they can't live without Toast. I don't think it's as simple as "just switch" for most people and Toast seems like a pretty tech forward startup so the difficulty of getting integration isn't as high as you might think.

I think there are companies trying to force the issue. Orange Standard has a partnership with 10P pretty prestigious gym and they are actively working on it. I don't know much about those guys but I'm hoping they have the finesse and determination to pull it off.
He runs on Toast, which doesn’t support bitcoin, and bolting a second device onto his counter meant another thing to maintain, staff to train on it, and messier accounting at the end of the month.
This is a pain point felt in many bars/restaurants. It's even a pain point at the BJJ Gym in Austin 10th Planet - they love bitcoin so they accept it but it's a hassle because it's not integrated with Toast.
This is the exact data set. Tbh i couldn't find anything that objectionable. I don't want AI helping people kidnap children

I could definitely see state actor. I could even see CCP doing it to deny predominantly American/Western people from having the bitcoin.
I could see that but I could also see a sophisticated and determined actor inventing a bug that looks plausible. The fact that he contributed the code under a nym and sock puppets with it only adds fuel to the fire.
I think they put this poison pill in and they were waiting for the proverbial Order 66 but got beat to it by an 18 year old with Kimi K3 on Openrouter that went hog wild.
I think the logic falls apart for this reason: if they had no canary for any period of time while operating at all, then there's no guarantee they weren't under duress to put the canary up in the first place...
It just seems like such a messy thing to maintain it's not a good idea to begin with.
My theory is that it was there waiting for Order 66 to kick off and an 18 year old with Kimi K3 on Openrouter found it before CK could exploit.
you don't have to be dumb to intentionally plant an exploit. Just evil.
Looks like it was the CTOs commit. That's not to say that he didn't pull changes from elsewhere. I'm leaning more and more toward the "Retirement Attack" the more that comes out. Honestly the lawsuit is gonna be lit. We're probably gonna learn a lot.
If you trusted Cold Card to properly use their secure element, how can you be sure they properly used your dice roll entropy? I know you can check the outputs with a CLI script but who actually does that?
I'd go even farther and say just ditch Cold Card altogether. You have nothing to gain by staying and everything to lose.
Funny cuz I asked this question on nostr just yesterday.
Seems like there's debate around whether the Sparkcore Chainalysis REALLY enters the equation on Spark but I think it's at least a coin flip whether that's true.
Imo it seems like Spark whether intentional or not risks being kind of like a stablecoin: still pretty centralized and vulnerable to censorship pressure and surveillance.
I go there and half the guys are bitcoiners. But they're gym rats they never go to meetups so it's almost entirely orthogonal to the nerd/tech/startup community.
