intermediaries will only make things worse and people even dumber.
In the end, I think that all an agnostic countertop terminal needs is an lnaddr in secure memory and a state poller. Can build this into an ESP8266.
Edit: re: payment processor. Yes. It's shiny until the rug.
Opago and Lnbits did this in a very simple manner with those offline POS devices
Thanks @DarthCoin! :)
you guys should do a massive campaign in Colombia as you did in Germany / Austria.
Problem solved.
Most people I know are simply not interested in bitcoin, they're not, that's it, merchants included. Orange pilling normies is a laudable task and I respect and admire those who try, I've done it myself but with pretty limited results.
This method with QR payments doesn't involve orange pilling anyone, it's for bitcoiners who want to use their BTC in day to day life, that's the target. As it's P2P, intermediation is the same as in lnp2pbot or Robosats, it can always escape censorship e.g Tor
boycott all those that are not interested in bitcoin.
Better support those that are interested.
Why do you have to waste your valuable sats with those that are giving the sats instantly to saylors and blackrocks ?
The whole point is to spend wisely your sats, not everywhere on anything...
I am more for merchant education and each one implement his own way (node/server) to accept BTC.
Nowadays, even with a damn mobile app you can start accepting BTC without any intermediary.
But yeah that REQUIRE merchant education, employee education and training etc.
This is a very important thing and we will never have any real adoption without good education. Fancy UI and intermediaries will only make things worse and people even dumber.
I am fucking tired of dumb people in this world.
Just read here what happen when merchants use a centralized payment processor: #1425210
