Nice that bitcoin payments worked up until that weird moment.

But let's be honest, weird transaction glitches happen with fiat too, so it's not really a bitcoin-specific thing.

I'm sure they could have gotten it resolved with Square, eventually, if they could ever reach a human customer service agent. But who knows how long that'd take and how much effort.

I think the scene went down pretty much how I'd want it to. If I were the customer, I'd want to pay again, and if I were the restaurant owner, I'd want to let the customer off the hook (but secretly hope that he'll end up paying.) And it looks like that's exactly what happened.

For sure, it was definitely not a bitcoin thing. It had to do with what happens when square voids invoices as they’re being paid. I don’t blame them either. It’s just the nature of nascent technology.

You’d fit in well around these parts. ;)
