Hey Everyone,
Just thought I would share the progress of the device/app I've been working on.
It is essentially a point of sale terminal but for Bitcoin, with the following features:
- Owner: Preload a list of Payment Addresses, for your Clerk employee to take payments on.
- Clerk: Get a 'New Address' from your preloaded list, for each transaction.
- Clerk: Define the Amount to Pay, eg the transaction total. (Currently in Satoshi format, soon USD format too)
- Clerk: Check for Payment (invoke a lookup to the blockchain to discover if payment has been confirmed yet)
- Customer: Pay via QR (NFC and BLE coming soon)
- Customer: Check for Payment (invoke a lookup to the blockchain to discover if payment has been confirmed yet)
The application can live on a Raspberry Pi, or an Intel Edison and be expanded up since its open source.
If you are interested in setting up your own, let me know in the comments.
Note: I plan on making this also compatible with Ethereum.
Also if you have suggestions on how it could be improved, let me know
