So this is like paying for things in countries across with apps like Grab, I assume? If this is so, this is VERY cool. I mean I believe we've been doing this for some time - like it you go to you pay things via .
I remember in the past, stressing if I can get enough cash in foreign countries when I go abroad for work, or whether my credit card will be accepted.

Periodic reminder that if you ditch the zero-trust part, if you admit that trust matters even a tiny bit, you can ditch the consensus algorithm and run the entire blockchain exercise on one shitty five year old Android phone. A firstgen raspberry pi would be overkill. Seven transactions per second wouldn’t have stretched a 486 on dial-up in 1996 and the whole stack is an embarrassment.

kkarhan,

@bhawthorne @mhoye in the end, it very much depends on your business and customers...

Whilst having the ability to accept #AliPay or #WeChatPay is a nice add-on for some asian takeout place in Germany, you basically can't survive as a business in the "P.R." China without...

Same goes with #B2B: Don't even bother trying that in Germany without a proper Bank Account because that'll make it de-facto illegal to do anything like paying employees..n

Can you recommend a legitimate service to buy Monero (for perfectly legal and ethically sound reasons) with SEPA?

kkarhan,

@maxi but then again: Neither endorsement nor advice.

If it was my decision, the block rate would be at 1 second so it was fast enough for checkouts at a cashier with 3+ confirmations.

OFC nothing prevents a traditional #PaymentProcessor from accepting #Monero :monero: instead of or besides #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard, #Maestro, #girocard, #AliPay, #JCB, #UnionPay, #ApplePay, #SamsungPay, #GooglePay, #SMSpayment or even #GeldKarte besides their stubbornness to remain irreplaceable middle-men.

Why would anyone want to use on / , which is written in the systemically unsafe Programming Language that is when :monero: / exists?

'Cuz basically build shittier that combines all the disadvantages of & absurdly expensive Computing and Storage.

kkarhan,

Also #Monero's :monero: low cost, stability, and ease of use do lends itself aa a alternative to #MoneyTransfers.

Personally I wished that the block rate wasn't 2 Minutes but 1 Second so that transactions and confirmations would be on part with #ec payments like #gurocard, #Maestro, #Visa, #MasterCard and #ApplePay, #SamsungPay, #WeChatPay, #AliPay, etc.

is very cheeky in it's signup.

Like not telling you "Oh we don't offer any service in !" just after verifying your identity, their peaks in requiring a / or ...

Like "bruh at least let me pre-pay with !" but no...
