If you had the option to get change in cents, dimes, quarters, 50p or in an electronic paper receipt of the equivalent in satoshis- wohich would you rather?
A few years ago supermarkets and chemists/drug stores began giving the you an option to print your receipt or email it to you - (like H+M), and they’ve always had that button on their payment kiosks to round up for a charity with the balance of your change- but what if instead that change printed a QR code and the paper wallet address of the change (and a cope of the receipt was mailed to you.
Challenges I ran into: It’s a rather large pitch to get a retailer on board to give it a go and I am not a proponent for open sourcing this code, as there’s already too much hesitation in corporations having their systems exposed (while this would be no different than what’s in place, except it’s enabling Fiat to change into satoshis incrementally.
What I learned: Bitcoin needs to be circulated and if anyone actually cares about utilising it in the future, it has to be utilised and not just hoarded like the wealthy do circulated Fiat on offshore accounts. Otherwise, there’s no difference.
What's next for P2P POS Satoshi Receipts: using Satoshi in minimal amounts. 100 sats for a a croissant and coffee, or price some stuff at a farmers market and send from your lightening wallet to a paper wallet if they don’t have anything set up. Paper wallets do not need to be on paper only.
And then once there’s more of a grass roots circulating small amounts peer to peer, a POS system can be stood up with a case study, a sample of how many people per capita are anonymously using sats just for household organic goods.
And then on.
It must be P2P and it must not be only in under developed countries.
