Title: paying merchants with bitcoins thru phone?
Post by: jjiimm_64 on June 21, 2011, 02:24:46 AM

Has anyone considered that if bitcoin really takes off,  people will be able to pay merchants with smartphones.?  I know in some countries it is very popular to pay with a phone now, but I think it is thru visa/mastercard/debit thru banks...  what if there was a phone app that did the same thing. 


anyway, just random thoughts.  bitcoins could be as or more valueable then gold..  i mean you can always dig up more gold, but you can NEVER print more bitcoins.....

Many of the bitcoin thin-clients for android support this.

Never say never.  Systems are built and can be broken down, it's only a matter of time.

Hopefully though we get a (one man's) lifetime out of this system.
