Title: Bitcoin POS (point of sale) Register - Anyone made one, working on it, etc? Post by: vesperwillow on November 04, 2013, 06:34:28 PM Any companies making one?
Better yet, has anyone here made a simple dedicated one out of a tablet/PC/laptop/etc? I'm looking to make one for my small business uses. Just looking for ideas. Post 'em up if you have links or photos of ideas. Title: Re: Bitcoin POS (point of sale) Register - Anyone made one, working on it, etc? Post by: crazy_rabbit on November 04, 2013, 06:57:28 PM There are a few out there, but in particular coinkite.com has one that looks like a regular POS terminal for visa or something.

Post by: Ecurb123 on November 04, 2013, 10:24:37 PM I've seen a one or two out there, although I don't have any links. I'm working on a little raspberry pi based sort of coin jar, and I was thinking about later doing a second project which would be a BTC register. If you want to see it, this is my coin jar project.

Post by: Qoheleth on November 05, 2013, 01:53:24 AM Mycelium has a prototype that they showed off at the Bitcoin 2013 conference. You could buy vodka and pickles with your bitcoins, right there on the exhibit floor.
Edit: There's also this (http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-debit-cards-come-canada/). Title: Re: Bitcoin POS (point of sale) Register - Anyone made one, working on it, etc? Post by: vesperwillow on November 05, 2013, 04:34:21 AM Thanks for the links/info guys, keep it coming.

Post by: callem on November 11, 2013, 04:19:47 AM If you have a chance to read the draft white paper, here's a framework for an open source, decentralized POS that requires only the bitcoin blockchain, no third party servers, etc.

Title: Re: Bitcoin POS (point of sale) Register - Anyone made one, working on it, etc? Post by: vesperwillow on November 12, 2013, 03:18:16 PM I skimmed through most of it, it's a solid read. This is definitely the direction we need to head.

Post 'em up if you have links or photos of ideas. putting together something like Square for bitcoin would be great, and not very technically challenging. https://squareup.com/ Id say youd be fundable with one senior guy and a bunch of bitcoin script kiddies the likes of which hang out here.
