Title: Re: Applepay resulting in over 1,000 doublespends........ Post by: cr1776 on October 25, 2014, 12:32:02 AM HAHA stupid apple. Old news, but did you even read the article? Obviously not since it was a B of A issue. Why let facts get in the way of bashing Apple. Title: Re: Applepay resulting in over 1,000 doublespends........ Post by: yayayo on October 25, 2014, 12:58:27 AM What a disgrace for a company with over half a trillion market cap! One may get the impression that Apple's top priority is just getting the design right with all things beneath the surface barely working.
Compared to Apple Pay, Bitcoin Core as beta software which is totally underfunded looks like a fortress of security. All what's left to do for Bitcoin is getting the "design right" to appeal to mainstream. Oldschool Paypal-clones like Apple Pay are not here to stay, because the box of cryptocurrencies has been opened. ya.ya.yo! Title: Re: Applepay resulting in over 1,000 doublespends........ Post by: Eisenhower34 on October 25, 2014, 03:25:16 AM Quote from: the article in the OP “We apologize for the inconvenience and are correcting this issue immediately and all duplicates will be refunded,” Tara Burke, a spokeswoman for the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank, said in a phone interview. Burke declined to say how many accounts were affected or on what network the transactions were processed. This is not quite the same as a "double spend" in Bitcoin terminology. Also customers are not actually inuring any financial loss as a result of this as they are being reimbursed for the 2nd charge Title: Re: Applepay resulting in over 1,000 doublespends........ Post by: Billbags on October 25, 2014, 04:56:26 AM It sucks for the people who couldn't pay rent or car note until they get reimbursed. Those late fees can be hundreds of dollars and I bet they don't get that back along with their money that got doublespent using centralized payment systems with unreliable 3rd parties.

Title: Re: Applepay resulting in over 1,000 doublespends........ Post by: cbeast on October 25, 2014, 05:12:09 AM Apple really jumped the shark with ApplePay. It will be hard to ever take them seriously again.
Title: Re: Applepay resulting in over 1,000 doublespends........ Post by: PenAndPaper on October 25, 2014, 05:13:32 AM It's beyond ridiculous for bitcoiners to celebrate because apple pay is having technical issues.
1. Apple pay and bitcoin don't compete with each other. Bitcoin isn't a company nor a product. It's a technology. For all we know apple pay might start using bitcoins in the background in a few years. 2. It would be a blessing for the bitcoin community if apple manages to shift consumer's behavior on how they pay for things. Title: Re: Applepay resulting in over 1,000 doublespends........ Post by: cbeast on October 25, 2014, 05:23:36 AM It's beyond ridiculous for bitcoiners to celebrate because apple pay is having technical issues. We're not celebrating Apple's failure, we're laughing at it. Okay, so putting a camera on a phone was pretty cool, but putting all my account information online with a portable device is just silly. Apple had security issues in the past. They should stick to adding functionality to phones like TV remotes, walkie talkies, or Star Trek Tricorders.1.
