I'm certainly no expert in coding, but since the system has now proven its resiliency, and it obviously has fungibility, could you not work on a way to make the system more fluid?
What I mean is, we all know the strength of the system is in its application to low cost, high traffic transactions for retailers thanks to the virtually non-existant processing costs for retailers. Yet retailers aren't yet really taking up the system in floods. So if you could work with a designer to create a card or some variety that you could load up with bitcoin and then swipe instantly to do quick transactions, that could be a great start to really pumping up the numbers of retailers joining the cause. It would have to be convenient and with low costs for the retailer.
I was, at first going to say smartphones QR codes for the transactual mechanism, but I have an iphone, so i'm shit out of luck there
Point is, if you invent the mechanism in partnership with others, it could really take off and help the bitcoin community in general. Everyone always talks about how much VISA earn, but no one thinks of how much the subcontracted manufacturer of the physical cards makes.
2 cents flipped in.
