Do you think the Bitcoin community has any interest in a Bitcoin Hard wallet Point of Sale ?  Operation: The hard wallet stays in a private vault in a secure location and a web based Point of Sale Kiosk presents the QR code total to the customer.    Like Cash sale, no third party.  

This is a brief description of COGSmachine platform  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5460271.0 

"You don't see any new privacy-oriented crypto projects anymore.  Gone are the days where developers actually cared about users' privacy. Now it's all about making as much money as possible while keeping mainstream governments happy. " 

"Project premise
Web 3 services are vended. A COG is a Web 3 vending machine that exchanges services for Tokens.   

Overview and Ethos
 The COGSmachine community of developers created the COGSmachine platform without VC funding. COGSmachine is a network of humans and synthetics building technology for the betterment and advancement of society.

Description
A COG is a single machine that run COGSmachine software and communicates with other machines using $COGS tokens. Networked COG(s) communicating with one another speaking the $COGS protocol comprise a COGSmachine. "

COGSmachine stack can turn any digital asset or NFT into a bound token  (BT) .
  
Then you can privately exchange assets like this shown in this video of selling  a CQDN, BT, and SSL Cert over private networks.  see:
https://twitter.com/COGSmachine/status/1656072890242957314?s=20


Note that anything can be included in the transaction e.g. contracts, code, deeds, digital media, etc.

Thousands of years of history proof that Buying and selling is a private common law contract.   See Bill of Rights 7th Amendment and Article I Section X US Constitution (no state may impair the obligation of contract) .  

.. continued from above ..

Consensus
COGSmachine consensus is an event driven network.  Transactional events are observed by COGS in the Witness Pool and multi factor verifiable.   Since each machine has identity via BT, SSL cert, and event driven hashed blocks (see: https://twitter.com/COGSmachine/status/1673887121864634369?s=20), double spend, forgery are mitigated.   Vault/Wallet Application is but one of many possibilities.   For example here is a p2p private chat app that exchanges $COGS for chat messages.  The message is sent with $COGS token(s) and received by the peer upon consensus.  https://twitter.com/COGSmachine/status/1669752168260284428?s=20  Notice that this is a chat between the machine identity 18wheel.eddie.cog and cogs.cogs.cogs  These are CQDNs on the cogschain .  CQDNs are resolvable with the resolveCQDN method of the COGSchain class. e.g.:

cchain = COGSchain() # cchain instance of COGSchain class
bt,routes = cchain.resolveCQDN(cqdn) # return bound tocken bt and route for cqdn

Project premise

Overview and Ethos
 The COGSmachine community of developers created the COGSmachine platform without VC funding. COGSmachine is a network of humans and synthetics building technology for the betterment and advancement of society.

Description
A COG is a single machine that run COGSmachine software and communicates with other machines using $COGS tokens. Networked COG(s) communicating with one another speaking the $COGS protocol comprise a COGSmachine.   

Implementation
The COGSmachine architecture is shown here --> : https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx-VlxUXoAUIRUW?format=jpg&name=medium
. COGSmachine software runs in a docker container on a linux host and is packaged with NGINX, uWSGI, Flask, Python. Each COG has a digital identity via a "Bound Token" (BT), COGSmachine Qualified Domain Name (CQDN) and companion SSL Cert.

A COG exposes services/routes with Flask and services are invoked on CQDN named nodes over HTTPS(SSL/TLS) using SHA-256 tokens.  Transactions are verified via block hashes on the “cogschain”.  Developers can create Custom Tokenized Web3 actions with COGSmachine classes and Python Flask.  If hashes are validated via verifyHash the Flask route logic will execute.   

Verified transactions are propagated through the network by the $COGS protocol.

Privacy
The 'cogschain' is stores no human readable information.   

Status

Testnet is in alpha and will be go live later this summer.

Shouldn't all crypto be backed by bitcoin ?
How could a "Bitcoin Standard" emerge?  For example, if you could pay for food service etc everywhere with bitcoin, would that be enough to essentially drive bitcoin as a backing standard ?

wave 1 Crypto fundamentals:   Decentralized banking driven by engineers/engineering
wave 2 Crypto fundamentals:   Envious financiers bringing financial schemes from their world of centralized banking to the crypto world which has led to losses, scams, schemes,  
wave 3 Crypto fundamentals:   Finishing the job of wave 1 via Decentralized everything new (web3,4,5...) network and  driven by engineers/engineering  financed and fueled with Bitcoin and crypto only

Web 3 will become Web 4,5,6, ...
