i think their gonna be using bitpay or what not  and scaning the pixel code thing, it shouldnt matter  phone or laptop right?

you are trying so send bitcoins to someone? For goods/fiat money?

it would help if laptop has a camera and can read QR codes. Best would as part of wallet function

if not you may just have to type in long bitcoin address to send it to them.


if you are receving BTC agaiin you need a tool to covert your bitcoin address to a QR code. your wallet program might or there are webpages you can enter a string and it will show it as a QR code.

im trying to buy some food at a resturant, im planing to make a quick dummy act at blockchain and send what i need there n go in with the laptop, so i would basically need a webcam to scan their  qr code?

You could probably just pay with these linen things in your wallet instead of wielding a laptop around like a maniac.
