I'm a software developer working on a few Bitcoin related projects. I've been talking to a few places that would love to accept Bitcoin but can't find POS systems that quite meet their needs. So I'm considering developing one. My system would target small operations like single-location convenience stores, food carts, etc.
Does anyone think software like this is needed? I don't want to waste time developing it if nobody thinks it's useful and nobody would use it. Of course, if would be open source.
Thanks for your feedback!
Many of us think there's a real need for a solution to bitcoin's 'last mile' problem to really bring it mainstream. The recent successful ATM launch in Canada seems to confirm this. Have a look at this white paper and see if it might work for your project, any feedback or critique would be much appreciated:
