I just heard this project referenced in an armdevices.net video. It seems like a really great fit with bitcoin, so I thought I'd post it here.
https://www.alljoyn.orgKey points:
- It's an open-source P2P/message bus that abstracts the OS environment and network layer so it can work on a range of ad-hoc devices and scenarios.
- Sponsored by Qualcomm and optimised for mobile use.
- Automatic configuration for the end-user.
- It is designed to work with the wifi-direct point to point specification.
Any thoughts? This seems a much better strategy than photographing barcodes esp. for the android clients.
