Hi guys,
do you know a good and privacy friendly way to pay with your phone (like Google Pay)? I am using Graphene OS on a Pixel 8 and lice in Germany so some services might not be available here 🙈
Like others said, banking needs licensing and licensing costs money. If you already have a bank account, you already trust one party. Ask them if they roll their own app-payment or are already partnered with a service. That way, you can avoid google/Apple and minimize spreading the trust to other parties. My bank cooperates with Fidesmo, for example. Fidesmo then sells wearables with nfc-pay.
I think I heard cake wallet is able to do NFC payments for places that accept Monero.
Doesn’t exist. I was also surprised that this was not NFC-related tech, but google/apple-specific.
I guess it makes sense - you need some kind of authority to validate/take blame for transactions (outside of the hot mess of block chain), I had just always presumed that the tech didn’t need much to work.
You are in germany, so you will need to wait for GNU Taler for that:
