For something like this, I would have expected a bigger more prominent well planned out launch across media outlets etc.

If it was me, I'd delete this thread, and re-announce with a "major" cross-media announce when the scan feature is ready and after the system has gone through a quiet, private, beta test with some actual retailers who would like to be part of the news release.

you guys need a map too. you know, where stores can show that they accept currency

Do you negotiate with any of merchants to use this?

One better. There are Agents that pre-install many different pos systems onto hardware before shipping said hardware to merchants. The software that those manufacturers pre-install include packages like SAP, Shopify, Quickbooks POS and many more. By working with them we will be able to reach many more.

It is native android so it runs extremely fast.

Is it native Android connected to the hosted wallet infrastructure of the OpenLedger server?
If so, does it mean you've ported the whole client-side JavaScript code-base to native Android?

Ported, no. This has been written from scratch. You guys can see the code in a few weeks when I upload everything to github for forking etc :)

Thanks for the update.  Finally a pos solution for merchants!

[ANN] BlockPay - The App that allows any Business to accept any Crypto-currency at Zero Cost
Integrated completely with your favorite store's Point Of Sale system

Looking for somewhere to spend your Ether? Your Bitcoin, Dash or Steem..?

Over the last few weeks we have been coding yet another mobile wallet, this one is named Smartcoins Wallet. It is native android so it runs extremely fast.

In this video, the Smartcoins Wallet is on the left, and on the right one of our POS systems has been installed on an old phone...

The merchant charges you a specific amount, you scan the QR code (we will put the new scanner in there next week) with your wallet, the merchant receives the currency that they want and you got to spend the crypto that you wanted to spend (Smartcoins/BTS/SBD/BTC/ETH/LTC, etc) and in a few seconds the merchant can automatically reward you with loyalty points (tradeable on the open exchange or can be traded in upon your next visit at that merchant for discounts).

Of course the wallets and Bitshares blockchain also support Overdraft Protection, 3 second blocks, 100,000+ transactions per second, eReceipts (the QR code (or NFC) sends a small pdf file to your phone), unlimited altcoins and other assets, automated accounting and full rewards card (loyalty points) features.

QuoteBlockPay (the Smartcoins POS api/apps) can be integrated with nearly any existing POS system that you find at a grocery, retail, petrol, vending machines, restaurant or other business.

We still have a lot of UI/UX work to do and need to add just a few more features, but over the next few weeks I hope to have those finished as well. As usual, everything is open source, works with most crypto wallets (Mycelium, Jaxx, etc), and will be posted on github once we're happy with it.
