Some opinion about 'Winter Storm Warning #1'

[bitacer]

1. great aims, makes you imagine if someday stores can include such POS and people can buy goods using cell phone wallet.
2. but think twice, what they actually offer is just the software to do so, and does not include any plans to persuade stores to use it.
3. Are softwares the key to realize this goal? No, just like carts using bts has been written for a long time, still almost no one is using it.
4. To sum up, the keys to enable people purchasing goods using cryptos at stores in your neighborhood are a) find the correct target that would like to try this with minimal efforts and costs and b) a correct strategy to avoid potential legal issue in some countries
5. Is what I am talking about possible? Yes, check this out if you have not read this:

In brief, a small Taiwan bitcoin exchange BitoEX has cooperated with Familymart convinience store to buy goods at every Familymart in your neighborhood in Taiwan. And the way they doing it, using bitcoin to buy coupons that you use to exchange into goods, avoids potential legal problems. All BitoEX has to do is to write is a small software for the small computer (aka Famiport) used in every Familymart. Simple enough for the developer team and the store. Once again, the key thing is the business strategy, not any fancy program.

I would like you to join this discussion here and give us your thoughts ;  https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20762.msg268439.html#msg268439
