Wow: With onbit almost everywhere with bitcoins pay
Go to Aldi, pull out your smartphone and pay for peaches, walnuts and toilet paper with bitcoins – that will never be possible? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that. Onbit makes it come true what has sounded like a distant dream.
Near-Field Communication (NFC) is a procedure to transport small amounts of data over short distances. For example, a transfer from a smartphone to the cash chip, as enable several modern bank apps and cash register systems. Wipe once, and is already paid.
ONEBIT has now presented an app that not only enables NFC payments with bitcoins, but also docks the card systems, exchanges the bitcoins in local currencies and thus enables Bitcoin users to pay with their favorite currency for every cash terminal that accepts via NFC credit cards. And without fees or alternating surcharges. According to a representative in an AMA (ASK Me Anything), onebit deserves by participating in the interchange fees that calculate the banks for the processing of credit card payments.
Wow. If all of this works, as it is announced, we have tens of thousands of acceptance points in Germany in a blow. Since almost all discounters in the past few weeks or. Months started to accept credit cards should Aldi, Lidl, Netto and Co. can be equipped with a new credit card reader through the bank away, which also accepts NFC payments.
Of course, this does not mean that someone would buy bitcoins in order to be able to pay with their cell phone at Aldi. He can already do that. But it means that you can charge your wallets with bitcoins and use the virtual coins better and better to shop.
