CryptoTerminal (eg BTC Point of Sale Terminal)

in bitcoin •  8 years ago  (edited)

Hey Everyone,

Just thought I would share the progress of the device/app I've been working on.

Alt text

It is essentially a point of sale terminal but for Bitcoin, with the following features:

  • Owner: Preload a list of Payment Addresses, for your Clerk employee to take payments on.
  • Clerk: Get a 'New Address' from your preloaded list, for each transaction.
  • Clerk: Define the Amount to Pay, eg the transaction total. (Currently in Satoshi format, soon USD format too)
  • Clerk: Check for Payment (invoke a lookup to the blockchain to discover if payment has been confirmed yet)
  • Customer: Pay via QR (NFC and BLE coming soon)
  • Customer: Check for Payment (invoke a lookup to the blockchain to discover if payment has been confirmed yet)

The application can live on a Raspberry Pi, or an Intel Edison and be expanded up since its open source.
If you are interested in setting up your own, let me know in the comments.

Note: I plan on making this also compatible with Ethereum.

Also if you have suggestions on how it could be improved, let me know
