Get me this news from the Mcdonalds website itself or at least a bit more trusted website or it never happened.
- use the lightning network (in the future): no need to wait for confirmations, very low fees
We still have no idea when this will be, do we ?
- use a prepaid card: fund your card using $100 or more in BTC, the funds only become available once the transaction is confirmed, the card doesn't expire, so the user can just fund it once and use if for loads of meals... This would allow users to cheap out on the fees, as long as they funded their prepaid card a couple of days in advance.
This is just a work around and people won't be ACTUALLY using bitcoin but just another normal banking system plus they have to trust that company from which they buy the cards.
Btw, do you know of any reputable services which give prepaid cards for btc that you DID use ?
