Hi there.
Didn't find any topic about digital currencies for Merchants. The idea is simple - who are developing such kind of currencies for merchants needs. I'm not a developer but looks like it must have POS integration SDK and be fast enough to pay for cup of coffee in a second. Of course free or low fees prefered, merchants will choose them. What do you think what other features it should have?
Currently i know only few:
Pundi X
Nano
You are probably thinking of an infrastructure similar to what the usual debit/credit card companies are offering where it is easy for merchants to integrate into the system and accept payments from those who are bearing the cards. This has been the basis of many projects before and I think if you look closely at the ICO scene right now there are also who are offering the same kind of infrastructure though in the implementation things can unravel and there will be many challenges that have to be faced head-on. Merchants have been looking for something like this but of course there has to be done to cope up with volatility also as this is another big concern many merchants are scared of.
