As you have probably guessed I'm big on pushing merchant adoption of feathercoin, I would like nothing more than to be able to buy everything I need using my feathers!

Through adoption we create demand, and through demand we give FTC more worth and we all know what comes with worth!!

So my plan is to create a range of very simple to use merchant tools, the sort of thing the man or woman on the street can use in everyday life to simply allow them to start excepting feathercoin within the business be it for goods or services.

I have already started with featherPay the handheld PoS, which I will continue to develop and hope to have v1.0 out and ready to be tested in a live environment within the next 4 weeks :)

Having spoken to ChrisJ over the last few days and with the assistance of iawgoM yesterday I got round to modifying the code for a very simple PoS web page that can be used by anyone to enable them to easily take payments in FTC via QR Code scanning. I know how you lot love your pictures so here are some screen shots....

The transaction screen

The payment screen

The steps to carry out a transaction are again very simple:-

Tap the splash screen to load the "transaction" screen
Enter the amount in GBP, (other currencies are available) and then tap the "Generate QR Code" button
The QR Code is displayed on the "payment" screen ready for scanning by the customer
Tap the "New Transaction" button to return to the splash screen, rinse and repeat

Thats all there is to it, the current rate of exchange is pulled from api.feathercoin.com

So where do we take it next?

Thats where you lot come in :) I would like to setup something similar to coinmap.org where we can add brinks and mortar business that are excepting feathercoin as a method of payment. The source code is available on git and other coins are already working on modifying it for their coins so we need to get on with this.

I have web space and I'm not afraid to use it :) so all I'm asking for you guys to do is help get it set-up I don't have the skills or the time at the moment as I want to push on with the PoS and a couple of other projects I have in my head.

Once I have this, I want to build a whole site around shopping with FTC, with the map, merchant tools, etc.. but I will need to come back to you on that one as there are way to many ideas in my head at the moment :)

So who is in??

UM

go on scan that code and send some coins you know you want to :)
