Also before I forget.
Can community come together and help find a solution to the Android POS wallet? I will start:
EuropeCoin POS Android Wallet:
Dogecoin Android Wallet on Github
https://github.com/langerhans/dogecoin-wallet-newCan we use this base to fork a repository and set it up and wait for developers? This seems to be most full featured POW open source wallet I could find. If anyone finds a better codebase to fork from, please reply to this post. POS implementation is apparently non-trivial as at least three other communities have talked about it. BlackCoin, MintCoin, and PeerCoin. Maybe we should pool resources e.g. devs?
Mintcoin is getting close to releasing theirs.
http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/25mrvy/sounds_like_we_are_getting_close_to_having_our/EuropeCoin Point of Sale Android QR-Code/UPC-Code Scanner/Wallet:We will need to assure that if Retailers wish to label their items for sale that they can print out QR Code labels that the vendor can use his own phone to read, and then generate a QR code for the EuropeCoins's Wallet Software to send coins to. Most will still likely just use their current labels and convert the current price of EuropeCoin to fiat and then charge based on that.
So we could be the first UPC code scanning wallet for any altcoin (I think), and allowing easy integration into Point of Sale systems at retailers would be a major selling point.
UPC Code Reader codebases.
http://zbar.sourceforge.net/http://sourceforge.net/projects/zbar/?source=directory -- Zbar Does QR Code and UPC as well as others. // Comes in tons of languages.
IMHO, these two developments need to be linked and out of the door as soon as possible.
Stage 2: EuropeCoin Printed Ad Campaign: I've said it before and I will say it again, we have technical folks, we have aesthetic folks, we have doers, and we have supporters. Let's make sure we use all four parts of the community.
Aesthetic Folks, let's make some posters to raise awareness.
After we have the posters, an ad campaign can be facilitated by existing advertising networks that specifically target areas of Europe interested in cryptocurrencies or in need of them.
Stage 3: Hardware package with a branded Android Compatible Wireless Scanner for ERCThis will allow any retailer who pays a nominal sum to receive a wireless scanner screenprinted with EuropeCoin's logo and branding all over it. EuropeCoin can leverage this to raise brand awareness as well as being able to have a tactile object emblazoned with professional looking logos and a simple list of picture instructions for using the device. As well as a feeling from vendors that we are serious and here to stay. A branded hardware device is a big step both in terms of the manufacturing/logistics and financial commitments but think about it this way.
EuropeCoin Wireless UPC scanners will create demand from brand awareness, and create market volume for years to come. Want to know how VISA got big? Stickers on every door of the businesses that accepted it and people asking questions while people paying for it saw the branded VISA credit cards swipers.
Here is one.
