Topic: Bitcoin Point of Sale (PoS) -- Android app (Read 1501 times)

very...very .... very interesting and usable.... congratulations... if you need translate to czech or slovak language I can help you

Well done i think its very interesting thing on this forum but i have some questions .
1.How we know that who using this POS bitcoin machine ?
2.If some one using other languages other than English and Greek?
3.If this POS bitcoin machine is illegal on that country ?

I was not aware of them. Their UI for the wallet is nice and they seem to be working on a PoS (they call it payment terminal) solution as well.

I might contact them, thanks for the suggestion.

Like a german startup - Pey.de. Do you communicate with these guys?

While I don't currently have a need for your app, I wanted to say good work. You found a problem and solved it instead of making a solution and looking for a problem it can solve.

v1.3.1 is up, with UX improvements!

Thank you patatas.


I am not planning to make money out of the app. It is open source for anyone to use or fork and modify to suit his/her needs.


The merchant (using the BitcoinPoS app) needs to be online to get the currency exchange rates as well as check the bitcoin network for payments. The client (using any bitcoin wallet) needs to be online to send the payments (ie. transactions to a bitcoin node).


The items section is currently a list so it might be cumbersome for lots of items. I have thought of adding categories and/or grid of items (instead of list) but the UI will be more complex so I avoided it for now until I get more feedback.

Pretty Nice Initiative ! A few questions I'd like to throw, answer them if you want to!

-How are you planning to make money ? Service charge ? App Maintainance ?
-How can a customer pay for the purchases if the store is off-line ?
-How scalable is the "items section" on the app ? Big enough to run an entire bitcoin-based e-commerce site ?

Hi all,

I run the Bitcoin meetups where I live and some of our members requested a Bitcoin PoS that is easy to use but also allows for pre-defined items.

I have created such an app and I would very much like your feedback / comments / experiences !

It is currently in beta so searching in the play store for "Bitcoin PoS" might not show it. To be safe use the opt-in url:
