Before you can use your cell phone to pay at a B&M store we need payments to be processed in less than 30 minutes. It needs to be at least 200 times that fast.

You transfer your coins to your Google account. The store will trust payments from Google so they accept it instantaneously. It would work like a debit card with bitcoin. Problem solved. Cheesy

...Google isn't making a currency they're just making a payment system to allow people to pay for things with their phones and Apples been rumored to have been working on one for months. The article nothing to do with bitcoins...

Lol. We are saying that Google could implement bitcoin into this payment system.

i'd pay google 1% if they'd take in BTC, store them until 100 confirmations went through, and then spit out any currency on earth from my droid, no matter where i was.

hell, i'd even consider 1 1/2%...

Considering how they screwed goldman sucks on the IPO, I would not be surprised at all if G makes their payment system currency agnostic and as such supporting bitcoin. Actually it might be their only chance to really make it a real success.

How about your mybitcoin account to theirs?

If it has to be direct 0/unc are pretty good after 15 seconds.

yep, maybe we should all write google email proposing they include bitcoin in the app..

Considering a Google employee has worked on bitcoin, it shouldn't be too hard to get it implemented.

You can pay with btc at Meze grill in nyc, that place is brick and mortar.

That is the exception to the rule. If Google implements this right, places NOT accepting bitcoin will be the exception. Smell what I'm stepping in?

I don't see how this really has much to do with Bitcoin. It simply enables people to make payments with smartphones instead of credit cards. Bitcoin is a totally different concept.

Google could open it up so that you could pay in bitcoins. It would be a HUGE help if they did this, even just to make bitcoin a credible currency. Any store with the readers, you could use bitcoins. Of course you would probably have to deposit them into a Google account first, and your anonymity is gone, but it creates a way to finally use bitcoins in a brick and mortar store.
