"AirRegi is a widely used, tablet-based point-of-sale app in Japan. Currently, around 260,000 establishments, stores, and commercial facilities use this proprietary app to accept payments from their clients."
It makes sense that a transition to accept bitcoin would be underway for more US-based stores.
Will in our nation that would belong in thirds world poor country,i dont remember that there someone retailer or merchandize,or establishment that would accept bitcoins or altcoins as a payment in transacting billing or buying needs or wants.maybe soon if people educate more about bitcoin and the government will legalize bitcoin in our country maybe thats the time that some department store,establishment,retailers or restaurant would accept bitcoin as a transaction payment.
