Hi guys,
do you know a good and privacy friendly way to pay with your phone (like Google Pay)? I am using Graphene OS on a Pixel 8 and lice in Germany so some services might not be available here 🙈
Phone case with space for a credit card under the back. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Armor-Compatible-Google-Pixel-Black/dp/B0BZ5PBKXP
You are in germany, so you will need to wait for GNU Taler for that:
thanks for the link. this looks really promising.
Doesn’t exist. I was also surprised that this was not NFC-related tech, but google/apple-specific.
I guess it makes sense - you need some kind of authority to validate/take blame for transactions (outside of the hot mess of block chain), I had just always presumed that the tech didn’t need much to work.
Paypal, Volksbank VR Pay/ Sparkasse or any other supported bank maybe. Privacy friendly? Good luck….
Did you look into garmin watches? GOS has no pay function.
Like others said, banking needs licensing and licensing costs money. If you already have a bank account, you already trust one party. Ask them if they roll their own app-payment or are already partnered with a service. That way, you can avoid google/Apple and minimize spreading the trust to other parties. My bank cooperates with Fidesmo, for example. Fidesmo then sells wearables with nfc-pay.
