This will all be overtaken within the next year by bitcoin and the services built around it. Traditonal payment methods, systems and the e-wallet concept have had their chance, but their time has come and gone.
- zby 16y agoI agree in general, but maybe not with the timeline. It will take some time to build all the infrastructure - things like this service, on the other hand it should not be too difficult for them to switch to bitcoin once it gets more traction.
- dublinclontarf 16y agoOK, perhaps overtaken was the wrong word. But bitcoin will become the main form of micropayments on the web because there is no messing around with banks or credit cards or any of the hassles that those involve. It will allow this kind of business to develop at a pace much faster than previously possible.
- dlindhol 16y agoCan you elaborate on how you think bitcoin, a digital currency backed by nothing, could replace a solution that can be directly monetized? I don't see bitcoin coming into use outside of a narrow audience, namely very tech savvy individuals/small businesses. Besides companies not buying into the baseless payment scheme, Bitcoin, for lack of better words at the moment, just doesn't offer the sexiness or appeal of Minno. There is obviously a stark contrast btwn Bitcoin's interface, visual appeal, and ease of use and integration (sort of) and that of Minno.
