- mechanical_fish 15y agoHoly cow, Square is going to have all the pieces to build the ultimate restaurant-bill-splitting application of our dreams. Card Case doesn't happen to have an API, does it? ;)
- pbreit 15y agoDo people really dream of such a thing? Some at PayPal thought bill-splitting would amount to something which was of course foolish. The difficulty and hence lucrativeness of financial transactions depends on size, distance and familiarity. A large transaction across the world between two strangers is the riskiest/hardest/most expensive. A small transaction face-to-face amongst friends is the opposite.
