Got pretty quiet in here,

Get a grip old man, I'm doing the best I can here.

No wonder you were surprised.

Ok. Show the link...jeez.

Do not most bona-fide stores/shops have this here?

It was a rhetorical question, posed to show the possible dangers, not as something I would advocate. Or how about the USDOJ subpoenaing Amazon for the names of everyone that bought a MAGA hat?

You mean do not pay income taxes. I think it a good bet that the margins at 70% of venders are such that they are not required to pay income tax. You can bet the revenue department visits every 7/11 in the country a couple times a month.

While there are a lot of great benefits, the understanding the potential for social engineering abuses does not make one a conspiracy theorist. If the public is paying for your healthcare, should the public not have the right to control your eating, smoking and drinking?

Or they just put up the correct QR code. And if they have the phony QR code, they know where the money is going, yes?

I read it. If the owner does not get the money, their phone does not beep.

We're just not smart enough. The really smart people (leftists) all know that bringing in ten million illegals that are often illiterate in their native language, much less English, benefit the economy. Millions of low and no skilled workers do not put downward pressure on wages, and millions of new households do not put upward pressure on housing costs. Millions of new people using the same public services such as health-care, education, food stamps, welfare and all other government assistance programs does not in any way increase the cost of those programs or reduce the availability. Only really stupid people believe the impact is negative.

So yes, the shop owner's phone beeps when they receive the funds. If someone has swapped out the QR code, the owner's phone would not beep, correct?

So, they sneak in and swap the QR code while the shop owner is not paying attention? Does the shop owner's phone not beep when they receive the funds?

No. What I said was that 300,000,000 American would be negatively impacted. I remind you that the border was largely under control when Trump left office, and Biden came it and reverse all of the Trump era policies. The border bill would only have helped process illegals into the county more quickly.

Yes, I modified the text, but I did not post it as a quote, and no, it was not deleted.

I am not talking about transaction fees, I am talking about the capital investment for the equipment required to accept a no-contact payment, at say a Home Depot or Walmart or some-such in the west. Does the bank provide everything free of charge to the vendor?

I meant what does it cost the vendor, not the customer. 😁😁😁

Why do you guys suppose the judge will not allow a campaign finance expert to testify for Trump? And why was the case resurrected only after Matthew Colangelo moved from one of the top spots in the Biden DOJ to NY, and (coincidentally) ends up on this case. Enquiring minds want to know...

Which has nothing to do with QR codes used in point-of-sale situations, correct? I do not doubt that scammers have found a way to utilize QR codes in their scams, but we are talking about point-of-sale, not email scams.

Neither do you, apparently.

If it negatively impacts his "brand", it could be argued it was in the best interest of the company to pay it. That said, as I understand it, the funds used were not company funds, but from the Trump trust.

How is paying hush money an illegal scheme? So like I've said all along, influencing an election is not illegal.

Yeah, the left loved him before the election.

So, they can learn a bit with your help in the few years or not have the slightest idea what to do with it when they get it.

It's cheap and easy and everyone can access it. What does a contactless payment system in the UK cost? I guessing more than just printing out a QR code.
