RE: RE: RE: Pay by phone

Guys/Gals, sorry coming late to the party on this. Not sure why the debate here but these are scannable apps available on iOS and Android. Here are a couple examples:

I recall reading an article the other day about some retailers deploying iPads to replace cash registers, so I googled it: https://www.thetelegram.com/Business/2013-04-01/article-3211189/The-death-of-cash-registers/1

They are not secure as far as I know, and they are NOT NFC--as Wavector already said. Imagine some hacker siting outside Barneys scanning the airwaves/wifi for your cc info as it passes from your phone to the retailers iPad/iPod?--a goldmine of info to be exploited. NFC won't allow that.

My two cent contribution...wavector pls keep up the great contributions.
