What
This crowdfunding campaign aims to further develop a Free and Open Source Android app (XMRpos), which is designed for use by merchants on a dedicated Point of Sale (POS) device with thermal printer. These devices are somewhat commoditized and available in online stores like Amazon or AliExpress for 100-200 Euro.
A Proof of Concept was kick started on bounties.monero.social and we now need additional funding to take the app to the next level.
Pre-release APK for testing is available here:
https://github.com/MoneroKon/XMRpos/releases/tag/v0.1-pre-alpha-debug
Key features
- Print receipts
- Broadcast Monero URI address over NFC
- Integration with MoneroPay server
- Export all transactions with fiat exchange rate information to CVS file

Setting overview: https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/play/354942/ee180519-5949-43e6-b2d4-15e80b5bdb51
The raised funds will be used to purchase a number of POS units, polish the user interface, and offer bounties for completing open issues: https://github.com/MoneroKon/XMRpos/issues
Project status updates will be shared during MoneroKon planning meetings on #monerokon@matrix.org
Expenditures will be tracked on this issue: https://github.com/MoneroKon/XMRpos/issues/23
Why
XMRpos app makes in-person transactions easy and fast. The operator, usually an employee, would not need any special training or know anything about cryptocurrencies. The form factor is similar to normal credit card POS devices used in stores.
This app will enable more merchants to accept Monero payments in shops, helping advance the Monero circular economy.
