Clientside App Crypto-Currency Payments with Web Activities

7 pointsby csuwldcatover 11 years ago
This is a method for enabling an entirely clientside app to take crypto-currency payments using the emerging Web Activity API standard. This API is available today in Firefox OS, and will soon be available in the Firefox browser - adoption by other browser vendors is in the works.<p>A few of us at Mozilla are throwing together a demo, I&#x27;ll post back when we have something you can kick the tires on.

This is a mechanism for all web apps - even 100% clientside, packaged apps - to do crypto-currency payments using the emerging Web Activity API. The API is supported in Firefox OS, and will soon be available in the Firefox browser on desktop and mobile.<p>A few of us at Mozilla are throwing together a prototype just to prove the system works well, we&#x27;ll post back here when we have tires to kick.
