If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
I challenge the members of the Apple ping list to each donate at least $10 each to the latest Freepathon. I HAVE donated $100. Many members of the Apple Ping list are already rising to the challenge. Join them. Let's show the power of the Apple Ping list in supporting Freerepublic!
I have been curious how this compares to what is offered by Paypal. They sent us a little credit/debit card reader that works with our Android phone.
One key factor is that CurrentC is terrible. It collects your banking data, location, transaction history, and, for no clear reason, health data and promises to use all of them for marketing purposes. It displays a QR code on the screen for the user to scan, followed by a QR code on the smartphone screen for the cashier to scan. It’s a hack on top of a kludge on top of a jury-rig based on an inept implementation of a dumb idea by people looking to screw users over.
vs. tap your phone or watch on the screen and you’re done, with the middleman never collecting or keeping your data. No-brainer.
Bottom line: CurrentC is a solution to retailers’ problems, not customers’.
Let’s just let “CurrentC” die a quiet, painful death, shall we?
It hit the trifecta of inconvenient, insecure, and invasive.
