Wouldn’t want to be an early adaptor, but if it’s safe and widely accepted, I’d definitely be up for it. Would be nice if the mobile could read a barcode from the bill for example, so no information has to be put in manually… dunno, just an idea.

I’d be more than happy to use this if there was a simple confirmation prompt via the phone. I often don’t have cash on me, this would be a good solution for lunch. On the other hand, I can use cards in so many places now that I wonder what affordance I gain from the phone being able to do it? Can I leave my wallet at home? Even if I could, would I?

I’d be afraid to use it for ages because I take some convincing that new stuff is entirely safe from the possibility of fraud.
