This will be nice.

A few months ago a street vendor was selling a book he had written. He seemed like a nice guy and I wanted to support his initiative. The book was only $10.

He didn’t take cash, nor Venmo, nor PayPal. He took cash app, Apple Pay and a bunch of other things I had never heard of. I don’t use cash app and wouldn’t sign up just for him.

We tried to use Apple Pay but couldn’t figure out how to add his contact info and send money. I’m sure we could have eventually figured it out, but we gave up. He also had an android phone with some apps there but couldn’t work with my iPhone.

This sounds like it would have been really useful. I’ll settle with “just give $10 to this person who has an iPhone, I don’t care about anything else” as a step closer to “just give $10 to this person who has anything”
