Bluecode as European mobile payment alternative (www.bluecode.com)

This is an Austrian company that offers mobile payments with barcode/qr-code in shops in Austria and Germany, as well as in a few places in Italy and Luxembourg.

I use it since one year. It works fine, but it could definitely use more attention, so that more shops start to accept it. What are your thoughts on that?

How does the employee at the till know if the transaction was successful?

Just as they do know: The till will tell them that the customer has paid.

Which is why I said that this QR code thing is much more useful for situations where there's no till in the first place, like a flea market, where a QR code + looking at the transaction log on your phone can make a shoddy yet serviceable till. Certainly better than telling people to go to an ATM if they want to buy something.
