It is correct, noting that “accepting Bitcoin payments” and “receiving Bitcoin settlement” are two different things (and two different phases in my view).
In many cases the merchants we serve via their existing fiat QR providers don’t even know they are accepting Bitcoin, you are right about that, but we are changing this and running pro-Bitcoin campaigns with them - that level of education actually takes a lot more time than just enabling that Lightning -> QR bridge via a partner. The most notable success story is our first and, by far largest, client: PicknPay, the second largest retailer on the continent - they actively promote that they accept BTC and put up BTC signage in store.

Get the staff to download a Lightning wallet, tip them well, and let them be your ambassadors.

Staff training is slow and expensive. We send training materials, but found the most effective training program involves plebs explaining btc payments to staff

Our QR scanner is now inside many LN wallets so you don’t need our app as well - @nprofile…ff00 , @npub1ajl…zx3q , @npub1cm3…96wt , Layerz, etc

It is possible but really a marginal iteration that requires a ton of effort. We can solve it today if merchants are willing to buy new hardware, but it doesn’t scale well.

Exactly, Bitcoin payments overlap with most of the central bank’s goals like bringing down the cost of payments, promoting financial inclusion and implementing interoperable systems. There are, however, some aspects that do not overlap.

They are accepting Bitcoin payments as an option, but they are receiving settlement in fiat (Rands).

MoneyBadger is running the Bitcoin Coffee Bounty Hunt across South Africa in partnership with Bootlegger, a national coffee shop chain with over 85 locations now accepting Bitcoin via our bridge. Customers can pay by scanning their bill directly with Blink wallet, with Aqua (hopefully) coming soon and more wallets to follow, or with any Lightning wallet using the MoneyBadger scanner app and deeplinking.
Dedicated bounty hunters are already in action: more than 10% of Bootlegger outlets have been successfully claimed and “orange-pilled,” with staff personally shown how Bitcoin payments work.
We are now turning the Coffee Bounty Hunt into a competitive game between teams. To fuel the excitement, we are seeking sponsorship for prizes for the winning team. MoneyBadger is already funding each bounty at $3 plus 25,000 sats per meetup, which are hosted by local Bitcoiners at their nearest Bootlegger location.
