📝 Original message:Hmm, I've mostly setup what's promised, testing DNS seeds now. There is one
problem I see that I can't really solve myself.
This dnsseed daemon cannot serve more than one name at once, which means
that I cannot serve testnet and mainnet seeds off one daemon instance which
means I need to buy two IP addresses for it. That's unfortunate as it needs
much more spendings from me to operate, second IP address will cost nearly
as much as the server itself.

Can anybody help with this? I cannot into C++ to fix that myself.

Best regards,
Alex Kotenko

📝 Original message:I know that general approach to interaction design in Bitcoin assumes
minimal to no difference between payer and payee, and generally I agree
with this approach.
However, for the sake of my PoS development this assumption is wrong by
default, as PoS is a specialized hardware, and one who cared to buy and
install it is probably not in the same situation as the other party that
didn't care to by anything dedicated.

In short - from PoS point of view there is a customer and a merchant. And
my goal is to make thing work in assumption of fast and reliable connection
on merchant side and no connection requirement at all from customer side.

I didn't put a silly example, as of my experience there are really a lot of
places where cellphone connection isn't good enough for reliable Bitcoin
operation. However, if we're talking about merchant establishments - we can
hope for private local WiFi or wired connection on PoS side, so PoS
internet connection shouldn't be an issue. So this is the use case I'm
designing around and this is why bluetooth based BIP70 implementation is
important for me.

I partly agree with Mike on user interface and IOU idea, but I have no
intention to implement anything like that right now.

Yes, it is a problem. Even in the middle of London you often can get into
situation when cellphone network connectivity is not good enough for quick
and reliable payment. Basement pubs, old buildings with thick walls,
overcrowded places with overloaded radio environment. We should not rely on
mobile connectivity in things like making payments.

Hmm, in this case I think base43 discussion is irrelevant. Even with best
space utilization we can get we will not be able to fit in anything bigger
than a smallest unsigned payment certificate. And that is not so useful. So
probably we should stick with BIP73 approach and bluetooth URI scheme we're
inventing.
