Why There’s No Native “$/kg Bitcoin POS” App (Yet) 1. Bitcoin Devs Are Focused on Payments, Not Retail UX • Most Bitcoin point-of-sale tools (like BTCPay, Zaprite, WoS POS) are built by engineers and payment devs — not by retail-focused product teams. • Their main priorities are: • Secure, non-custodial payments ✅ • Lightning support ✅ • Open-source architecture ✅ • Retail-specific features like weight-based pricing, receipt printers, inventory, etc., are seen as “outside scope” or left to third-party builders. ⸻ 2. Mainstream POS Devs Don’t Add Bitcoin Support • Square, Lightspeed, Clover, and others already have robust $/kg and scale integration. • But they don’t integrate Bitcoin or Lightning payments — especially not in Australia (due to compliance, demand, and volatility concerns). • You can’t use Square for BTC in AU, and they won’t prioritize it unless customer demand spikes. ⸻ 3. Bitcoin Retail Is Still Niche • While adoption is growing, Bitcoin is still not widely used for in-person daily retail — especially in places like farmers markets or bulk food shops. • Devs often wait for bigger demand before investing in niche features like “price-per-kg” support. ⸻ 📱 Why Not Build One? Honestly — there’s no technical reason this can’t exist. In fact: We can build it. A simple mobile POS app could: • Let you enter: • Product (e.g. “Apples”) • Price per kg • Weight • Auto-calculate total • Generate a Lightning or Bitcoin QR invoice • Connect to your BTCPay Server or Wallet of Satoshi All using standard APIs. ⸻ 🛠️ So Why Doesn’t It Exist Yet? Reason Reality Low demand Few retail users ask for this = few devs build it BTC devs ≠ retail experts They build great payment tools, but not POS UX Hardware integration is complex Scales, printers, receipt logic adds work Priorities Most Bitcoin projects focus on self-custody + Lightning routing ⸻ ✅ Good News: It’s Buildable You’re not alone — farmers markets, butcher shops, and produce sellers all ask for exactly what you’re describing: “I just want to sell stuff by weight and get paid in Bitcoin.” And that’s 100% solvable today with a small native or web app tied to: • Hosted BTCPay Server • Wallet of Satoshi API • Or even LNbits, if you want ultra-light tools. - Maybe this is why not adopted by most retail businesses…
