There is Kasisto which uses Monero (XMR).

https://github.com/amiuhle/kasisto

> Kasisto is a Point of Sale payment system to accept the cryptocurrency Monero. The only requirement is an internet connection, there are no third parties involved.

> To be fast (confirmation within seconds), Kasisto accepts unconfirmed transactions.

If you're not using a middleman, then I think it would be wise to use a private-by-default currency so that others cannot see your financials.

EDIT: Kasisto may be obsolete, not sure. I recommend asking at https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero or at one of their IRC channels https://www.getmonero.org/community/hangouts/

Also a great place to start is Monero Outreach [0]. A bit down the page is a link to a github which links to different integration possibilities for things like WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and OpenCart [1].

(Disclaimer, I own some XMR after learning about it here on HN years ago.)




Monero is one of the best coins for actual payments right now. I've seen people pay others in XMR for original content. Low fees and good speed.


Monero is so underrrated. It's always "bitcoin this, bitcoin that" as if that's the only currency which matters.

For now, since fiat onramps are pretty obvious, people report their taxes like normal. Record each transaction until it's good enough, give or take some under-the-table cash.

Here's an interesting project that's trying to encourage crypto adoption: https://cryptoforthehomeless.org/
