 BoltCard Tools Terminal App v1.0.2 Released

"Have you ever tried to pay via Lightning with your BoltCard, but the merchant's Point-of-Sale doesn't support it? With this simple app, you can scan his invoice with your phone, tap your BoltCard on your phone, to pay him directly, in Peer-2-Peer, from your node to his node."

 As hilarious as this is, I also think it's pretty cool and as convoluted as it is, it's something that will definitely feel like something new and exciting.

"They just lifted the bill from our point of sale and then paid it from their own phone!! - Magic!"  
 It just occurred to me that this does provide something: it's safer to tap your card on your own phone and have it do the communication than to rely on the merchant's device. But it's also 2 steps instead of 1. 🤔 
 "I'MA USE MY FOKIN PLASTIC CARD, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" XD
