I run a small business and I would like to accept credit / debit card payments on my Android phone running #GrapheneOS

@Edent If it helps, SumUp sell standalone terminals (which are more expensive) but work very well. We use them unattended across the hackspace.
If you wanted to try a £30 terminal, Screwfix sell them and have a pretty generous returns policy.
@hugh yeah, that's what I'm thinking. TBF, they're doing one for £19+VAT with free returns, so I might try that. Ta!

@Edent A buddy who was using Square and a Pixel 6a (that he had been using to test Android apps) ran into this a few months ago. This isn't the answer you are looking for, but he ended up keeping one phone for Square at craft fairs and another for testing his Flutter apps.

@Edent Better than a bandolier full of phones?

@sborrill I'm not being funny, but I'm struggling to understand why you replied to me then?
@Edent I was saying that flagging developer tools wasn't a GrapheneOS-specific issue. SumUp doesn't even work well on stock Android (or on a web-browser). I'll back off now if I'm deemed to be a reply guy. Good luck taking payments. I'll follow along as it's something I'm interested in for various volunteer things I'm involved in.

@thedarkener What are the names of the people behind GrapheneOS and what sort of liability have they agreed to?

@Edent What?

@Edent What?
@thedarkener how do you know that Graphene is more secure?
If you're a bank and having to deal with huge amounts of fraud, how would you verify that Graphene meets your security requirements?Like, I'm quite happy to use it. But I'm not going to lose millions if they get compromised.

@Edent Dude, are you trolling or what?
Your profile shows that you're into F/OSS. You should already know the answers to these questions.

I *do* know the answers to these questions. I've written extensively about it.See, for example, https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/05/the-limits-of-general-purpose-computation/
Just because the OS is "built with security in mind" doesn't mean that it needs the regulatory needs of a bank.

@thedarkener
Yes! Exactly. That's the point I make in my blog post.
Glad we're on the same page. -
@fiend_unpleasant Wow! You're *so* insightful! Can you tell me more, please?
@Edent Sure, what part of it did you not understand?
