    Great news. In India we have UPI which already made Mastercard and Visa come to their knees.

      Just if it worked with international payments.

      Currently, International GPay required a credit/debit card and I am unaware of a proper UPI solution for it.
      Also, we lack proper FOSS UPI for Linux despite efforts, due to it being dependent on cellular networks.

          For Android, we are pretty close.
          For Linux, well, as long as I can get a cellular device that works with Linux [1] I am willing to take up development on the Linux branch of the same project. I have actually been considering this for a while and this is the only blocker I see.


          1. could be either a mobile device (smartphone/tablet) or an USB/PCIe WWAN accessory having a Linux compatible cellular chip that also works viably on mobile devices, so I can do the testing. ↩︎
