Voir article paru dans WIRED Mar 2010

Les systèmes de paiements échappent progressivement aux banques
et cartes magnétiques (crédit card) pour devenir virtuel et quasi
totalement
gratuite. L'avancée qui est faite pourrait réduire encore plus la frontière
entre
monnaies officielles, complémentaires et libres.

Ex:
 *The New Ways
to Pay*
 The credit card is in decline. Here are a few hints of what might replace
it. *— D.R.*


 **

  *Twitpay*

Type a friend’s Twitter handle, a dollar amount, and twitpay to transfer
funds to their PayPal account.
 *Zong*

Instead of entering credit card information anew for every online purchase,
users fill in their phone number and the charge shows up on their monthly
bill.
 *Square*

The latest from Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey, this 3/4-inch cube turns any
iPhone into a credit card reader.
 *GetGiving*

This mobile app uses PayPal to enable charities to accept small donations
without the usual exorbitant credit card transaction fees.
 *Hub Culture*

Travelers can avoid the hassle and fees of swapping dollars for euros by
transacting in virtual currency in this international network of
workstations.
