Other cryptocurrencies? Implement nano (XNO) currency for peer-to-peer payments (or others)

[vinibarbosabr]

I wonder if there are any plans to allow other cryptocurrencies and decentralized peer-to-peer networks for payments in the marketplace.

This would give sellers and buyers more options in sending and receiving peer-to-peer payments, allowing them to choose and close a deal in their currency of preference, competing freely with their own advantages and disadvantages in a real free market.

That said. I wonder if any implementation development from the open source nano community would be welcome in this regard. Or if it would be prevented in any way by the project managers.

I might be able to start a bounty to incentive this implementation by people with the proper skill set, as I'm not a developer my self. I'm just a huge enthusiast of using decentralized peer-to-peer money (and I actually receive ~20% of my monthly income in bitcoin, nano, bch and monero — so it would be interesting being able to spend them directly in OpenBazaar).

Talking exclusively about XNO (aka nano), I also think that OpenBazaar could directly benefit by allowing its implementation.

XNO has straight forward characteristics that make it a great, secure, and very efficient medium of exchange — allowing buyers to pay less and get quicker confirmation that their purchase was successful; while allowing seller to receive more with the certainty of deterministic finality settlement of irreversible monetary transactions.

This happens because nano operates in a feeless network (no fees for the end user), and ~0.3sec network confirmations for each p2p transactions made.

I'd like to add to Vini's comment.

The best implementations are always non-custodial.

Users get a Nano Private Key, which they use to sign Nano blocks client-side. Blocks can then be sent off to any Public RPC that supports "process" calls.

I'd like to contribute Nano.to's Public RPC to this cause.

Using a Public RPC allows anyone to set up a Nano implementation MVP in minutes ;)
