Cryptocurrencies are getting increasingly popular, but very few of them can be conveniently used in daily mobile phone purchases. To solve this problem, we demonstrate how to build a functional prototype of a mobile cryptocurrencybased ecommerce application the communicates with NearField Communication (NFC) tags. Using the system, users are able to purchase physical items with an NFC tag that contains an ecommerce URL. The payment is done simply by touching the tag with a mobile device and accepting the payment. Our method is constructive we describe the design and technologies used in the implementation and evaluate the security and performance of the solution. Our main finding is that the analysis and measurements show that our solution is feasible for ecommerce.
