Great demo! Not sure how it would make money though. With platforms like Apple Pay starting to roll out everywhere you would face some seriously strong competition on mobile payments.

Our advantage is that Apple/Google, etc. works in reverse. The "tag" is the phone, not the reader. This is a much cheaper solution.

Yes! There is something in UX called "first time experience" (aka: A tutorial) that could be added. In the case of the street performers, they don't even need a phone, so instructions can be posted on the T2T2tTT website or printed out

Very creative idea - interesting. I like the idea of tying to the licensing system.

The business model for the whole enchilada was to start with a smaller "niche" market, like street performers. And just limit to tipping and rating. After making enough noise, it can scale up easily. And that's when the licensing can start
