No one envisioned that two smart chips could create a digitally-signed token WITHOUT interacting ONLINE at the instance of making a payment. With the MiniPay solutions, the 5th Payment Revolution has just started; it's a logical evolution for using Smart Chips embedded on a card or any kind of device.
Existing payment solutions offered in today's market create EXCLUSION where the Street Vendors, small merchants cannot accept digital payments.
Moving towards a cashless society requires a solution that works for everyone, at any time, without being dependent on the internet or mobile access. Current payment solutions are outdated, it takes too a long time for making a payment and dependency of smartphones for everyone is a nice dream and vision, but what will we do when there is no communication available?
