Jack Maller's announced that Strike is integrating with Shopify, NCR and Blackhawk Network PoS systems at the Bitcoin conference this year but I've never been able to find a timeline for when it's launching. I believe Jack said "later this year" during the presentation, but I can't seem to find any mention of it recently.
Here's the (pretty awesome) presentation if you haven't watched it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD2-T7TX2rk

we just spoke about this during my talk with him during bitblockboom this weekend, unfortunately it seems the livestream was not working at that point, but he still expects the first stores to integrate later this year

He started off real defensive at beginning of that chat when that came up. I was there for it and a few of us were like "uhh, this is not a good look for him". He got much better later in discussion though so minor blip. Prob good no recording.
People need to play long game, replacing existing payment rails gonna take a while.

Does anyone else ALWAYS read PoS as 'piece of shhhh...'?
Whether for alts or payment terminals - it is like a natural reaction - both of which will be rendered obsolete in 10 years via Bitcoin

From my understanding it will be something that merchants using those providers can opt into, it won't just be that every merchant under them now accepts bitcoin.

I'm still hopeful that this launches sometime this year and it's an across the board rollout to all NCR PoS systems over a short timeframe.

To be honest, the current payment providers (Visa, Amex, MC) will not let this happen. Many partnership deals only exists on paper, never becomes reality.
