Numo has dropped a zero‑cost Android app that lets merchants kiss Bitcoin in the face-no hardware required, just a flimsy phone and a little tap.
On February 24, 2026, the Numo Point‑of‑Sale (POS) app turned every NFC‑enabled Android phone into a pretending‑to‑be‑smart‑terminal. Powered by Cashu, the open‑source ecash protocol, it mimics Apple Pay so closely you’ll wonder if it’s honest or just a flashy prank. A customer simply drags their device over the merchant’s phone, and-bam-the payment tokens teleport faster than your aunt’s new dance moves.
Built for tiny shops and street‑corner vendors, Numo ships with inventory tracking, a tipping button sharper than a sushi chef’s knife, and an “offline mode” that’s basically a shrug. Merchants can set an “auto‑sweep” threshold to automatically tip your own Lightning wallet once the balance hits, say, 100,000 sats. The entire project is MIT‑licensed and proudly revenues zero platform fees, so merchants get to keep every last sat they collect.
“Bitcoin payments should be as simple as flipping a phone-sometimes you want the phone to flip back,” the developers joked during the launch.
🧭 FAQs
-
What hardware is required to use Numo? Nothing that rubs the ears. If your Android phone can read NFC, you’re set.
-
How does the “auto‑sweep” feature work? Load up a limit-like 100,000 sats-and when you hit it, the app automatically shovels those funds into your external Lightning wallet faster than a kettle on a rusty stove.
-
Is the app available on the Google Play Store? Nope, yet. Grab the APK directly from numopay.org, and watch Google Play announce its arrival like a hesitant gossip.
-
Can customers pay using a standard Lightning wallet? Sure. While Cashu is the groove, Numo shoots Lightning invoices that work with any Bitcoin Lightning wallet.
