Hey @Dhruv

Marvin•11/20/24, 7:56 AM

Nice. I also work in payments. With EMVco type payment devices most running on top of a embedded Linux OS.
At what level do you work bare-metal, RTOS or embedded Linux?

DhruvOP•11/20/24, 8:01 AM

Actually I am working on top layer. not inside the feig device itself. so, basically I had a top layer code which is already working. I am trying to understand the code, flows only.

DhruvOP•11/20/24, 8:02 AM

I have the code that read and write data to card and validate it using apis.

DhruvOP•11/20/24, 8:03 AM

I am not working on device's core functionality.

DhruvOP•11/20/24, 8:34 AM

Okay.

melta101•11/20/24, 8:35 AM

related to payment,
I have ventured into UPI QR generation in embedded devices
though it was so bad, when i see it now

DDhruv I have the code that read and write data to card and validate it using apis.

Marvin•11/20/24, 8:36 AM

what kind of cards are they? just regular NFC?

MMarvin what kind of cards are they? just regular NFC?

melta101•11/20/24, 8:37 AM

yep

melta101•11/20/24, 8:37 AM

each card
if i am not wrong
hold-iD and amount stored

Marvin•11/20/24, 8:38 AM

I just finished some work on UPI for contact and contactless payments. Very interesting how they do things somewhat detached from VISA and Mastercard.

melta101•11/20/24, 8:39 AM

yep
also 0 commision
best part

Mmelta101 yep also 0 commision best part

Marvin•11/20/24, 8:42 AM

is UPI used a lot in your region?

MMarvin is UPI used a lot in your region?

melta101•11/20/24, 9:00 AM

it was made in my country

melta101•11/20/24, 9:00 AM

i forgot about cash for so long

melta101•11/20/24, 9:01 AM

now a days
if i have to travel anywhere
its just my phone and earpods
no need of wallet lol

Mmelta101 it was made in my country

Marvin•11/20/24, 9:10 AM

Oh wait I see. We are talking about two different UPIs.
On my end it is UnionPay, they also call it UPI on your end it is the Unified Payments Interface. Tell me about it.

MMarvin Oh wait I see. We are talking about two different UPIs. On my end it is UnionPay...

melta101•11/20/24, 9:12 AM

Oh damn

Totally did'nt realize it

so basically UPI is a protocol which helps in real-time bank xfers

melta101•11/20/24, 9:17 AM

This was mainly introduced because lots of corruption was done using cash.
So when the gov suddenly replaced top currency notes. it gave more push to use UPI

melta101•11/20/24, 9:18 AM

so unlike MasterCard and VISA which takes a cut from every payment
from UPI, it doesnt take anything from anyone(buyer,seller, app that integrated UPI)

Marvin•11/20/24, 9:22 AM

that is very neat. And the NFC cards can be tokenized in some app? I am assuming the phone has to be NFC enabled.

MMarvin that is very neat. And the NFC cards can be tokenized in some app? I am assuming...

melta101•11/20/24, 9:25 AM

NFC
which dhruv was talking about is different in this context
that NFC is meant to be only used within Metro stations
Every station entry and exit have card reader that help with this

if you want to update the amount, you would need to give to the counter present there to update it.

melta101•11/20/24, 9:26 AM

UPI uses UPI ID(which are most often QR code) to xfer money

Mmelta101 NFC which dhruv was talking about is different in this context that NFC is meant...

Marvin•11/20/24, 9:31 AM

Right.

Mmelta101 UPI uses UPI ID(which are most often QR code) to xfer money

Marvin•11/20/24, 9:31 AM

So in order to make a payment, a merchant will scan my UPI QR? Or I scan theirs?

MMarvin So in order to make a payment, a merchant will scan my UPI QR? Or I scan theirs?

melta101•11/20/24, 9:32 AM

we scan thier

melta101•11/20/24, 9:33 AM

they can request money also from us by scanning

melta101•11/20/24, 9:34 AM

now a days
everthing is done with UPI
from elec bill, house rent/maintaince, daily groceries, online commerce etc

Marvin•11/20/24, 9:35 AM

do you have to explicitly move money from the bank to it. Or just link the bank to it for automatic movement?

MMarvin do you have to explicitly move money from the bank to it. Or just link the bank ...

melta101•11/20/24, 9:36 AM

the later

ZZacckOsiemo is this their M-pesa?

Yes but better than. No changes. M-pesa is notoriously exorbitant. And banks also need their cut.
