i’m building drift.money with @mctflurry—a stablecoin-native SoftPOS designed for IRL commerce. our biggest challenge? distribution: finding shops and merchants willing to accept stablecoins at Devcon, i met @carlosjmelgar, and as we discussed what we’re building, it became clear how aligned Drift is with the /nouns mission to onboard more people into crypto today, we brainstormed ways to make Drift more Nounish. one idea: gamify the experience. as customers pay with Drift, their unique Noun character evolves, unlocking new perks and discounts over time—making payments fun, engaging, and rewarding this not only helps merchants build loyalty and drive repeat business but also incentivizes customers to adopt this new payment method would love to hear your thoughts, how can we make this even better?

I think the key is to start with places that are frequented by crypto people so that they can start using it as they already understand it. In Toronto there are a couple of cafes like that which has a large "tech" audience. Would be nice to start there!

Yeah, there is an area around King/Spadina area, which is a tech hub (lots of big and small tech companies from Mozilla to Jobber to Shopify to Wealthsimple). Some of the shops around are Neo coffee, De Mello, Quantum, Thor. Most of them are independent and are small chains (2-4 locations in Toronto).

@limone.eth
do you go there frequently? other than the tech hub you know if there are people holding crypto?

Good question. I didn't personally ask strangers if they hold crypto, but overhearing conversations... I am guessing some of them do :) Also, right on the same corner (right across Neo Coffee bar and 1 min north of De Mello) Ethereum was born, so lots of crypto people live or work nearby as well.
