gollark: What if it makes, say, 100 transactions for 1 currency unit to get around that?
gollark: Basically payment is very hard.
gollark: You need the PIN and card, but I don't know if there's anything stopping it from displaying "please authorize a £10 transaction" then actually *making* a £100 one.
gollark: Real payment systems partly get around this by making the chip on the card itself do some cryptography, so it can't make payments without the card being physically there still, but I don't think there's actually anything other than trust, the law, and "security" through obscurity stopping a payment thing from deducting more money than it should?
