I was reading about how iBeacon will revolutionize contact less payments but when I read about square wallet, I thought this is already done without any need of iBeacon.

Thoughts? Am I missing anything here?

Have you used Square Wallet yet?

Experience is awful. It is thought that BLE might be better tech that leads to a better experience.

Based on this paper, I'm not sure I'd want to rely on something like BLE for payments: http://0b4af6cdc2f0c5998459-c0245c5c937c5dedcca3f1764ecc9b2f...
