    We just got one of these and am very excited. It is free to get, and only charges 2.5% or something like that per transaction. It is able to be used on any android or iphone and the software is free.

    We got one to use when/if we ever get enough corals to do a frag swap.

    Thought I would share this in case anyone else would be interested!

    Just saw this on Tech Talk-pretty neat concept. I'm wondering what kind of *can of worms* this may open up as far as ease of theft???

    Nice! You will love it for frag swaps. I used one at the last swap I was at. A friend of mine needed help and he wasn't technologically inclined so I used the square for the iphone. It was very user friendly and fast.

    I think this is the same company or similar to "squared up" or "squared" or whichver the name was. Started out offering fantastic rates to draw people in then raised them. Be careful.

    I love square.
    Square has revolutionized street vendors around me. They do have minor quibbles about printing as I recall but there are supposed to be some fixes in the works.
