Yeah I'm not sure, but did a survey online about, obviously expressed displeasure, but in the survey there was information including a graphic that appeared to be some sort of card, beaming info to another card while it was talking about transferring money while the network was unavailable.
Interesting, thanks for the link. So essentially it acts like a “promissory” note, and it still requires an internet connection to confirm the transaction. Importantly, you can’t spend the money you gained offline until you reconnect.
Seems like it could work but I would still expect hackers to take advantage of it - which is great because the quicker we break the trust of this CBDC sysyem, the more people will seek alternative methods.
