#2For these businesses, I'd set up something like a myNode [1] or a RaspiBlitz [2]. This way, all the merchant needs is an internet connection.
Granted, customers will need something like BLW [3]. If they've got no other options to pay the merchant, then that should be sufficient.
Accept either physical Federal Reserve Notes, or decentralized electronic payments.

Federal laws do trump state laws in most cases, it is settled. This case is due to the fed's noninterference policy, which they chose for themselves, it's not being forced on them because of some Civil War-era debate.

They'll never accept crypto.
They generally take cash, debit card, and a prepaid debit card (something prepaid like that) and use modern PoS.
Bank access is coming soon too.
