I'm not sure you could assume this, even if the payer only received one broadcast.

Agree, the problem of the payer strongly identifying the receiver requires either proximity (NFC or QR code scan from the known-good source) or PKI/WoT.

I'm imagining myself walking around broadcasting my photo and MAC address while hucksters push payment requests to me for approval, while recording my photo and correlating it to my address. It will pretty quickly turn in to a scenario where I need to touch something before this is turned on. > On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 9:06 PM, Paul Puey > wrote: >=20 > The BIP70 protocol would preclude individuals from utilizing the P2= P > transfer spec.
