A new Point Of Sale (POS) system that accepts Bitcoin payments launched in the Netherlands today, allowing patrons of the EMG Faktors bar to pay for their pints using the virtual currency.

Developed by the Dutch company Bitcoin Café, the NUVOPOS  system enables customers at the bar in Groningen (the first place to use it) to simply place an order, scan a QR code on screen at the bar and pay using Bitcoins via their smartphone.
