It's more accurate to say something like this: The "payment instrument discovery agent" will eventually discover available payment instruments across multiple local and cloud-based payment services. > but it is not possible with current web technologies. We have a prototype in the Credentials CG, built on current Web technologies, that makes discovery across multiple local and cloud-based payment service providers possible. > that is the reason I asked "who discover". It's the job of the "payment instrument discovery agent". I'm putting that term in quotes because we have never used it before, it's unwieldy, and I'm only using it because the term "wallet" doesn't give us the type of granularity we need to have this discussion. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Web Payments: The Architect, the Sage, and the Moral Voice https://manu.sporny.org/2015/payments-collaboration/
