The discussion is about finding a simple solution for Bitcoin transactions. One suggestion is a browser extension, but this would only work until browsers add native support for detecting the tag and prompting a wallet client. The extension would also be limited to just one device or require manual syncing between devices, and likely only available on a few platforms. The proposed solution involves extra BIP70 extensions for communication between the wallet and merchant. The browser extension relays the details in the HTML tag, supporting graceful degradation if the browser or wallet don't support it. Another suggestion involves asking a hardware wallet for data over BLE, allowing secure auto-fill of Bitcoin transactions. This could be useful for situations where you're using an untrusted machine, such as at a library or friend's house. Overall, the goal is to make Bitcoin transactions simple and secure.
