By connecting to some other client, presumably. Have a small hardware client that is able to do payments via NFC/QR/... directly with a merchant, and can get 'recharged' by connecting with your desktop client, for example. Maybe too futuristic to be a concern, but it nicely illustrates how doing direct sender-to-receiver negotiation can help decoupling tasks. > I don't really have a strong opinion either way, but doing more work to > prevent transactions being announced to the network feels weird.
