Devices, methods, and systems for accepting multiple nonuniform input channels

A computationally-implemented system, comprising

• circuitry for receiving a potential transaction initiation request, said potential transaction initiation request configured to indicate an intent to carry out a potential transaction;
• circuitry for acquiring potential transaction data that includes a request to use a particular payment channel for at least a portion of the potential transaction;
• circuitry for determining that the acquired particular payment channel includes a payment channel that is not directly accepted;
• and
• circuitry for negotiating a payment channel facilitation configured to facilitate at least a portion of the potential transaction in a manner in which, to at least one party to the potential transaction, the acquired payment channel appears to be used to carry out the potential transaction.
