SEATTLE: Chris Sun was trying to persuade homeless people to accept free money, which, in this case, was harder than it seemed. 

As people lined up for lunch at the Millionair Club in the Belltown neighbourhood, Sun asked if anyone had heard of the Samaritan app. Some were apprehensive, so Sun explained: It's a cashless way to give directly to homeless people, via a smartphone app.
