Title: Would this service interest anyone?
Post by: CryptoFreak33 on September 20, 2012, 08:57:53 PM
So as I move forward in the development of BitVendor (http://www.bitvendor.net) I'm really thinking that the solution needs a true Bitcoin based credit/debit card. I'm not talking about something that moves fiat but rather something that actually initiates a Bitcoin transfer from one address to another when scanned at a connected merchant.

Would anyone be interested in something like this? Obviously, it would be a bit before it would be launched as I want to get BitVendor out of the door first (October 20th) but it could be an additional (consumer-centric) service we offer.

Thoughts?

There is an issue.  The card would have to some how have access to a private key.  This would be a security concern.  If the card required a pin to use I would not be too concerned about the security concern.  Especially if the coins were backed up and could be restored in the case of a lost card. 

edit: grammar
