Title: InstantPay from The BC .. The WTF?
Post by: Stephen Gornick on November 27, 2010, 05:00:02 AM
"Pay and Get Paid Instantly"
"Trackable Transactions Without Sharing Your Financial Information"
"No bank, account, credit card or cheque required"

At first I thought the BC meant this was some Bitcoin-related endeavor.

Trying to understand what it was (or will be, launches in January, per a Wikipedia comment), I started to think it was some type of myspace clone that requires you to pay to see images and listen to music ("collect royalty for every download", it says).  I guess without a bank or credit card, the "Send Money Instantly" part would be from what you earned for your content.  But then I see "Pay utility bills online at your convenience", ? ? ?

Anyways, ... hadn't seen this before, thought I'd share it.
