Title: New type of wallet design to be used in over-the-counter
Post by: CryptoDevice on January 03, 2014, 06:34:50 AM
Hi all,

I'm writting this post to try and inform people about our project. If you haven't already; have a read, and tell a friend.

we're currently working on a very exciting new project developing a new cryptocurrency wallet like none currently in the market.
This wallet will be in the form of a handheld device that can be used in shops to buy bitcoins/litecoin/any cryptocurrency OVER THE COUNTER.
We're aiming so that by December you'll be able to walk into a corner store, buy 20 cryptocoins, then walk down to TESCOs and get your weekly shopping.

It will facilitate not only payments to and from PayPoints, so you can load/unload coins onto and from the wallet, but will also allow you to transfer from wallet to wallet, it effectively shall enable you to do everything you can do with a credit/debit card, except with participating retailers (which will be many and varied).

We already have 60 score businesses that are willing to trial out our prototypes, and our goal is to have several hundred by the end of year one.
R&D is still waiting for the patents to be appropriated, but once the patent is pending there will be updates as to device specifics, CAD drawings, plans, and specifications.


Thank you very much, and if you like the idea, please follow us, and tell a friend!

I believe that you'll get more comments when there'll be some technical information available and a clear position on how you plan to use those patents.

For the time being and with the information provided it doesn't seem very innovative, at least to me - some other people (such as http://bitcoincard.org/ (http://bitcoincard.org/)) already advertised similar things. A regular smartphone wallet, or any other hardware wallet could also be used Over The Counter with the right connectivity, and so on.
