This is surely a long shot here, but I’d love to get my hands on one of these. Anyone have a Chinese contact ?

I have a couple. I’ll reach out and request.

Same here, interested.

That would be awesome thank you !

interested as well, great find as always! :)

Interested in 2 if possible.

Would buy couple depends on the price

I'm very interested in this. Would buy one if still available.  :)

I'll be moving to China for work in late summer so I may be able to help later this year :) .

Love it, keep me posted plz!

Isn’t this just a Chinese Yuan debit card? Don’t you need a Chinese bank account to load it or am I mistaken.

I’m not looking to use it, I simply want it as a collectible.

I gotcha. I think the coolest part is the digital display of funds so I was thinking even as a collectible would be tight to have funds on it.

Bump - still in search of one of these cards ( I do not care if there is actually any digital yuan on the card or not, of course it would be great if there was ).

I'm still working on moving there later this year, visa approval is complicated due to COVID. I haven't forgotten about your request!

Bump

Haha, I still remember. The problem is, I can't get one myself yet. My bank won't allow me to use it without a Chinese National ID...for now. I know they were used at the Olympics, but I don't know how and if that was a special case or not.

I don't know what you're willing to share and what you're not, but are you saying that you'll be getting a Chinese National ID and once you do, then you'll be able to get one of these? 

Do you know if there's only one version of these cards being made?  Do they all have a name on them?

Would be awesome if you were able to talk someone in to selling theirs.. I will pay up :)   I appreciate you keeping this in mind still.

Oh I mean the ID number given to Chinese citizens, like a social security number in the U.S. I'm not a Chinese citizen and never will be, so there are a lot of things I can't do as a foreigner. I think they will eventually expand it to everyone but right now it's still kind of an experiment. I don't even know if there are physical cards. No one here uses physical cards for anything. Everything is done with apps on their phones and mini-apps through WeChat or Alipay. I've never seen a physical card used to pay anywhere besides a hotel. I want to ask about it, but it's complicated with the language barrier. Most Chinese nationals I've spoken to are completely perplexed when I mention the digital yuan or the e-cny. They have no idea what I'm talking about. In their minds money is already digital with WeChat and Alipay. I see the logo for it at some stores but it's very rare.

Also interested in a couple if you are able to get your hands on some in the future!

 Hi Ty...surprised that with your hunting skills you have not been able to get any! Usually you find the impossible to find!

  Keep me in mind of you come across any....all I ask for is one to add to my collection....will do the same should I come across any! 

   Goodluck!

Finally got my hands on them! I have an unopened set with your name on it ChiBitCTy. They are unloaded, though it appears possible to buy them loaded (50 RMB for an unloaded single, 250 RMB for an unloaded gift box of the five pictured, 750 RMB for a loaded gift box with 100 RMB on each card). The cards link to the e-CNY app on iOS and I assume Android. You tap via NFC to connect it to the app and then you need to load it from a Chinese bank account. I was able to load mine, but without a Chinese National ID, I have daily spending limits and load limits for an "anonymous" card.

Man so cool !!  DM sent. Will make a great addition to my collection! :)

concordeSST - are you able to get more of these?

Yes, I should be able to. I don't know if there are any purchase limits, but it appears to be easy to order more.

Edit: Actually, there is a limit. The maximum I can buy is ten sets, and it remembers previous purchases.

awesome - I would be interested in a set - what would be the cost to get one from you? will check back with you in the AM - on the way to bed atm.

thanks for responding!

I will need to see what it costs when I ship ChiBitCTy's as I've never tried to ship outbound from China yet, but it's likely around .002 BTC for an unloaded set if shipping is what I expect. I do have another set on the way, so I can reserve it for you.

@concordeSST Please reserve/get a set for me too. Sent you a DM, thank you!

Will do! I ordered the maximum I can order, so I'll have five more sets soon if anyone else is interested.

I'm interested, will reach out soon.

I’d also like a set as mentioned earlier in thread ✌🏼

Sound good. Will reserve for you!

thank you and .002 is great!

I’d be down for a set as well if you haven’t hit your limit yet!

Sure, I can reserve one for you and contact you for details once I have it in hand.

That leaves one remaining.

I'll take the last one.

Sounds good. I'll reserve it for you! DM me your country and I'll contact you when I have it in hand.

if cheaper - can ship any and all US ones to either me or minerjones and we can reship (most the guys here have items with me or minerjones as it is)

Yup, others have suggested the same. I think I will do that. I'll be in touch soon. Thank you for the offer!

I would like to have my cards sent to MoparMiningLLC.
I want to pay for shipping.
So there will be free shipping for those who ship to MoparMiningLLC.

Very generous! Thank you so much!

@ConcordeSST
a set is still available?
(I am available for delivery and then reshipping at discounted price - ITALY EU)

edit: thanks I have found a set. I am still available for reshipping as reported above!

Not at the moment, but still waiting on a response from one person. I'll let you know!

This is a really nice gesture from you & greatly appreciated! Thanks  :)

Agreed! Looks like everyone sent him merit for the gesture 💪🏼

These have arrived - will be reaching out to everyone shortly.
