MintChip getting a lot of attention - favorable attention which is annoying.

It also got a big post on ZH: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-%E2%80%9Cdigital-future%E2%80%9D-just-another-phrase-keeping-track-serfs

No mention of Bitcoin but a few people mentioned it in the comments.

So much ignorance in the comments... my goodness. What did I expect though, right? :)

I only looked through those mentioning Bitcoin of which I didn't think that many were negative or clueless and I also refuted a few negative ones.

Yeah thank goodness you posted there, thanks Hazek ;)

MintChip is the best thing to happen to cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is MintChip on atomic-rocket-powered-steroids.

No problem, I accept tips at the address in my signature  ;D 8)

Needing a "chip" to exist in a society is a bad idea...

You believe that?

There is a strong need, especially for decentralized exchanges, to have a widely accepted, centrally issued, fiat-pegged form of electronic money that has 100% irreversible transactions.

MtGox codes are nice and all, but having something that you can then just take to your bank (or buy there) and get some cash or a deposit in your bank account without bigger troubles or fees is worth quite a lot. After all, a lot of people will want to buy bitcoins with fiat money, right? Using MintChips as "digital cash" could be the solution to that problem.

I believe giving any entity the ability to cancel your money would lead to bad things yes :)

I meant the beast part, but yeah.

It doesn't matter whether you believe the Revelation of Saint John the Divine (personally I think Saint John was burning the wrong kind of incense when he had that particular revelation, if you know what I mean ;)), what matters is that a huge number of people do believe it, and that alone is reason enough not to fulfil any of the prophesies contained therein.
