Title: Private key QR redemption
Post by: cbeast on November 10, 2011, 03:43:57 AM
I'm looking for an app or web service that will allow a smartphone to scan the public/private key pair and transfer the bitcoin balance (or portion) to allow online spending. This has to be simple enough for average smartphone users to use.

Maybe I'm not articulating this well. Is there anyone working on a smartphone website or app that simply asks to scan a QR code containing Bitcoin? I would like to be able to give someone a scratch-off card with bitcoin value that they can easily spend online to buy things like debit cards and gifts.

MtGox lets you redeem private keys directly into your account there.

I don't think it exists, yet.
