This is really-really cool! It might even be the cheapest and fastest way for me (Bucharest/Romania) to get local currency from BTC. Some random ideas:
* this product is worth a dedicated website, IMHO.
* such a site should have a very clean and simple way of calculating recharge balance (I send 10 BTC, I get X USD on the card).
* teh killer feature would be, IMHO, if you could attach a Bitcoin address to each card, so I can recharge the card without ordering on the website. Also, I could give out this address to people and I would get cash or the card automagically.
And some questions:
* can the design be customized? (I'm thinking replace the WU logo and also print the Bitcoin address on the card).
* can the cards be anonymized? (I'm guessing no, but it's worth asking).
* can you get them in other currencies? (I know I'm asking too much for a RON card, but EUR would be better for most of the Europe).
Off to ordering I go
These are some very good Ideas, I have similar ones such as the "Dedicated website" coming in the future with multiple options of adding funds. However I have not thought of having dedicated Bitcoin addresses for each card to add funding, Thats a great idea. At the moment I've been calling multiple debit card services to see if there is an instant way of exchange conversions for example your btc is only converted/exchanged into USD only when you attempt to spend money this can also be a flaw since Bitcoin value does indeed change a lot so its kind of something I am(and a partner) are researching into at the moment.
Q]Can the design be customized?
A]No they can not be. This is another great idea which me and my partner have been researching
Q]Can the cards be anonymized?
A]Maybe... This is kind of on the fence because each card is required to have personal information in order for them to be valid for activation when you receive them in the mail your cards funds may be frozen by mastercard/westernunion if you sign up with fake details. I'm not sure what their policy is. All your paying me to do is sign up/register your card on your behalf and load it for you.
Q]Can you get them in other currencies?
A]Good questions I'll look out for euro re loadable debit cards in the future but as of this moment it looks like its strictly USD but Idk if a euro store is accepting mastercard it should accept the funds no matter the currency as it should convert them.
S]Off to ordering I go
A] I'll be looking out for your order, I'm constantly auditing the website because of the new updates so let me know if you have any troubles with it.
