201  Economy / Trading Discussion / Reloadable MasterCards! on: December 02, 2010, 12:59:33 AM
Hello all Bitcoiners!

If someone were to create a website to convert Bitcoins to Paxum/Payoneer they'd be a huge success overnight. I'm serious.

What is Paxum/Payoneer?

They are essentially replacements for the now defunct Epassporte. They have APIs that could enable an exchanger (you?) to have reloadable Mastercards mailed out (they handle all the mail for you) to a Bitcoiner and have those physical cards reloaded instantly at any time. Combine this with Mybitcoin, and you'd have a lean, mean, exchanging machine!

Imagine the repeat business? It would be 'off the hook'.

Paxum seems to be the new industry leader with Payoneer as a close 2nd. Both operate from favorable jurisdictions.

I suspect that Paxum is owned by the same people who used to run Epassporte, but I can't prove it.  Roll Eyes

I could build this myself and make a killing, but I'd like to put it out there. I don't want to be the largest or only exchanger. Smiley

Cheers!

I can't find an easy way to convert PSC to money, except for sites that do PSC -> PP like http://www.paysafecard2webmoney.com/paysafecard_en.html but I'm not sure these can be trusted... anyone has experience?

Try MoneyStream. They'll do PSC -> LR$ and I've used their service many times. Their English is bad (they're Russian), so be forewarned! lol

It's just that I am worried about crazy people running after bitcoiners.

Crazy people? Some would say that the people on this forum are the crazy ones. "Creating your own currency? Pfft! Yeah right! Only governments can do that!", etc... Tongue

Where are your servers located?

Edit: nm, I just read your site. Oh, I added you to Bitcoin Directory.

We have VISA but from my experience no gift cards, thus merchants my frown upon accepting a card that does not hold the owner's name. But I never tried a card with no name, only have my wife use the card in my name, so that might be completely different.

Hmm.. I'm not sure if I can get the cards encoded with a particular name on them or not. I'll have to talk to the bank.

You're kidding ?  Of course it would be nice.  Although I'm not sure I could use them in Europe.  But that would worth a try.

Was I kidding? Tongue

Hmm... I should be able to send them for the cost of a stamp/envelope by lettermail.

It should work wherever VISA is accepted.

Could I theoretically use this prepaid number in physical stores?

I might be able to get the $100 denominations as physical cards. I could mail them out as lettermail.

Any interest in this service?

Possible to get a custom amount done as I need 25.81 USD on a Visa card and I don't want to pay for 50 USD.

No, sorry.

Why didn't we think of contacting them before?

They have been contacted before. Check out their forum. Smiley

Thanks for your efforts; they only help. Cheesy

It should be called the "cancel your promises like we always do" deal or something.

Hahaha! I just spilt my coffee! Hahahahaha  Cheesy

First gay adult site to accept Bitcoins. (It has a 18+ warning page on it.)

Bitcoin Gay XXX - Amateur Gay Item Downloads! 100% Anonymous!

Edit: Before people complain about this and that let me make this clear: Bitcoin XXX and Bitcoin Gay XXX are more or less proof of concept sites. I'm attempting to prove to the adult industry that Bitcoins are useful to them. I am not running them for any other reason really.

Basically when a banker makes a loan, he does indeed creates money out of nothing but the promess from the borrower to repay this. 

I call it "legalized fraud".
214  Other / Off-topic / Re: Money as Debt on: November 29, 2010, 01:53:12 AM
That ignores the fact that I can walk away from my debts via bankruptcy.

As the credit card (and other general) debts increase the governments of the world make it harder and harder to file bankruptcy.

Also, (I may be wrong) I heard that you can only file bankruptcy in the USA once.

If you file bankruptcy where I live you become a 'financial leper'. No bank will loan you money for 7 years.

Before 1609 (IIRC, source: some video (I don't know whether it is true)), there was a law which _prohibited_ lending against interest. That is, the very thing which makes banks trillions used to be illegal.  

It is called usury, and practicing it was punishable by death in some places.
216  Other / Off-topic / Re: Money as Debt on: November 28, 2010, 10:51:56 PM
Yes.

Have you seen the sequel? "Money as Debt II"? It's even better, in my opinion.

I managed to refill again from some spares I had. I have to wait until the banks are open to add more.

All your cards are out of stock Sad

I am aware of that, thank you.

I am selling them as fast as I refill them at the moment.

Haha! I didn't mention the amount for a reason. The mystery man would have to supply that information to claim his "prize". Tongue

I wonder if the US Gov would go after domains like tor2web.com if everyone switched to Tor hidden services.
