Hello Everyone. This is an invitation to all the Altcoin Developers. Currently we have integrated 10 coins into Nuovocard. We would like to add more coins to our network. If you think that your coin will add value to Nuovocard and its members, please pm me and we can discuss.

Requirements:-
1. It must be listed on HitBTC or Bter. (If not, InstaConvert Feature wont be activated for your currency)
2. It must have a daemon client or a http client compatible with Ubuntu.

Thanks.

Please let me know as we have some testnet coins that we dont require anymore otherwise tomorrow we would be disposing the wallets.

DRK : 3000
NMC : 47
PPC : 199106
LTC : 607

Thanks.

I was wondering what do you guys think is the best platform to raise funds if someone wants to raise funds from within the community without involving a VC?

Hello everyone. Just wanted to inform everyone that we have launched the Nuovocard Platform in Demo mode until 10th of this Month. Thus, we would like to invite everyone to test the platform with testnet coins instead of real coins. To signup, please visit https://www.nuovocard.com/non-verified-signup/

Also, we have integrated 2 features into the platform i.e. InstaFreeze and InstaConvert.

InstaFreeze allows merchants to accept Bitcoins and then instantly freezes the value against Fiat using a partner exchange. Currently, Coinsetter and Itbit are integrated for this featuring offering currencies USD, EUR and SGD.

InstaConvert allows cardholders to pay in altcoins to a merchant who only accepts Bitcoins by converting their Altcoins into Bitcoins instantly. Thus, the altcoin users can convert as per their demand and removes the hassle of using an exchange. Moreover they will get to use their Altcoins at all Nuovocard Merchants. Currently HitBTC is integrated.

Please see an introductory video for the Insta Features at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eJ0aQrn5Sg&list=UUl4HMJwM4rf2doBG0QxTZkg

All comments and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

[Demo Testers :]

Hello everyone. We would like to invite Demo Testers and Hackers/Security Experts to Test our Complete Platform for Bugs and Security Lapses. All currencies are in TESTNET Mode. The total reward given out will be capped at 10 BTC's and this offer will end. Also, the testnet platform for testing will only be offered until 10th December, 2014. After this, all the rewards mentioned below will expire as we plan to launch the Platform on 14th December, 2014.

Demo Testers : We are offering a reward of 0.02 BTC to 0.10 BTC depending on the severity of the Bug Found. For example, Spelling mistakes found will carry 0.02 BTC reward where as if you found a way to generate error in our server and disrupt our service, we will offer 0.10 BTC. Exception to this would be if you are able to take your account into negative, we will reward you with 0.5 BTC.

Security Experts / Hackers : We would again invite all the people who were part of the Hacking Challenge that we posted earlier but this time, we would like you test our complete platform for any Security Issue. Your AIM is to either steal the Testnet Bitcoins/Altcoins from our Server or to take your account balance into negative. The reward will vary from 0.5 BTC to 4 BTC's per bug depending on the severity of the BUG. For Example, if you are able to take your balance to negative due to a minor bug in our platform, you will get 0.5 BTC reward but if you are able to hack into any of our servers, you will get 4 BTC's. Again, dont try to hack www.nuovocard.com server as that server is not connected to rest of the infrastructure and will not help you in claiming any reward.  Also, you must disclose to us the exact steps you took and we must be able to replicate the situation.

NOTE : WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU GET INTO TROUBLE DUE TO YOUR LOCAL LAWS. WE GUARANTEE THAT WE HAVE GIVEN YOU COMPLETE AUTHORITY TO HACK THE PLATFORM EXCEPT THE WEBSERVER i.e. www.nuovocard.com.

[Ability to change withdrawal address from the one that they put in during signup?]

Hello Everyone,

We are looking for some advice. As you might have heard about Nuovocard, we would like to know your opinion on whether we should offer this feature or not.

Feature in Question:Ability to change withdrawal address from the one that they put in during signup?

Background : Nuovocard is primarily going to accessible using emails.

Scenario 1 :
The card holder can only pay at a merchant and merchants need to complete KYC. Thus, if there is any fraud, the card holder knows exactly where to go. If he/she needs to withdraw, it can only go to the withdrawel address they put in during signup. In case they loose theirwallet(whose address it is), they need to either spend it or sign up a for a new account, provide kyc and then spend it at their new account.

Scenario 2 :
Now if we let the card holder could change withdrawal addresses, they can withdraw to any address but so can any hacker in the unlikely event the user has not secured their email properly.

Please reply here and either put your paypal ID here or pm me. If you want I can send it to one person and they can distribute it using BTC. Maximum 100 entries. Paid only for constructive posts that help us and take this issue forward.

Thanks Everyone.

UPDATE :-

SCENARIO 3

You want to Change your Withdrawal Address ---> Do you have access to your Old Withdrawal Address---->

YES -----> Sign a Phrase with Your Old Withdrawal Address and the New One and Send us an email and if checks, Your Withdrawal Address is Changed.

NO ------> You cant withdraw the funds but only spend them. So either go and spend at a Merchant or Signup for a new Account, provide KYC, and spend in your own Account.

Now regarding the email issue as Gitju points, we will make it mandatory to use a Gmail/Outlook/etc email as their Primary Email because they will have SSL Enforced.

Also, if you loose access to your primary email for any reason, you have to give the Secret Phrase which you gave upon Signup and your money gets refunded to the last withdrawal address on file.

IF YOU LOOSE ACCESS TO BOTH PRIMARY EMAIL AND YOUR WALLET AND YOU DONT HAVE KYC ON FILE, YOUR ACCOUNT REMAINS INACTIVE FOREVER OR UNTIL YOU MAKE A TRANSACTION USING THE MAGNETIC CARD AS THAT WILL STILL WORK WITHOUT OTP. OTHERWISE YOU ARE BASICALLY OUT OF ALL OPTIONS.

Hello everyone. We are looking into choosing the First Altcoin to be a part of currencies usable in our product offering. I was wondering if you guys can guide me to the right place. We need statistics on the number of wallets/users per alt coin. Please help if possible.

Thanks.

Announcing Nuovocard - Bitcoin Point of Sale and Debit Card(Full Launch in September,2014)

Official Press Release:-

NuovoCard International, announces a ground breaking Bitcoin Point of Sale (POS) solution to trade, buy and sell using a debit card. The Nuovocard is a dual purpose combination of a magnetic card which also contains a QR code. This renders the user convenience of either swiping or scanning across any android or IOS phone/tablet to make Bitcoin payments. Being a magnetic card, the Nuovocard is the first of its kind offline solution, which doesn’t require the card holder to have any kind of internet access in order to pay in Bitcoins. The ease of swiping a Nuovocard to pay in, or buy and sell Bitcoins promises to be a quick hassle free solution which won’t clog queues at cash counters. What adds to the swiftness is that, the system ensures immediate conversions & payouts to retailers with support from local exchanges world over, ridding the retailers of the worries of susceptibility to the fluctuating Bitcoin market value at very competitive transaction charges.

NuovoCard International’s official launch to the public is targeted for the end of September 2014. Meanwhile, Neha says that their Sales team are building momentum to truly make bitcoin debit card global and pervade all retail businesses. She says, “The propagation of a revolutionary Bitcoin POS system like NuovoCard is imperative. For this we need all hands on deck. Hence we are sending out a loud beckon and call inviting Bitcoin Exchanges throughout the world to partner with us. This will ensure instant conversions, thereby leaving more and more happy and satisfied retailers. This can only mean more & more businesses converting to transacting in Bitcoins. A symbiotic relationship between NuovoCard and popular Bitcoin exchanges will only in turn lead to an exponential growth in digital currency users.”

The development team at NuovoCard informs us that the platform is extremely secure and revolutionary. The server is completely locked and all transactions will happen via Gmail APIs .Moreover, all transactions will occur over secure SSL connections and the data will be AES encrypted. Security and safeguarding customer’s transactions seems to be the pivot of focus of the NuovoCard system design.

The NuovoCard app for retailers will be available upon launch at the Google/Apple store or their website. The users will be able to initially signup and receive an email containing a printable QR-card to transact for free till they order and receive the magnetic card. The signup process is also primarily anonymous for cardholders, keeping true to essence of digital currencies. So, it looks like in this wave of the adoption of digital currencies, NuovoCard has removed all obstacles for it’s prospective users. It will be apt to use their tagline as it seems that there is nothing stopping people from “carrying the power of Bitcoins in their back pockets.”

Please feel free to ask any questions and visit our website for more details. At this point we would like to Invite the Local Bitcoin Exchanges from all over the world to partner with us to provide an instant conversion of Bitcoin to Fiat for Retailers. We would also like to invite people to signup as Promoters as they will play an integral part in getting their local retailers signed up to accept Bitcoins.

Thanks.
