Sorry, I do not understand this. Why is this better than a smartphone? A clumsy little card? Why?
you dont get a bill every month you're anonymous when using it ... |

I don't see the point, there could never be enough to link them together. Even if everyone on earth had one. It would need to connect to something besides peers, like smart phones do. We already have those.. If they were all in range of each other, how could they communicate with the block chain? Even if it worked as promised. I would be impressed if one person in every 500 miles bought one. Let alone 300 meters.
"trusted" gateway nodes allow it to connect to the blockchain granted the idea is whimsical, but its has a COOL factor. |

Ok, I can't watch the video right now. Can someone give me a quick summary of what the card does?
(I hate it when companies release promotional videos without also explaining the content of the video in text form)
sure, - digital signature keys are created and stored inside the card, and never leave it;
- the card does not have an operating system or the ability to download additional software, which protects the card from attacks by viruses;
- the exchange protocol with the outside world is simple and protected by encryption;
- if the wallet is lost, the money is also lost; - the card is completely anonymous;
- the card has unmatched energy efficiency, and does not need to be charged;
- the card has unprecedented processing power for an ordinary smart card;
- the cards communicate using their own radio protocol, and do not require any communications infrastructure.
In essence, Bitcoincards are Bitcoin clients and support the following operations:
- creation of an electronic wallet (addresses);
- receipt of coins from Bitcoin clients;
- transfer of coins to Bitcoin clients;
- transfer of coins from card to card (bypassing the Bitcoin system during transfer, but with subsequent confirmation in the system).

Yankee said its real, and he has held it in his hands...
I take Yankee on his word...
Why dont they put up a real picture to dispel the non believers like me? Gamer has a point, although Yankee is highly trust worthy, I have no idea why he would ruin his reputation by lying to us. we should have a lot more info soon, Yankee is meting with them at the end of the month. I'm only worried about the price, cuz for their idea to work a lot of people need to use it |

I'm wondering how this system can prevent spam. What's preventing someone from DDoSing the network with messages?
the possibility of an ass kicking? He's jamming the com. GET HIM! lmao |

whoa!! i couldn't even have dreamed of a cooler device!!
if it transmits wirelessly it'll probably get hacked pretty darn quick, but i guess if this card is advanced enough to change the firmware that could be fixed..
Well yeah, don't get excited too quickly. Because to me, that technology seems vaporware - someone who doesn't really understand how to build technology has gotten couple of really cool ideas, and has made this video. And now he/she is looking for funding. It is all good, but the card is _very_ unrealistic to me. Yankee (BitInstant) says its for real A few Bitcoiners and I are meeting the guys behing BitcoinCard in Europe at the end of the month to talk about US Distribution. Will keep you all updated! are you saying this card is for real? sounds like something out of science fiction movie! Oh its for real! I was playing around with it at Future of Money Summit on Monday. The dudes are super cool and LOVE BITCOIN. Here is his twitter https://twitter.com/#!/shurakuzmin |

i'll wager you 5 btc that we'll test the resistance at $5.50 before we see $4.90 again
I will gladly take this bet up. I bet 5 BTC that 4.9 will be hit before 5.5. Do we have a deal?  wait a min it has to go up 40cent VS go down 20Cent the odds should be 2:1 |
