I have seen this new project in reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/31qlwx/onebit_mastercard_paypass_integrated_bitcoin/

http://www.getonebit.com/


I think that a service like this would be the bitcoin revolution,but I am afraid that we never finish seeing the service working as it has already happened with previous similar projects

Thanks for the information. Excellent feature, if it is work. But there is no information about when it is available.

We have the Bit-X mastercard integrated Bitcoin already and it have started to be shipped to customers.

> Know your customer rules
> Integration with Mastercard

In the short term, this is tempting, as it would enable massive "use" of Bitcoin. But in the long term, it seems highly destructive to Bitcoin's principles. I'd rather pay at a terminal that works with vanilla Bitcoin and so is actually bypassing the traditional banking system (at least on the customer side).

HODLing for the longest time. Skippin fast right around the moon. On a rocketship straight to mars.
Up, up and away with my beautiful, my beautiful Bitcoin~

Bitcoin is like a large university project. You just go and try out everything you can without actually knowing what it is you want or what can prove to be useful at some point. This is one of the many ways we should go and try out.

While I see there might be a certain need for such a service, I must say that I am in Bitcoin to avoid dealing with PayPal and MasterCard and so on.

Right now I believe it is more important to continue bridging the gaps existing between Bitcoin and the regular financial systems. We need to establish Bitcoin in some sort and this can be achieved best by using symbiotic effects.

It will certainly help. Making it easier for people to spend their coins in so many stores worldwide is a fantastic thing.

If something like this really start to take off, it might put even more pressure on the price since everything gets converted to fiat.

If Onebit succeeds, you probably won't have to use an actual card to pay for stuff. The time for card shipping for Bitx is quite long though and they charge high fees. I would be interested to see how much onebit charges for fees.

OK...?

I'm sure it will be useful. And possibly help Bitcoin adoption. Doesn't mean I can't prefer something else. (And my worry is this might reduce the likelihood of that "something else" ever appearing.)

That's right. It may not be the best option, but until the best option arrives(every shop accepting bitcoin) this is a partial solution with which we can use our bitcoins to buy and pay our needs

If I read this and understand it they are saying that it is not a card, but it uses the MasterCard system to make payments to merchants who accept MasterCard PayPass?

I understand that it would be a mobile app that it would use nfc terminals that accept PayPass to pay with the mobile phone in bitcoin making the conversion bitcoin->fiat
