Kim Dotcom wants to create a Bitcoin credit card, would you want a Megacard?

[fcmatt]

Isnt it more likely kim is a media whore who is using bitcoin to keep his name in the nerd press?
He prob has ppl working fir him to do just that.

P.S. I could not get Shetab bank card, no one have the card or dump of magnetic tracks. Could someone donate expired Shetab card to me via mail or give specific format of the data on the card?

Presumably you want the actual data value from the cards? The format should be standard.

If this man doesnt help it, no one will

I wouldn't think that. He says a lot, but delivering... Some things, yes, but some are just too far fetched even for him to pull off. Paymium (bitcoin-central) was also doing this, no? They are a registered PSP, I would have more trust in them than Dotcom.

I can only guess that the Shetab is clone of Cirrus network and the data on card is similar to other banking cards. But not sure until I see it with my own eyes. If so, then Shetab is no more advantageous than any other existing network.

I have no idea why this Shetab card is supposed to be any different but if you haven't run across it already, this is a useful document http://www.phrack.org/issues.html?issue=37&id=6


Looking at the Shetab page on Wikipedia, it seems like it's more about an inter-bank network for accessing funds and probably doesn't affect the cards themselves. So I'm guessing they more than likely adhere to the standard but I wouldn't be willing to bet real money on it.
