A quick update on the Binance bitcoin card.
I went grocery shopping at City Gross and Ica Maxi this evening and the card worked just fine, I could plipp at both terminals, the text is, as expected, still displayed in English instead of Swedish. I withdrew 200 SEK at the local City Gross ATM, no problems at all, but more options to choose, first it displays the conversion rate and fees from EUR to SEK and asks for your approval, then it asks you to choose between going forward with or without conversion, I chose with conversion., it worked just fine. I then drove to a proper bank ATM and did the same thing, I got the same questions, but this time I chose without conversion. All text on the ATM:s where in English. When I got home I checked the amount in EUR that was withdrawn from my Binance account, and it was 19.78 EUR in both cases, so it obviously doesn't matter what you choose. I also stopped by Mcd and the local gas station again, In Mcd I could now plipp without problems, but the gas station still gives me "technical error", It's a Qstar by the way for any Swedes that might be curious.
I'm gonna go try the card on some other gas stations too and I'm also gonna see if I can fool the system and get cashback on cash withdrawal by doing it at checkout when I pay for my grocerys.
So far I'm pleased with the card.
To be continued.
Edited.
It's been a while since I did much conversion but last I recall, it tended to be that you got a better rate if you had your card do the conversion (if using a credit card) than the bank ATM because banks are bastards.

And also, when I write "blipp" I mean contactless payment, where you only put your card next to the terminal and it goes "blipp" and the transaction is done. It's called "blipping" in Sweden, I don't know what it's called in English.
afaik, there is no word, but we have a system where you gently touch the pad (no insertion of the chip). maybe it should be called 'bumping'. Yeah, that's what I mean, but you don't actually have to touch the pad, just be very close to it, and not all terminals have pads, some you just put the card close to the front. But they do all go "blipp" ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

maybe, but making a slight touch seems to somehow help, at least this has been my experience and that's what cashiers always suggest-to tap/bump it.

You will probably have this problem with several petrol stations. This is because the card is classed as a prepaid card rather than a debit card. I had a similar problem using the Revolut card when traveling through Europe. Some stations were fine and others weren’t. You can usually pay at the counter with it (after fuelling) but not at the pump (before fuelling) It's been a while since I did much conversion but last I recall, it tended to be that you got a better rate if you had your card do the conversion (if using a credit card) than the bank ATM because banks are bastards.
I completely agree with Richy here. I ALWAYS ignore the conversion rate offered and pay in local currency. The visa or mastercard rate offered by Revolut is far better and they don’t charge a high ‘non sterling’ fee. On larger transactions such as hotel bills, the difference can be quite substantial. You were lucky they were the same rate on this occasion, but maybe try a few more to be sure.

Binance bitcoin card update.
Just like Biro Bob wrote, I drove down to the Shell 24/7 station and at the pump i got "invalid card" but at the counter I could pay just fine. I then drove to OKQ8 unmanned station and it didn't work, on to Ingo unmanned and it didn't work there either. So I guess you can only use it for gas if you pay at the counter. I will try Circle K too later but that will be the last one.

I have downloaded a 1:56 scale model that I need in 1:87 what percent do i input in the slicer please.
I would assume it's 56/87 = 0.6437 or 64.37% ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fnj6ZOQI.png&t=665&c=_tBSuIpqfzos7A) Thanks Phil. No one seems to disagree so I take it that you are right.

JJG, with all due respect, I run mostly old PC hardware here. If I have a lowly 1900x1080 in one monitor? And you have ONE POST that fills it all?
Try the decaf, dude. Volume does not equal quality.
