Very nice. This definitely fills a needed niche. Now people may keep their money stored as bitcoins, yet still access the "legacy currencies" through VISA.  |

It will be better still once we can reload existing prepaid cards.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Hello all, I just increased the inventory and lowered the price. I'm running this service almost at cost to get it going. I'll likely raise the prices once I get some trade velocity happening. Get your cards while the pickin' is good! Cheers! The Madhatter |

Kudos to you for this. Two quick questions:
- Where are these issued, or more specifically, what charges will there be for using them outside the US$ realm, other than the exchange rate itself?
- What do we do to use the full credit, if for example I have $13 left and I want to buy a $14 piece of gum?

Hello, Those are good questions. I'll likely add them to my FAQ. I am the issuer. The banks I use are in Canada. Not to knock the USA or anything, but I think that having your funds outside of the USA is a good thing. Look to e-gold, Liberty Dollar, and GoldAge as examples. The banks typically charge a 2% spread on foreign exchange. Visa takes some, the bank takes some. This is typical of all credit cards. That's expensive gum. You'd have to buy something for $13 or less or make smaller purchase until the balance is depleted. The best deal is on the $100 VISA, currently. I am keeping the price artificially low on that one on purpose to pick up some Bitcoins for B4C. This is a limited time offer -- so act fast. (end of sales pitch). Cheers! The Madhatter |

* The Madhatter quickly edits the FAQ Changed: Who is the issuer? / Where are the banks located that handle these cards?Bitcoin2CC is the issuer. The banks are located in Canada. What currency are the cards denominated in?Due to banking regulations the cards must be denominated in Canadian Dollars. View the Canadian to US Dollar exchange rate here.How do I check the balance of my card? / How do I activate the card? / How do I set the name/address on the card for online/telephone use?Due to the fact that we use more than one bank these details are revealed after your purchase has been made. When do the cards expire?The $25 and $50 cards expire one year from the activation date. The $100 cards expire two years from the activation date. |

So, I could use these CCs to buy from Canadian websites and avoid the currency conversion?

Yes you can. Maybe if we all gang up on madhatter he will sell US ones too Or someone with a desire to buy mass coin at a discount to the market rate (which is what Madhatter is doing) could offer Madhatter some coin to help him set up a similar website for the US. It requires some US$ backing though. |

I think I may be able to set one up for us US ppl. I'm thinking I'd provide an actual card, though. I could email the numbers almost instantly, then send the card in the mail.
