Bitcoiners! Behold the Bitcoin Deposit Card (BDC). This card will be the exact same quality (weight, size and cut) as a regular credit card. On the front, this card will display your Public Wallet Address along with whatever name you want. On the back, there will be the associated QR code for someone to scan if they want to send you bitcoins. Even though the picture below has straight edges, the final card will have curved corners just like a credit card. The name will be embossed (raised effect). Unfortunately, I could not emboss the Bitcoin Address because the embosser does not have lowercase letters. Because I have to order these cards in a large allotment, I will offer a 1-week signup period. You will have to provide the name for the card, the bitcoin address to be displayed, a shipping address for me to send it, and payment for the card. I want to charge .05 BTC and I will pay for first-class postage in the US. I am getting two more designs of this card ready and I plan to design a smaller card keychain-friendly card. Now I understand that my post count is low here on bitcointalk and you may not trust me, but you can find me on eBay (typicottis) and I can always be reached by phone at 772-202-0252. Let me know what you think about this. I would like to hear your feedback before I start the signup process next week. By the way, that's my actual name on the picture above and bitcoin address. Feel free to send me any donations.

Great idea and looks nice. Just not sure it needs the instructions though ("share this address... ", etc) - the card holder knows what it's for.

+1 for this too. I think it's unnecessary.

Sounds reasonable. I'll remove it. I hope to have two more designs today or tomorrow.

I would be happy to accept a card as and "review" the quality etc. for the forum. Will pay shipping if necessary. From what I can tell they do look very nice.
Small suggestions:
Place the name slightly higher on the card, so that it does not look as non-centered.
Replace the "share this address..." With: "Card holder Bitcoin Address"
Generally make sure that all "art and text" is equally distanced/spaced from the outer edge of the card. Anything else makes it look less 'genuine'
Good luck, I think if made in high quality I would order 10+
FUTURE OPTION:
I would like to see the option of ordering the cards as "high quality business cards" allowing for reverse side logo placement and user information (Name, address, company, email etc)

Thanks. Suggestions noted. I will pass the physical proof onto you once I receive it. Let's hit the PMs for details. Are you in the States?

Just got off the phone with card printer, the card proof will cost me $150 and take 15 days to produce. That's obviously cost-prohibitive and would take far too long.
They are sending me physical samples by mail of similar cards to review the quality. I should have them by late this week or early next week.
Upon proper review of these samples, I plan to start the signup period here and on reddit.
I would be interested in working with someone who is more established on bitcointalk.org to verify my trustworthiness by reviewing the physical sample with me (I'll mail it to you) and seeing my correspondence with this company. Please let me know your thoughts.
As always, I am available at 772-202-0252 or on Skyoe (Spacewaya).

I dig the first one a lot. 2nd seems a lil less detailed and rushed. No offense of course, you're doing an awesome job.

i like the second one, it has a nice clean design to it, the other look too similar to banking/credit cards. better to look different!
