Hi, I've been looking around for an answer and haven't looked well enough to find it yet. Maybe this might be the easiest way.

I'm looking at the Bitplastic website. They have a way to purchase funds for a visa debit card using bitcoin. Fees are kinda steep but nevertheless they have my interest right now.
Personally, frankly, one of the main reasons I do Bitcoin is the anonymity, which is lost as soon as you send it to a bank. This would skip that step.

At any rate, I'm wondering if anyone has used their website for transactions that do not involve the prepaid card - has anyone requested cash in the mail, or payment to Paypal, or an online virtual visa card, and if so, what is the pricing or is it worth my trust?

Here is the website:

bitplastic.com


Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, BitPlastic is a scam. Here in the forums I haven't read any single good review of them. You could try at your own risk.

An economy based on endless growth is unsustainable.

I've registered and looked through bitplastic.
It looks like they just copy/pasted most the code from eNumbered.com.
The whois for bitplastic.com vs enumbered.com does not fill me with confidence.
They used a different registrar for one.

Either it is the same company or a scam, either way I would go through enumbered as they have been around MUCH longer.

Going to enumbered.com gives me this:

Should I continue?

Should I continue?

That warning really just means that the security certificate isn't perfect.
The problem being the certificate is for enumbered.com yet the website auto forwards the user to www.enumbered.com which as far as Secure HTTP is concerned is a sub-domain of enumbered.com.

Completely safe to continue, as for putting money into enumbered, idk.
I registered for enumbered back in January 2013 and have never put any money in.

Here is the certificate details if you are interested:


The certificate details are pretty similar to bitcointalk's certificate.
The difference being bitcointalk's devs do not pointlessly forward you to www.bitcointalk.com

Thank you very much I appreciate this. Yeah, definitely a scam.
