Hi, I'm interested in testing/getting the card, but I live in a country which is not on the list (Venezuela). Any idea why not and if it'll be solved anytime soon?
Thanks.
we will certainly aim at providing the service for every country at some point, although it is hard to say about Venezuela for the moment. The current card issuer bank does not allow us to ship cards there, so, it is a matter of finding an alternative banking partner.
Do you think there would be high potential demand for such card in Venezuela?
As a temporary solution, can only suggest ordering the card to your relatives' or friends' address in a country from the list and nearby
Sure, the reason for that is that we currently have 3 official and 1 unofficial exchange rates for our currency (and very strict currency controls and limitations in place), which makes inflation skyrocket, as we only have "access" to the worst exchange rate (black market). So, we keep looking for alternatives to safeguard our income, one of which is bitcoin (and fiat currency in general, other than our own.)
I can further explain this in detail if needed; suffice to say that a card such as this one would be highly welcome.
Also, about the site, I was trying to register and didn't get the account activation e-mail, even when clicking on the "Lost code" link. Is registration locked, by any chance?
