we are working on own design both for the card and for the accompanying letter.
that said, merging bitcoin with tranditional banking infrastracture is not as straightforward as it may seem. Putting ANYTHING related to bitcoin on a debit card is still a bit of a grey area
personally I wouldn't buy a debit card that has anything printed that can relate to bitcoin.
here most people don't give a....i saw one lady 3-4 months ago, paid with prepaid american visa. i told this to the worker in our grocery store, it looks like they don't care. The worker wasn't aware about "prepaid visa" at all. So if i have "bitcoin" printed ill proudly show up in our stores. I mean 99% of people here will thing that its the next good looking bank card...
The card really looks good by the way
Can you take a photo of your card received from e-coin.io ?
Hide your details but i just want to see the design of it as you say that is different from the e-coin website.
@gosha@e-coin i think the high fee are the monthly 1$ sms fee and maybe the sell price of bitcoin.
Regarding my cards, i got 2 now. One is invalid, looks like exactly like the one in the first post.
The second one is "grey", my wife likes it, but i prefer the black one (but its invalid).
Anyway i'm happy that i finally got a valid card despite the fact that my order was for a black card.
@gosha@e-coin: Don't get me wrong. Actually i really like the idea behind your business. I'm planning to order another card in EUR and also to open an account with you for my wife.
Despite my problems with the cards and some fees (mainly because of my local currency), i really really appreciate what you does and i believe that your "project" is very innovative and has a bright future in front of it. Thank you
Just placed my order for the EUR car.
@gosha@e-coin: do you have something like email, skype, mobile phone, where i can directly communicate with you. You seems like a very nice guy and i want to use your services in the future, so it'll be good if we can stay in touch. Also i want to verify my account, and I'm wondering if my governmental issued ID (Identity card) is enough for verification. I can send you ID or Drivers license or Passport, which one is better?
Also about the proof of address, my address is written on the back side of my ID. I also got a bank statement. Most of my utility bills are on name of my landlord, because in Bulgaria when you rent a flat/an apartment you usually don't change the bills (water/electricity so on) partitions. Our mobile operators don't print your address on their receipts/invoices. So i'll appreciate your guidance on the topic.
Is ID - front and back side enough to verify both my identity and address?
Thanks.
P.S. Have around $79 (after the EUR card order) in my e-coin account. Tried to load my USD card with $70 - "Service unavailable - try again later". Tried with $50 - "Service unavailable - try again later".
Is the issue on your side? or i do something wrong. Maybe its because it's Sunday (aka time for maintenance and improvements for most Internet companies and providers)
