RE: BlackCoin virtual/real Visa and Mastercard
tl;dr this will never happen.
Preface: I'm not saying this to hurt BlackCoin. I believe in it, am invested in it, and put my company into it.
Content: That said, there's a lot of naivete going around here, from buyers who haven't been around the crypto community very long, and I think it needs to be set right. There is no point in people getting their expectations up about this.
This card will never exist. There have been a couple attempts since 2011 to do this with Bitcoin. The closest anyone got I'm pretty sure was Charlie Shrem. Visa/MC declined to give him permission after rounds of legal back and forth. At the time that was not V/MC policy because they had no policy on it. Now it is.
Visa and Mastercard have the ultimate say over whether a certain card will be issued, and they have a lot to lose from virtual currencies. They are not going to allow a direct route for withdrawal from crypto to fiat through an ATM. It's not going to happen.
I'm not saying this to burst anyone's bubble, I'm saying it so that a bubble will not form around this idea. Because those of us who've been transacting in crypto/fiat for a long time now understand that this is completely blocked by the card companies and is not going to get off the ground.
I completely appreciate what the OP is trying to do here and applaud his enthusiasm, but prior to a conversation with the card companies this is nothing.

C++ error line 373, which is probably os based problem not the program. So I'll save everything there as thats the unique part, much appreciated
A card sounds a big deal, good job

I think I got this same error the first time I started the BC wallet too, but closing it and reopening it and I think the error went away. Do you continue to get it even after the first time you launched it? I should include my experience was with the original client and the specific issue I am describing may not still exist or many have been specific to me. Not sure. Good luck!
Blackcoin - Holy F*CKING God!

The only coin with +change and 16%.
Even if there is a possibility this only a pump. That's still amazing.

That card sounds awesome. I'm pretty glad I'm "mining" BC right now. 
Sucking the value away from shitcoins in the market so we can use that value in the real world on a Black debit card sounds good to me!

Wow...that is amazing. I'm totally grabbing one too.

4.) Since my company does not own BlackCoin or the rights to the logo, I will definitely have to coordinate with rat4 to make this happen. But I do think this will be an issue.
I'm sure we can work out a deal on the logo
BlackCoin Card Update
After a very productive phone call I can happily say we have jumped over the first hurdle. I will go over the key details and unfortunately there are a few details that are a bit disappointing.
1.) To have any chance of Visa/Mastercard approving this card program we will have to use very specific wording. It will not be acredit card but a rewards card (Visa/Mastercard debit card) that can be redeemed with reward points (BlackCoins). So users will still use their BlackCoins to get the cards, and they can still spend them just like any other credit card, we just wont be calling it a credit card.
2.) There are two main physical types of cards both with pros and cons.
A: A non re-loadable card you can load any amount from $5 - $900. All you will have to provide is your name and address, no other info is required. Once the card is depleted/expired you throw it away.
B: A re-loadable card you can load any amount from $5 - $3000+. You will have to provide your name, address, and social security number. The social security number is mandated by law and there is no way around it. This card is only available to United States customers.
I am selecting option A for obvious reason. No one especially me would give any new service my social security number just to get a re-loadable debit card. The option to re-load funds is great, but I think trust will have to be establish first before being able to entertain that option.
3.) As I pointed out in a previous post, the customer has to be located in the United States or Canadian to receive the card, but the card can be used anywhere in the world. So for our friends overseas you can have the card mailed to a relative/friend in the United States/Canada, and then have them mail you the card.
4.) Since my company does not own BlackCoin or the rights to the logo, I will definitely have to coordinate with rat4 to make this happen. But I do think this will be an issue.
5.) If we get approved this can be up and running in less than 60 days. I will know sometime early next week if Visa/Mastercard will even consider this before I officially file an application. After I file an application the approval process is quick since I have all the required paperwork.
Once this is up and running for several months I will revisit re-loadable cards, virtual card numbers, and expanding overseas.

I eagerly away the response on this. I'm totally into grabbing one, even for no other reason just to help support that cause because it's just too awesome.
WOW too!

I cant run the wallet at the moment as it crashes. So Im just wondering which files I need to transfer it elsewhere, on windows
the files in: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Blackcoin subbing in your windows account for %username%
Do you get an error message when the client starts? If so, it may be better to start with a clean folder and ONLY keep your wallet.dat file to see if that helps resolve the issue. Also, make sure you have the latest wallet running.
Please be sure you have backed up your wallet.dat file before trying to move any other files around or removing them!

Why another exchange?
We are not your usual hobby programmer hiring some people to make a "secure" exchange. We are a company of trained professionals, based in Austria.
We guarantee a level of security a single individual would not be able to.
But yet, there are various reasons why we focused our resources on this crypto exchange:
- Security!*
- The design is simple, not dark and also not too colorful. It was made to provide a neutral environment for maximum usability.
- Multiple order options including (but not limited to): Fill-or-Kill, Immediate-or-Cancel and Iceberg - multiple order types can be applied!
- Market and Limit orders (as you may know from Forex)
- A variety of Charts to reduce the time required for monitoring and watching to a bare minimum.
- Charts scale with the browser window-size for maximum screen-efficiency and maintaing a balanced layout.
- No personal data is being logged, because to us your privacy is as important as your security.
- The project is based on highly scalable software and frameworks, to ensure the qualtiy of service even with increasing user counts.

* The main focus of this service is the provided security. A lot of effort went into planing and testing the application, to guarantee the much-needed security. All communications between you and the servers are encrypted.
A unique but yet fast withdrawal process secures your assets way more efficient than email confirmations, making this technique obsolete.

Seems to be a solid base.
What the fuck was that just now, seriously? I watched the price like 4 hours and nothing than bam 10 seconds and it's 6900.
and right back down thanks to people in a hurry to sale quick. To bad they just can wait turns and sale higher instead of undercutting each other.
