wow this thing looks so cool, and it works with bitcoins? JOY! Cheesy

http://www.bitcoincard.org

what do you guys think, is this the killer app that will bring about the bitcoin revolution?

Yeah,.. I dont really like it. I dont like to data mining possible which is mentioned in the video, I dont understand how it can be superior to all the functionalities a smart phone offers, only a couple of mms thicker and I think its no use if you are outside of city boundaries, it doesnt even work between towns or suburbs, only in the city center.

If it would cost only 50$ or less, it could be an alternative to a smart phone, although I doubt it. It doesnt come with voice transmission and longlevity of batteries is doubtful, especially during cloudy days.

I short, nice try but I dont think so.

data mining can be prevented by putting the device in an enclosure made of thinfoil

or not carrying it with you while shopping may help

Ah yeah, thats why I pay for stuff in Bitcoin with it. . . !? NO.

Guys, you're asking all the wrong questions.

Who cares if Charlie said it's real. Who cares if it is real.

The questions you should be asking are:

3 people with this and no one with the internet != Bitcoin.

As the inventor of a similar yet less overly-hyped device, I say it doesn't have a chance in a real world but it's an AWESOME technology just the same and I applaud the show, but I don't see it becoming anything more than that honestly.

Which ISM band has a lot to do with how much juice it needs.. I would assume 2.4, but the lower the better..

If it's a dash7 device, it uses 433 mhz.

Oh, thanks.. was curious, that could easily be feasible then, 433 travels well.. lower than I expected, but hoped for..

The questions you should be asking are:

If it's real, why isn't anyone talking about the functionality?
Why isn't Charlie beaming about the bitcoin sending functionality?
Why isn't anyone bothering to talk about how ridiculous the ISM band is?
Why does anyone believe that it will have enough energy to not need a charge?
Why does anyone believe that it would have enough energy to use that radioband constantly and not need a charge?
At what point does it connect to the blockchain and actually update?
Does anyone actually believe that just because it doesn't allow software and uses an ad-hoc network, that requiring an additional custom node to connect it to the internet makes any sense at all?
At what point does it connect to the blockchain and actually update?
At what point does it connect to the blockchain and actually update?
And most importantly, at what point does it connect to the blockchain and actually update?

It doesn't hold a blockchain, so it doesn't actually have to update in that manner. Yes, it would require some kind of supporting infrastructure, such as a specialized internet router that acts as a Stratum server.

Yankee said its real, and he has held it in his hands...

I take Yankee on his word...

Why dont they put up a real picture to dispel the non believers like me?

Gamer has a point, although Yankee is highly trust worthy, I have no idea why he would ruin his reputation by lying to us.

we should have a lot more info soon, Yankee is meting with them at the end of the month.

I'm only worried about the price, cuz for their idea to work a lot of people need to use it

If that's a flying car then what you'll get when you ask for that card is a mobile phone.

You argument is stupid.

And my time is too valuable to waste on your pathetic mission to prove your right.

I guess all your cars you own look like this still, right ?

The solar panel, can be thinner than a piece of paper..

The screen same thing..

The touch membrane on a screen.. thinner than paper..

The "battery" would be a capacitor, these come in ALL shapes, thickness's and sizes..

Actually, there is a new type of capacitive touch screen that is actually a solar panel itself, so that you can let your phone charge by simply placing it on the table face up and letting the screen time out.

Yes! finally someone on top of the PV and screen tech!
