Topic: bitinstant paycard - page 9. (Read 26600 times)
I think you'd need to pay them to gen a vanity keypair. Otherwise, you leave them vulnerable to a double spend.
Where do I sign up? And for the hell of it, can we provide our own vanity keypairs?
I would LOVE a vanity keypair on my BitInstant card. OK.. I was on the fence till I saw this.. Vanity Kepairs would be awsome. (not just for the awsome novelty factor) but for simple usability/tracking of family/business finances.. Being able to see at a glance where money goes out from the family wallet would be nice. compare: "1cYtvxxxxx...." to "1Wifexxxxx" ..
Sigg.
As evidence that bitcoin is growing, I heard about this first from a non-bitcoiner.
And I want one of those first 1000 cards. Please-please-please!

I think I want some. Can I get a couple with different BTC addresses in a business name (all using same name), so I can use these for my employees and top up their cards individually?
I'm pretty sure the September accouncement won't be faster confirmation of transactions. Apart from the fact that I can't see how you'd do that without a hard fork, any protocol changes would have to be discussed and gain concensus - protocol changes aren't going to just come out of thin air.
Wow this is totally awesome, great work!
When can we start pre-ordering cards?
Also, will SEK (Swedish Kronor) be available?

Good news for Bitcoin adoption and ease of use. Lots of questions though that still need to be answered. Nevertheless I like the idea 
At some point though, when bitcoin goes mainstream, we should not be using this or any other payment method where banks are involved.
I've seen something which might not be that similar but useful as well > http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3UmynaPg8hw

Finally! This would be spectacular... where do we sign up?
OMG this is so awesome. Tyhank you guys, thank you so much. I love you.
This is great for bitcoin, and I would probably get one because it is cool. That said, it is hard for a 1-2% fee to compete with the 1-4.5% I can get back from using a credit card I pay in full every month. Even some debit cards offer a 1% or so reward. Perhaps when bitcoin exchange rates stabilize it would be possible to offer a card like this with 0 fee with revenue coming from the standard merchant fees.
Cant wait for an AUD one to come out
This. Or, what would be the possibility/cost of spending USD in an AUD store?I think the usual rate is 3% +

I would LOVE a vanity keypair on my BitInstant card. 
Notice that it says the card is owned by BitInstant. AFAICT, that means when you swipe it, the merchant is debiting BitInstant's pool account(s), and BI has a $1,000 limit before it gets denied, to prevent their accounts being emptied before more can be transferred in.

Very nice guys, looking forward to having AUD as an option 
Very cool. If anything I'd hope this would assist in more widely used BTC. That or at least more people coming into contact with Bitcoins in any conceptual manner and learning about them.
What would also be cool is to have a card without the address on it so nobody knows what it is when you cross borders. It would have a brain address.
