I like Rob's rendition.

I wouldn't pay $5 for it though, no offense lol. Be cheaper to just laser print on card stock and laminate it.

Looks pretty cool. Maybe you could use the magstripe for storing bitcoin address (or privkey if you're crazy enough)

ANOTHER IDEA DESIGN 2:



Thoughts?
The first design is awesome. Is the magnetic strip going to actually serve any function? I suppose you could write the address on it but that would be rather redundant. I wish card writers weren't so expensive...that'd be a great place to put the private key.

I am interested in getting one of these for sure. I'll keep a look out.

Good work!

First one looks a whole lot better Smiley  When are you planning to send a few cards out for testing?

Looks great. I think if there is a black/silver version would make the card look much more premium-ish, you know how the bank gives you different status by the color of that card /wink

yes!  a bitcoin "black card"!

I think the second design would look better if the QR code were aligned with the squares, kinda like this (I suck at image editing, but I think you'll get the idea):

Well guys I'm still working hard to bring this card into fruition. 

I've stepped back and decided to give it my all and cut no corners.  Look out for updates here.

I promise it'll be worth the wait.

Looks sweet I could hand them out and definitely get some people interested in bitcoin
Design 1 Looks nicer but how goes the cost to print it versus version 2 Smiley

The print cost is the same for all of them.  Just so you know, these are not business cards, they are deposit cards.  They look like a credit card you would keep in your wallet.

Maybe I should also do a business card setup too..... Undecided

Nothing like here is my business card and hand them a Bitcoin Visa Cheesy
It's novel Smiley

Can you ship to EU?

Yes!  You'll have to cover a portion of the shipping though.  We can cover that soon.

They look neat. I prefer the first one and the second one the best, not so much the third one. I may actually order a few of these eventually.

Study the past, if you would divine the future.
i like the second one, it has a nice clean design to it, the other look too similar to banking/credit cards. better to look different!

I dig the first one a lot.  2nd seems a lil less detailed and rushed.  No offense of course, you're doing an awesome job.

Just got off the phone with card printer, the card proof will cost me $150 and take 15 days to produce. That's obviously cost-prohibitive and would take far too long.

They are sending me physical samples by mail of similar cards to review the quality. I should have them by late this week or early next week.

Upon proper review of these samples, I plan to start the signup period here and on reddit.

I would be interested in working with someone who is more established on bitcointalk.org to verify my trustworthiness by reviewing the physical sample with me (I'll mail it to you) and seeing my correspondence with this company. Please let me know your thoughts.

As always, I am available at 772-202-0252 or on Skyoe (Spacewaya).

I would be happy to accept a card as and "review" the quality etc. for the forum. Will pay shipping if necessary. From what I can tell they do look very nice.

Small suggestions:

Place the name slightly higher on the card, so that it does not look as non-centered.

Replace the "share this address..." With: "Card holder Bitcoin Address"

Generally make sure that all "art and text" is equally distanced/spaced from the outer edge of the card. Anything else makes it look less 'genuine'

Good luck, I think if made in high quality I would order 10+

FUTURE OPTION:

I would like to see the option of ordering the cards as "high quality business cards" allowing for reverse side logo placement and user information (Name, address, company, email etc)

Thanks.  Suggestions noted. I will pass the physical proof onto you once I receive it.  Let's hit the PMs for details.

Are you in the States?

Great idea and looks nice.  Just not sure it needs the instructions though ("share this address... ", etc) - the card holder knows what it's for.

Sounds reasonable.  I'll remove it.

I hope to have two more designs today or tomorrow.

I would be interested in up to 10. Pm me for combined shipping and price.

Cool.  I'm just gauging interest right now.  I hope to have two new designs up by tomorrow or Tuesday.

This is a good response.  Thanks guys.

Bitcoiners!

Behold the Bitcoin Deposit Card (BDC). 
This card will be the exact same quality (weight, size and cut) as a regular credit card. 

On the front, this card will display your Public Wallet Address along with whatever name you want.  On the back, there will be the associated QR code for someone to scan if they want to send you bitcoins. Even though the picture below has straight edges, the final card will have curved corners just like a credit card.  The name will be embossed (raised effect).  Unfortunately, I could not emboss the Bitcoin Address because the embosser does not have lowercase letters.


Because I have to order these cards in a large allotment, I will offer a 1-week signup period.  You will have to provide the name for the card, the bitcoin address to be displayed, a shipping address for me to send it, and payment for the card.  I want to charge .05BTC  and I will pay for first-class postage in the US.

I am getting two more designs of this card ready and I plan to design a smaller card keychain-friendly card.

Now I understand that my post count is low here on bitcointalk and you may not trust me, but you can find me on eBay (typicottis) and I can always be reached by phone at 772-202-0252.   

Let me know what you think about this.  I would like to hear your feedback before I start the signup process next week.

By the way, that's my actual name on the picture above and bitcoin address.  Feel free to send me any donations.  Grin
