You mean like this?

https://bit-pay.com/cards.html

I've got one on my keyring too.  credit-card durability plastic.  If you send me money I get a text message alert.  depending on my profile settings, the bitcoins can be forwarded to my wallet of choice, or cashed out and deposited into my bank account.

Best of all - if I lose this (or post it on the internet) the only thing someone can do - is give me money!



the front side is prettier





Is that a set of keys to a Porsche? business must be booming Wink

Then the address of the card is really yours and depends of you that forwarded correctly to the client?

My deposit keychain, UV resistant and waterproof Wink


EDIT:
Also I receive a sms when it receives payments  Grin (blockchain notifications+mail2sms)

EDIT:
But I haven't a Porsche XD

The challenge as I see it is to be able to make them all unique cheap as opposed to mass-production of identical things.
Any experts in the field?

How cheap do you need them to be?  A digital card printer can print black resin (virtually indestructible) on PVC card for about $0.15 ea.

I'm not sure if that's what the OP had in mind. I'd think something more bling would be cool.

Actually gave me a cool idea myself  Tongue

Look in Thailand or China. ^^

But wouldn't have the user to submit his address first?

Hey,

Is it possible to organize a very cheap and very massive production of plastic QR-code tags that users could carry as real life key-chain dongles, wallet cards and even tucking them to real life objects to sell or donate.

That would be massive invasion move into RL. After all everyone is expected to use bitcoin with their smartphone and all wallet apps do scan QR-codes.

The QR-code tag ideally should be tough and durable. Black and White could be not a paint, but (laser?) etching or dipping to show other color layer in two layered plastic (have no idea how expensive that is).

The challenge as I see it is to be able to make them all unique cheap as opposed to mass-production of identical things.

Any experts in the field?
