Topic: Is there interest for bitcoin gift cards? - page 3. (Read 522 times)
...I'm not sure what you mean OP. If you take Bitcoin and put the private key on a magnetic strip, where are you supposed to be able to spend that? Or is this meant to use the lightning network once it's fully functional and ready to go? I'm all for a Bitcoin pre-paid debit card dealio, but it's harder to do than it sounds.
If I make a start up company for bitcoin gift cards, do you guys think there is enough interest for it?
I have a friend working on a nice design for the card, probably will include multiple designs to fit all customer's occasions (x-mas, birthday, daily gift, promo event, etc.), and I'm working on the technical part to make it require absolutely no trust between us (the company) and the buyers. It should be a nice way to give a gift to your family and friend, regardless if they're still getting into crypto, or already are working with it.
I do have some nice use cases that I can use for marketing later, but I'm a bit concerned about the start point.
Therefore, I'm asking you all guys, if there is such a thing (for BTC or whatever other crypto currency), would you guys be interested in buying/using it? and why?
Thanks in advance for you all.

I recently gifted some ether to my relatives in Christmas. I just printed a few paper wallets, transferred some ether and gave them. If you make a product with a nice design and more targeted to seasonal gifts I think you can succeed.
Now, be aware that security is a big issue here, so the process to produce these items must ensure that the private keys are not compromised at any moment. That can make the whole thing a bit more complex, but I encourage you to go ahead with the project!
Yes, I think it would be a very good idea because it could be used offline without the need of Internet connection, not only to make gift, but I think even to buy stuff offline.
I think you should hide its private key, like scratch off tickets of lotteries and similars. Then, if someone wanna claim the amount of cryptocoins, it will be enough to scrape it and uncover the key.

Here are some questions that we'd like you to answer in order to help us better shape the service:
1- Do you prefer a preset amount for each card? or would you like to charge it up to your liking?
2- Would you prefer a complete online order (even if it costs you slight privacy? specially when paying non-crypto like PP) or would you prefer to complete the deal at a shop with cash in hand and no personal info required?
3- If you answered 2 with completing at a shop, would you consider being a local distributor? why? and what would you expect in return?
4- Would you plan on buying larger quantities? continuous supply? or you just buy couple cards on special occasions and forget the service for the rest of the year? as this can affect the way to get local distributor.
5- Would you trust me/us/company to have the private keys in order to make things a bit easier at your end? or would you prefer spending extra couple minutes at your end to complete the deal without me/us/company having any way of touching the money in the card? note that this choice will affect the ability to recover the funds in case the card is lost, at the expense of storing some of your personal info, so this isn't for everyone.
6- Do you have expected shape/size/dimensions for the card? it might end up a bit larger than normal cards, but will make sure the space is well used.
7- What special occasions would you like to have the cards for? I'm not that cheerful person who remembers all occasions, the ones I have in mind right now are birthdays, x-mas and new year, not sure if you'd give bitcoin in valentine (there are more suitable coins for that Wink Wink)
