Look up "mark of the beast" to know why needing a "chip" to exist in a society is a bad idea...
You believe that?
I believe giving any entity the ability to cancel your money would lead to bad things yes Smiley
I meant the beast part, but yeah.
It doesn't matter whether you believe the Revelation of Saint John the Divine (personally I think Saint John was burning the wrong kind of incense when he had that particular revelation, if you know what I mean Wink), what matters is that a huge number of people do believe it, and that alone is reason enough not to fulfil any of the prophesies contained therein.

There is a strong need, especially for decentralized exchanges, to have a widely accepted, centrally issued, fiat-pegged form of electronic money that has 100% irreversible transactions.

MtGox codes are nice and all, but having something that you can then just take to your bank (or buy there) and get some cash or a deposit in your bank account without bigger troubles or fees is worth quite a lot. After all, a lot of people will want to buy bitcoins with fiat money, right? Using MintChips as "digital cash" could be the solution to that problem.

I only looked through those mentioning Bitcoin of which I didn't think that many were negative or clueless and I also refuted a few negative ones.

Yeah thank goodness you posted there, thanks Hazek Wink

MintChip is the best thing to happen to cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is MintChip on atomic-rocket-powered-steroids.
