Interesting, you can provide more details?
Sure, the card is personal to you and in its purest form it is simply a more convenient way to accept bitcoins. You dont have to boot up your phone, enter in your long passphrase or submit your 2FAuth in order to accept bitcoin deposits. Basically, its a back up to your phone, or just a more convenient alternative. The bottom line is phones die, and now with the all of the functions batteries dont last very long. Well, that can be a problem if you want to do transactions in bitcoin. Even when I dont have my phone with me, someone can still hand me a dollar. This isnt the case when it comes to bitcoin. You have to have a way of accepting bitcoin even when you dont have your phone with you. This is where the ATM/Deposit card comes in.
The card also acts as a membership. We lack the development knowledge to do a coinkite POS feature, but it is a possibility in the future. The member services are pretty basic at this point. Depending on your membership level, the fees that coincide with the services will vary. For instance, all BLACK card members are offered free Escrow Services with $500 USD in insurance to assure the seller their coins are safe at all times. A lot of people obviously offer this in this forum. However, American Bitcoin Inc is obviously an officially registered business within the United States. Therefore, your options of recourse should anything go wrong, are much greater as well. In simplest terms, American Bitcoin is not only accountable to you, we are accountable to the US Justice Dept. That should help all buyers and sellers sleep just a little better at night. Then we also offer a snapcard feature, but without all the bells and whistles. You would have to submit the link to the item you wish to buy, and we would make sure everything goes smoothly...better rates than snapcard as well depending on your membership level. Then there is a chat, forum, you set up your own profile, charts, and a very large directory of all business that take bitcoin, gambling sites, bitcoin faucets, and we will have bitcoin give-away contests for fun etc etc...
Now this is the very beginning, so we only have about 35 paying members so far and most have splurged for the BLACK card. Which isnt bad at all considering we have only been taking pre-orders. The site is up, we have not disclosed the domain yet to members; but you can check it out http://theamericanbitcoincompany.com/
Now, Im changing this proof slightly but you can get the idea of what the card will look like. It will be printed on a lithograph printer so it will have the same professional detail as a standard credit card, as well as the embossed lettering and numbering. Below is the Gold, Silver, and Bronze sample of what my card will look like.
