Topic: Will you be a bitcoincard re-transmitters? - page 2. (Read 4751 times)
Sure, why not to re-transmit, after all it will be the future of new free of charge internet and bitcoin card is just a pioneer.
but the requirement for the entire world to build infrastructure around it instead of using what's already there is not only lazy, it's downright unimaginative and asinine.
I guess that's what many would say about Bitcoin vs. the traditional banking system. I'm sure Satoshi was just too lazy to open up a Paypal account 
may i use this in my sig?
best bitcoin cite ever

What? Why? Who should pay you for running a gateway?
My understanding is that merchants should provide gateway for their customers.
I see no reason why you should be payed for credit card POS terminal or bitcoincard GW.
I was thinking about providing the gateway myself, but area I live in is not worth it...

I agree if they only sell the cards via buying gateway nodes at first that should help early adoption. If they could sell each gateway node with five cards for <=$10 delivered that would really help early adoption. Also if they could do a deal that physical bitcoin merchants could give them out free or the change from a purchase on a free card that would help adoption two.

How much will I be paid for the traffic going over my node?
The same amount you get paid for relaying bitcoin transactions.

The cost of the transmitters should be pretty inexpensive and it would be good to include one with every card. A merchant would buy a card and have a transmitter for their store. The early buyers will really need a transmitter to do anything at all anyhow.
The cost of rice is inexpensive and you don't see anyone buying it to save the poor and starving.
Convenience is key. No one wants to buy repeaters to help nerds except other nerds..

Shouldn't this thread be on the "Project Development" board?
Agree. Some people will get interested after reading the article, but majority will be scared to use BTC after reading it.
From the page: http://bitcoincard.org/movement.php
"If Bitcoin succeeds, it is likely that PayPal and Western Union would be removed from the marketplace. The Federal Reserve (and every central bank) would be made redundant. "Disruptive technology" is thus an understatement. "
Remove this, it will probably not happen in 30-40 years anyway if ever. Its just unnecessary to create enemies, and people are afraid of using technology that threatens the society the are used to and believe, works.

I'd argue that a decentralized mesh network with cheap solar power nodes that fit in your wallet is also inherently different from all other traditional networking systems.
True that. Unfortunately there are way too many inconsistencies in their marketing video itself and reality so we can only go on what they say.- No recharge required as it works on solar -- so how well does this device function at night? In Alaska during the 30 day long nights?
- Doesn't rely on supporting infrastructure -- those are their words buddy, not mine. Talk to them about why they claim that. All I know is, ad-hoc doesn't work for the blockchain without a gateway, and people don't buy gateways without those gateways being useful for the owner as well, and a non-standard frequency used only for that device is not enough incentive for most people. Again, "Good luck with that".
The publicly available information is probably too sparse to judge them just yet. From what I can tell it definitely looks interesting and in a few days we'll know more. Calling them asinine is just as premature as pre-ordering a thousand cards IMHO.
True that. Let's wait to see what Charlie and Erik dig up.

Bitcoin is inherently different from the traditional banking system.A non-standard radio frequency is simply non-standard and bothersome. All I can say to them is "good luck with that".
You'd probably have a very hard time building that kind of network on top of Bluetooth/WiFi/3G - those were designed for completely different purposes. It's important that you know that in their hype-laden video that proclaim that bitcoincard will never need to rely on any kind of infrastructure, but then they ask you to buy a device to act as a repeater for their....infrastructure. 
I think they are needed not so much for repeating but to act as the gateways to the Internet and you probably can't do much without gateways, no matter which kind of devices you use.The publicly available information is probably too sparse to judge them just yet. From what I can tell it definitely looks interesting and in a few days we'll know more. Calling them asinine is just as premature as pre-ordering a thousand cards IMHO.
