Who here knows Visa/Mastercard or has contacts with them so that a deal can be brokered, as the whole point of the visa/mastercard card system is the ability to be used worldwide.

If we can get this working, this will be killer. It would go right at bitcoin's throat.

Someone, somewhere must have the ability or the connections to be able to set this up. I dont have any such connections, but if I had, they would have been invoked already.

There are a bunch of reasons why this will never, ever happen. Not the least of which is the fact that digital currency is a direct competitor of Visa and Mastercard. Anyone dreaming of a day when coino cards carry a Visa or Mastercard logo can just stop. It simply won't happen.

If you need a longer list of compelling reasons why this was never realistic, PM me.

Then the only future for this coin is to be a fast transaction vehicle, and nothing else.

EDIT : Visa and Mastercard don't issue the cards as far as I know, it is the local bank that does. Surely they would facilitate such a venture? If not, then this coin's future is the toilet.
