You've heard of credit card fraud before... right?
There are ways to prevent this, as has been already mentioned above, verification is the key.
You've got to be kidding me. Bring your 3-tier verification processes. You're still going to get defrauded if you allow crypto purchases with credit cards - period. If you don't understand this, then you're just being ignorant.
But please, prove me wrong... (hint: you can't, I'm just going to enjoy watching you fail if you try)
well im not here to teach you about creditcard merchant and banking technologies so if that is your view then what can i say but, you are welcome to your opinion. keep saying it's impossible, you'll believe it eventually. experienced point of sale and financial sector worker here who's worked in rooms with millions of dollars sitting next to me in cash.. but hey what do i know. if you try any creditcard fraud though via my implementation, you'll find cops at your door no matter what country u live in.
vericoin may have chosen to use a 3rd party. but doesnt that mean "not impossible"?
anyway it's past my bedtime/movietime so im off for now.
It's not just an opinion... nor does having sat next to piles of cash indicate you know anything about credit card fraud prevention.
How about this: if you're so sure nobody can defraud your credit card processing implementation, please put your money where your mouth is, and offer a public challenge to proving you wrong.
The fact your say, "you'll find cops at your door" clearly indicates that you have no clue about anonymity on the internet. How exactly are you going to find the person that defrauded you to buy a digital product that was never shipped? And even if you are talking about a merchant that physically ships products, it's going to be a drop address, and the recipient will be long gone by the time you get the credit card charge back...
So... Prove it or shut the fuck up - and I'll happily disprove anything you try to prove about your recent comments. So, I would suggest you go with the "shut the fuck up" option, and stop talking about what you don't know. You show me somewhere that you can purchase crypto currencies with credit cards, and I'll show you somewhere that is (or will be) actively being defrauded.
And BTW, working with large sums of cash that isn't yours is easy - most people learn quickly not to associate that cash with spendable money, and instead view it as a sort of monopoly money - it can be counted, but has no real world value to you.
Verification on both ends of a transfer could make this happen. If both parties agree to the terms of verification then if someone took a product illegally they would have to face the law. This would require adapting the current business practices set in place by crypto currencies, and companies like Paypal ect. The reason CC get charged back is that Paypal simply hasn't found a way to make intellectual property sales secure enough yet. I have seen chargebacks on "intellectual" property since the day people started charging back. I have been in video game sales for roughly 17 years before I moved onto crypto, so I am very familiar with chargebacks.
The only reason they charge back is they have no proof of sale for "intellectual" property. Which is why in most cases, all you need to do is send something like a hand letter to prove delivery / acceptance and then all the ability to charge back goes away once you have verified your side of the transaction. In intellectual property debates the companies like paypal, currently always side with the buyer as a default.
Now imagine, if VRC used verification and could make this integration between intellectual property sales, and merchants seemless, and more secure? Sure it would require additional innovation to create that security. But that is why we are here, having this discussion.
