1) It is Bitcoin > Currency, not the other way around
2) No verification and no waiting is kind of essential if you want to have an anonymous virtual debit card
3) Stolen? Are you out of your mind? Do you really think I would go public, if those cards were stolen? How stupid do you think I am?
4) I never mentioned anything about 1 10% fee - What I said is, that the beta testers can keep 10% of the amount that I give to them - If there is any fraud, it could only hit me, not them.
5) Card numbers are issued on demand - that means that the card number is new, never used - any fraudulent activity on my side is hereby impossible.

I expect your apology or statement to my answers.

 Accusing someone like this is not acceptable. I recommend you read the whole thread, in order to get to know what this is actually about.

what do you mean?
[/quote]

It means that while being a beta, I cannot offer it for free, so I would expect to get 90% of the value back. Let's say I give you a card with 10$ on it, and you spend it on a voucher or whatever,
if you're satisfied and confirm that it works, I would expect to get 9$ back from you to my BTC account. The $1 left can be kept by the beta tester. This is a beta for a service, he is not offering
free money

PS: Let me know if you're interested in a trial, I like your stats and you seem trustworthy.

@twister, thanks for pointing that out, here an updated T&C for the free trial:

In order to prove that this offer is legit, and that the virtual debit cards are working, I am able to offer a free trial to 3 members (regulars) by the following conditions:

1) Send me a PM with a trial request, and what type of virtual card you need (or for what purpose)
2) You will receive a debit card number, cvv code, issue & valid date, topped up with $5 or $10
3) You acknowledge in this thread that you received a card for testing purposes
3) You are free to test the card for a period of 48 hours
4) When done testing, you transfer 90% of the card value to my BTC account
5) You write a short, unbiased and real review and post it in this thread

- Testing cards will be issued with USD currency only
- Let me know if you prefer a 3 digit or a 4 digit CVV code (Astropay for instance has 4 digits)
- If you already know the testing purpose, let me know. For instance some cards work better with paypal verification, amazon verification, etsy and so on.
- You cannot use the card for any illegal activities and you are solely responsible for your actions if you do so.
- Only participants with a trust value of 1 or greater, and senior members are allowed in this trial

Please write me a PM if you want to participate.
I am updating the OP with this now.

@twister

NO - that can be modified, in most cases a US credit / debit card statement will be shown to the receiver.
I will prepare some free trials* today to people who wrote in this thread and messaged me by PM.

*Please note that a free trial means that I am taking the risk giving you a low value account upfront that you can
test out by either transferring it to another card or buy something - but after testing it has to be transferred
back to me, since I am not giving away free money

There is no registration, annual or monthly fee. The validity of the card is one year. After you finish the top-up amount, you can get a new one. The only fees to be paid are top-up and conversion fees, which will be somewhere in the 2-5% range, depending of the amount - but I have no final numbers on that topic yet.

@erpbridge
its like your normal regular virtual visa / mastercard, we're not talking about a bitcoin wallet. The only difference between this service, and let's say astropay is, that your privacy is protected
when you top up your card and get it. By using the card however your privacy can be obviously compromised.

The loophole I am referring to is about the legal protection of the processor company, because selling anonymous virtual debit cards is obviously something that is viewed at in a rather "shady" perspective,
even if the sole purpose is just protecting someones privacy.

One question though: Will people be more interested in a "real" plastic version of the card? His only concern about that is that that card has to be mailed somewhere, which would compromise the privacy,
and then the whole service looses its purpose.


@marcotheminer
Yes, my reaction was quite the same. I am not sure if it is legal to use this virtual debit card - I guess it depends on the country you live in, or on the seller you are buying from. But since it's a debit card
and payments are transferred immediately, it shouldn't raise any eyebrows.

PS: I forgot to add that the available currencies will be EUR/USD/HKD/CYN for the beginning.

I can provide free samples to any regular here on the forum on a first come first serve basis, in exchange for a review and (hopefully)positive feedback

 

A close friend of mine is working on a service and asked me to pitch it here
on the forums and report feedback back to him.

He is currently finishing up a payment processor, where you can top up virtual
visa / mastercard cards up to 10.000USD without providing a SSN, name, address
or any other personal information, not even an email.

While I cannot disclose the exact business model how he is doing it, I can tell that it is
legal and that he already registered a company in Hongkong which will be the issuer / processor.

People will get the card details right after the payment and the transaction information
will be destroyed right after the buyer confirms that he saved the information.

Please let me know if this is of interest, and also what options you would like him to include
eventually, to make the experience truly anonymous. I know of a lot "anonymous" btc to cc
processors, but no-one so far accomplished to protect your privacy 100%.

Leave suggestions or comments in this thread, I will check it regularly. Also, please send me
a PM if you want to be included in the beta starting July.

PS: This service is not committing fraud, it is just using a loophole in the HK banking system.
Using this service for any fraudulent activity will not be tolerated.  

edit: changed topic to contain "virtual"

right, with the only difference that there are boards already on the market and they arrive within 7 days anywhere, if you don't have problems with customs.

I've been very busy these days, I will answer to all the mails today, and update my current inventory in this thread.

two 1.7G packages sold, 7 left (one reserved for testing by senior member)

I agree on the ROI part - that's why I don't even consider using them (because I buy in cash, not in BTC). Yet if someone saved up some BTC it's okay I guess.
I can quote prices in USD too, since I will be exchanging the BTC anyway.

I already offered rudrigorc2 a board - If he doesn't want it I can send it to you, sure. I agree to your terms, seems fair enough  

rudrigorc2, thanks for the input - yes, it is possible, otherwise they wouldn't be selling like warm bread here in China.

PS: If you agree I can send you a board, and feel free to test it (for free, but if you send it back) The only requirement is to post your testing-data into this thread. I agree that I am a newbie, yet I know that I am selling authentic stock and the numbers are right.

for more information.

I am not an engineer. As far as I understand they found a way to do some over-clocking combined with the bigger fan.
As soon as I test them I will provide screens. They push it to 420 - 430mh/s per board, so with 4 boards 1.7G is possible.

PS: Yeah, the ROI is always a problem since the beginning of this year ; )

My mistake, should be 20 - does it make more sense?

PS: I am NOT the OP of this thread.

I am not sure about the design though, I am a reseller, not an engineer.
I am willing to send one board to one member with a 4+ rating for free, if that would strengthen my authority & trust. So you can test it, etc.

green boards are cheaper. I am not an engineer - I receive, test, and resell. I don't even mine. I am in China, so I try go get people and cheaper option while making enough profit for myself. But I agree that people should be careful - yes. 

I found a better supplier with spartan6 chips (yeah, on a blue board), the thread is here:

Please don't make this thread into a discussion on wherever fpga is okay or not, I saw some demand and that's why I am posting this thread.
Prices are FOB China (Chongqing).

1.7G: 11BTC
3.4G: 19BTC

Lancelot, with the latest firmware from ngzhang (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=79835.0) - Please refer to this thread for specs.

I am receiving my order tomorrow, ( 10x 1.7G & 6x 3.4G ). Shipment within 48 hours. Please handle customs if you live outside of China before
making a purchase or inquiring.

I am selling them on a first come first serve basis, and I will publish them at the same price tomorrow at some Chinese websites.

sorry about the watermarks

I don't do escrow too, mainly because due to regulations and current political "changes" you just want to stay anonymous.
Yet for ebay, I guess Escrow should be a must.
