Just a random thought I wonder how long this will actually work… The rest of the world uses credit cards with chips in them already at some point that tech is going to come here. I’m hoping someone hacks these things fast because you can do a lot of horrible things with mag stripe cards like reprogramming hotel room locks :lol: ---

I like the idea of the Coin better…I don’t like the idea of countless people handling my phone. I’m picturing where I use my card most often…dining. At restaurants the terminal is not often customer facing, the waitress takes your card or in this case your phone. Wild, all this digital currency tech coming out. When will the US abandon paper bills and go easy to track e-currency only? ---

I plan to use this to replace wegmans/tops card, debit card, credit card, corporate card. I will only have to carry this, a license, and an insurance card. It will make it much thinner. ---
