- saadshamim 13y agotheir card looks better (chip access), but the whole case thing doesn't make sense, It looks massive in the picture. My initial reaction with coin was that its counter intuitive, NFC or just mobile (square/paypal) are clearly the future. However, the coin card seems like a brilliant move now, they're entering the market through the path where everyone is familiar with the form factor and the technology isn't overwhelming.
- nayefc 13y agoNFC is clearly not the future. Square/PayPal (also not the future with their current products) are not incompatible wit Coin. In fact, Coin fits well into the current ecosystem.
- therobot24 13y agowow, at least they shipped something, even though it's really shady and generally worthless, they actually created a product as opposed just posting an update of "out of money, sorry" or completely disappearing
- hayesbh 13y agoThey shipped something to some people, and nothing to others. They shipped me an initially defective pair of cases, said they'd happily replace them, took them back and shut down the company without ever replacing them. These guys took a lot of people's money and left them with nothing to show for it. I've been extremely hesitant to Kickstarter anything since.
