   Thanks for the 1mbit :) The absolute killer feature for me is multisig with a second party, based on a standard BIP backup seed - so 2 of 3, I hold 2 keys on a paper wallet, the mobile app holds 1 key, the trusted other party holds 1 key, 2

    I see it as competition to PayPal, I like PayPal vs a credit card b/c of convenience and privacy The tricky part here is that Coinbase is taking their 1% fee on the buyback (Maybe they should give a special rate here) - but they also r
