    I preordered this when it was $50 about two years ago or so. After a year I asked for a refund.

    They are good about refunding. With all the extra time, you would expect a quality product. This is another similar project that looks interesting.

    That's at least a better implementation of the first one. You can put it into a something that takes and self scans the card and use the "tap" feature. I saw a chip on there but the video didn't go into that.

  • I pre-ordered one of these the first day they came online to pre-order. Then they missed their deadline and expanded it into 2015 and they canceled my pre-order back then it was only $50 pre order.

    Now come October these will be obsolete anyway. There is a competitor that is both Mag Swipe and EMV dip which meets the new standard that goes into effect October 2015.

    This.

    Btw, do you have the name to the competitor?

  • I don't right off. I found out about them on one of them Facebook ad's in my feed. If I see it again i'll mention it here.

    I do not see how Coin will last against ApplePay or GoogleWallet anyway. Why have a "card" when the phone itself using NFC and a wallet in the phone is available?

    I don't see how ApplePay or GoogleWallet will last against EMV contactless(These terminals are common already in ireland, netherlands, germany) anyways, which never runs out of battery and is just as simple
