[–] rollypolly 14y ago ↗ I wonder if bitcoin users feel threatened by this project..? [–] gravitronic 14y ago ↗ It seriously has nothing to do with bitcoin. It's more like paypal but with hardware tokens that can store value. The money on the chip is canadian dollars. [–] rollypolly 14y ago ↗ Interesting. So if you lose the token, you lose your money, like a real wallet? [–] kruhft 14y ago ↗ Yes. There's a limit of $500 you can store on the chip.
