I just got invited to the beta which is exiting but I'm extremely reluctant to auth with my Coinbase account and give them unlimited debit access. @eugeneotto is there anything you can do to make me feel better, that this is a real service and not yet-another-bitcoin-scam?

Thanks for posting @nicholassheriff! I'm a founder at Shift, and happy to answer any questions you have!

@eugeneotto Eugene, does the card allow for any savings on credit card processing fees? Trying to gauge whether the card takes advantage of this advantage to Bitcoin.

@GeoffreyWeg One of the card's most important attributes is that it runs on the existing credit card rails, so it is very widely accepted. The catch, of course, is that we still have to pay the tolls.

@eugeneotto @nicholassheriff Will this ever work in Canada?

Great idea @eugeneotto I just signed up for your service. Looking forward to see how this develops.
