I'm excited to hear about your experience with the Shift Card. I would get one, but I don't live in an approved state right now. :cry:

My biggest concern is that it won't be very competitive with regular debit cards. Currently there are no fees for transactions, but it appears there will be at ...

Aaron,

First, I want to thank you for developing a great wallet. It is my primary hot wallet, and I recommend it to anyone I can. I also appreciate your desire to make Bitcoin more accessible to the "average" user, which means simplicity and ease-of-use.

That's a great idea!

I'm happy to supply 5-10 free copies (or even more if there is interest) to the forum as giveaways or as review copies. Just let me know if you want me to send them all to you, or to individuals who win/request. My only constraint is that I don't think I could afford to ship ...
