They get it anyway when they steal your wallet.

I'd rather carry 3 cards than trust that thing.

How's it any different than getting robbed now?

what prevents the waiter from pressing the stupid button and overdrawing my expense account?

Are you saying that when someone robs you of your things, they now possess all of the the things they took from you?

It looks real simple for someone to quickly swipe and add someone elses CC to their coin.
1. Waitress has a coin, the iphone app and swiper.
2. Swipe every CC she gets in one night.
3. Profit.

It's intriguing. I will consider. How do you prevent, say, a waiter from accidentally pressing the button and choosing a different card than the one you intended?

Read something that there is a feature that will lock it to whatever card you want it on if it's out of range of your phone (no clue what the range would be though). I think it's an interesting concept, been going back and forth on pre-ordering one. $55 isn't terrible

Yeah, I will look into it more and consider it.

I store my cash in an 8 inch black dildo and body carry that sucker around everywhere I go. They may get my wallet but my money is safe.

this. if it malfunctions one day, you are fricked on all your cards. Gets stolen? Then what. I leave 2 cards in my car or house since I don't need 3 credit cards with me at all times.

This would actually be a benefit to having one of these, rather than giving out an actual card.
It seems like it would make easier to be caught (assuming the coin is associated with an account on the app).
1. Associate coin used in fraudulent purchase to the account owner through the app
2. Jail profits
