QR Codes on debit credit cards | BitCoin

BitCoin (peer-to-peer digital currency) is planning to launch debit cards. Looks like it is going to carry a QR Code to facilitate transfer of BitCoins from one person to another.

The QR Code in the image contains:
"14sjfPJbkf8WDXcFrFmnnodrkZemh1Z1LB"

This is the 34 character BitCoin address of the example user. More about BitCoin addresses here:

The Q in QR Code stands for Quick and this is another great use case of using QR Codes to make tasks easier, quicker and safer (avoid typos) for end users!
