Is Canada trying to go cashless?
 

Canadians, what's up with this? MintChip

Looks like it. That's a serious judging panel they have for app submissions. The move is on!

Online anonymity, that's a joke. Only cash allows you to not give out any name or ID.
Safe? Any hacker can get your money or ID. Granted a thief can steal your wallet or cash from your home. But a can of cash in the back yard, is safe, as long as only YOU know it is there.

Long as prostitution, drugs and even legal transactions, such as yard work, that people don't want taxed, cash will exist. Even if a country, say Canada outlaws cash, people will use cash from another country or someone will create a currency.

i want to be the middleman

There is only one Mint Chip.. and this is it :2 cents:

Implementing a cashless society is going to be virtually impossible. There will always be an underground economy and the barter system.

Looks like offline currency for online transactions,not a replacement for cash lol.Something like http://www.ukash.com

Who the fuck carries cash?

Every weekend now we go to local football games and it's cash only. It sucks. Every time we have to go to the bank before hand.

I heard about this already, it will definitely arrive. (I hope they allow adult!).

Let's hope it happens sooner rather than later. Cash currency = outmoded

I do. 9 out 10 times I purchase something offline, I pay cash.

I like cash! The last time someone suggested banning cash, it was that dvtimes idiot. This was the result: https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1075459

hope they allow you.

It really depends what job people have

Other than online,all I use is cash only

Also banning cash it's not possible yet due to -old people.Toomany people still dont know to use computers.I predict in 40 years cash ban should be done.

Cashless society would be very convenient. However, it's also bankers' wet dream. Imagine them being able to loan out tons of cash they can now REALLY produce out of thin air. And it won't run the risk of any bank run, since no one can actually go to the bank and withdraw all their cash.

go to the bank? Are you living in the stone age? ATM's are on every corner

What if you just want a candy bar or drink, you put it on a card?

I hate cards as you have to show ID here, I always pay cash.
I'm not having some kid with my id and cc details.
I know what my old friends used to get up to with cloning.:1orglaugh

i'm sorry, but i prefer cash.

paying by card is for sheeps :-P

Switch to decaf.

:2 cents:

don't hold your breath, not happening in your lifetime.

Fight a fully cashless system!

Fight the power!

It's a joke right ?

I, for one, carry cash, because I do not like plastic money. And I despise people who write checks.

do ppl still write checks at stores? didnt know you could do that. i use interac for everything myself, only time i ever need cash is when i goto the states

i hate people in front of me who pay by card in the supermarket.

Chip based technology is one of the first steps towards this. If you don't think cash will eventually be phased out, think again.

You mean you don't care that granny ahead of you is slowly counting out that 43 cents in pennies and has to start over again :P

Mint Chip can go to hell where it belongs!

if you have any of that nasty cash laying around ill clean it up for free! :)
