Bitcard enables Coinbase users to instantly use their bitcoins to purchase items on non-Bitcoin websites.

This repository contains the code used in our Google Chrome extension.

Winner of the Capital One HackMIT 2016 prize for best use of their Nessie API. Also check out our Devpost Submission.

How it works

1. When initializing,
   1. Initializes OAuth2.0 Login to Coinbase
   2. Provides customer Info to Capital One's Nessie API
2. When making a purchase,
   1. Instantly sends a specified amount of Bitcoin from your Coinbase account to ours
   2. Provides a virtual VISA card # on demand, loaded with the specified amount of BTC in USD

How to use

Unfortunately, the Capital One Nessie API does not allow for real transactions. But, if you still want to try it out:

1. git clone this repository
2. Load this folder into Google Chrome via the extension developer tools
3. Enjoy!

Note that all transactions will NOT generate a usable card number and instead will be considered as donations. Thank you!
