Matt's got far more interesting (though sometimes edgy) things to say.</p>Michael ChangSun, 21 Jan 2007 01:58:07 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/01/19/bitpass-croaks-is-this-the-end-of-micropayments/#comment-14672089<p>Do you and Arrington just read each others' blogs and re-write the same stories? Sure seems that way sometimes.</p>ReaderSat, 20 Jan 2007 21:34:43 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/01/19/bitpass-croaks-is-this-the-end-of-micropayments/#comment-14672088<p>The problem with BitPass was that it was like an operating system without an application e.g. the personal computer without VisiCalc/Lotus 1-2-3.</p><p>On July 15, 2005 I met with Kurt Huang and Duane Kuroda at BitPass to try to persuade them to work with me on the development of DonationPal/SubscriptionPal which is an application that would sit on top of BitPass (or any similar micropayment system). They seemed intent and interested during our 2 hour meeting but I never heard back from them. Perhaps the turmoil of losing their CEO recently was still an issue.</p>Cynthia TypaldosSat, 20 Jan 2007 20:49:02 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/01/19/bitpass-croaks-is-this-the-end-of-micropayments/#comment-14672087<p>Bitpass may well go down as one of many visionary ships launched 10 years too early. A one click anonymous currency for the web is a crying need. Email it to a friend or family member or buy at your favorite Ecommerce site.</p><p>The Yaga technology acquired by Bitpass had great promise...</p><p>Hasta la vista, Bitpass. May the next start-up get the Net currency right.</p>John SteuartSat, 20 Jan 2007 02:17:52 -0000
