MoneyPak

2012-03-06T02:44:04Z

DBordello:

a "cash top-up card". Once you purchase it at a participating retailer with cash, you can use it to reload prepaid cards, add money to a [[PayPal]] or [[Serve]] account without using a bank account, or make same-day payments to major companies.

MoneyPak is popular with traders on the [[Bitcoin-otc|#bitcoin-otc]] marketplace as a method for sending funds that are seen as safe for use as a method to receive payment. When added to a PayPal account, the funds are available immediately and the MoneyPak website claims that transactions cannot be reversed.

PayPal allows up to $250 per year for funding a PayPal account. The limit can be raised to $2,000 per-month by providing additional information regarding your identity and successful review by PayPal.

PayPal's terms of service do not allow funds added by MoneyPak to be withdrawn and sent to the account holder's bank account. PayPal's intention is that those funds added will be used for sending money to a merchant or to another PayPal member.

A MoneyPak in an amount from $20 to $500 may be purchased at most retailers. At Walmart, up to $1,100 may be purchased. The money is usually immediately available on your MoneyPak. The exceptions include: Walgreens (60 minute funding delay), Radio Shack (30 minute funding delay) and Longs Drugs (15 minute funding delay).

MoneyPak is provided by Green Dot Corporation which is a licensed money transmitter.

==Fees==

A MoneyPak costs $4.95 (or less) at retailers. The card is not "reloadable". A special offer from Green Dot will earn a $5 credit when a MoneyPak is used to deposited into PayPal (one credit per PayPal account, offer expires Dec 31, 2012)<ref>[http://www.moneypakpromotion.com/PayPalGetFive Special offer from PayPal and Green Dot MoneyPak]</ref>.

Green address

2012-03-06T02:43:10Z

DBordello:

A '''green address''' is a special trusted [[Bitcoin address]] that is used to indicate the origin of funds to a recipient. Assuming the recipient trusts the owner of the address to not attempt a [[double spend]], the recipient may treat the funds as confirmed the moment they arrive.

As an example, assume website Z accepts incoming Bitcoin payments, but also trusts the green address published by [[Mt. Gox]]. Customer C wants to withdraw funds from Mt. Gox and send them to a payment address of website Z. A customer who does a withdrawal from Mt. Gox can click the ''use green address'' checkbox, which will result in the payment being sent to the green address as an intermediate step before forwarding the payment to site Z. Site Z can confirm that the payment passed through Mt. Gox's green address and trust the payment as confirmed immediately, since it knows that the only party who could potentially perform an attack to reverse the payment is Mt. Gox, which is presumed unlikely.

The concept originated on the forums and was discussed in two threads<ref>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48170</ref><ref>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=32818.0</ref>. Since then, it has been implemented by [[Instawallet]] and [[Mt. Gox]].
