Cause of death: the autopsy

There is no public official BIN list: the card networks license it to acquirers. Developers were clearly working on it, but without an official source there was nothing to check against, and reselling the data carried licensing risk.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
