(NASDAQ:OLB), a diversified payments company with a Bitcoin mining subsidiary, DMint http://www.dmint.com being prepared for a spin-off to shareholders, announced today the market launch of two wireless phone provider resellers to the unbanked sector. Black Wireless http://www.blackwireless.com, an AT&T-compatible prepaid phone service reseller, and Mango Mobile https://www.mymangomobile.com, a T-Mobile-compatible prepaid phone service, was "soft launched" to validate the market demand and the signup authentication process before this national market launch.
