Title: Re: WTB 2 x 1g Silver Bitcoin type 2 rounds AND 1 BTC BitBill
Post by: thirdlight on September 16, 2011, 01:25:08 PM
I can help with the type 2's - I'm in UK, though, so if you're US, someone else would be more competitive for shipping. PM if interested.

I think they are worth only .49 cents if anything
In case you missed the info they used mybitcoin as wallet and suffered a loss

And maybe you don't know that bitbills were not selfcontaining pair of address & key but only a voucher & code to be redeemed by issuer, built on top of mybitcoin

So they failed because of MyBitcoin?

I got a friendly warning to check my info. Maybe they are just fine and working as expected (have personally no bitbill to try to redeem it)
I wish all people all the best, but I also noticed they used mybitcoin as wallet
as people they might be great, as business operators they might have made a mistake

No, they did contain a private key.  I cashed one out using nothing but bitcoinj and entering the private key.

I'm pretty sure for each card's actual bitcoins, the company would have to export money to a new private key, since you couldn't really do that internally in mybitcoin, but I'll have to dig out my remaining cards and test.

^^ this is the message that caused my headache.

knowing that mybitcoin's private keys were no way accessible to users I assumed all bitbills were affected.
maybe they redesigned their product, mybitcoin fiasco is dated July.
They relaunched their site in September.

conditional hooray for bitbills.

In such case I was wrong and admit that.
