Title: piiko.com … recharge your mobile phone … gone? :(
Post by: giszmo on June 30, 2014, 03:44:37 PM
Hi

last time I recharged my phone, piiko was "in maintenance". Now, 2 weeks later again it's in maintenance? Or still? I was also surprised to not find any announcement of piiko here on the forum but they recharged my phone several times with no extra fees.

I'd hope to see some announcement thread of them here soon and not some "yeah, they are gone for good" as it was really as easy as it can get. Enter number to charge, pick amount and confirm carrier, send coins. No registration bullshit, so it was perfect to give some bitcoin love to friends that ran out of credit.

Hi,
I can talk on behalf of piiko.
Sorry we disappeared without any announcement. We're going through hard times at the moment, but I hope to get service back online within 2-3 weeks.
We have to rewrite everything from scratch.

Hi Umbrel,

sad to hear that :( Sounds like some copyright shit? Did you hire somebody who now doesn't allow you to use your code? Stupid guess but if you need any help, share what you need and maybe people here can help. I found your marketing strategy very stealth anyway, so make some buzz next time you launch, so I don't miss it ;)

Your crash page (This exception has been logged with id 6jeiapmm6) and the associated favicon tells me you are using playframework. I love it :)

The price is insane! 10% markup? WTF? Before, I could top up at 0% if I picked the $30 option. With a 10% markup I'd love to see a $1 option as I will certainly only use it in emergency situations and not to regularly top up my plan.

And, yeah, in this emergency situation now I was glad to see you back in business in Chile at all but ran into above mentioned Exception. :(

Good to see you are back now.  Your fees are high, but way lower than the only other option at mobileshop.ph, who charges like 28%.

After 7 confirmations, where is my "top-up" ?  :-[

Usually this service works within a half hour for me.  Every once in a while it takes half a day.

They use coinbase and it was instant for me before yesterday.

Just send them a message with the order number. I have had a similar problem before, and my BTC was sent back.
