So what's the deal? I saw the notice about CoinPayments shutting down but the site is still live after the shutdown date? And there's talk of a new owner?
Is CoinPayments going away or not?
CoinPayments will continue, just under new management. All operations should remain normal, unless otherwise noted. |

Nope, it's working here. If you PM me a transaction ID I can resend an IPN and see what your server says.

I'm glad to find out that this service will continue. I remind you that you can advertise your service for free on the freicoin foundation's merchant list: https://foundation.freicoin.org/#/tradePlease, register your service there. Some people ask for payment processors and it would be nice if they could directly find you there instead. |

Orbitcoin (ORB) was supported by CoinPayments. Now it's not in the list. The support is silent. What's up?

Since the addition of the coin, way back months ago, it has received 0 transactions... Along with a few other coins that have been inactive for some time now. Nobody is using it to buy anything. |

Same thing with YACoin. I received an email with the same explanation. Thank you for the response. I have a concern though. Considering votes can be bought, it seems a little unfair to accept a coin now with the possibility of removal if it doesn't meet some quota of transactions? When YAC was accepted, I'm pretty sure there wasn't a gift card service like there is now. I looked for things to buy, but I didn't find anything appealing. I guess it is a chicken or an egg question--the merchants vs the coins... which I think would be more understandable if it didn't take BTC to get votes. I mean I believe you that 0 transactions were made with YAC. Is there a real cost to having a coin on there? What if it had only a couple transactions in a few month time frame? These would be good questions to know for the future at the very least I think. YACoin is definitely alive. It has a working block explorer, website, up-to-date on every fundamental feature. It needs work in the enthusiasm department, which I'm optimistic about. Each NFactor change is like a new release of a coin. But it wouldn't hurt to have a payment system like coinpayments. Any thoughts or clarification would be appreciated. I'm very thankful for coinpayments regardless. Cryptocoins are just speculative commodities without payment systems! |

Both coins were from before the donation votes, but they were online for many months before they were deactivated (ORB was actually one of our earliest listed coins.) Coins with even 2 or 3 transactions we still have active so they have a chance to grow. Each coin will get at least a few months before getting deactivated.
Each coin does have a cost in terms of CPU and RAM usage mainly; the coins are actually still there just not running since disk space is cheap. If a store owner wants to accept one of the deactivated coins and has a realistic chance of getting transactions we can turn it back on with a flick of a switch.

If it can't pull some of its weight, we try to give new coins a trial run at it. Also we do not collect proceeds or fees on the votes, they all go to BitGive Water Fund. |

The coin got PoW mining stuck in January, lost its founder in early March, was nearly abandoned and attacked recently. Now, it has just started to become popular again. Come on, Red Mist paid you to get listed at CoinPayments as he paid everyone to get things done. Give ORB a second chance. |

Don't misconstrue my point of view... at this point, I personally don't have an issue with using btc for votes, whether it goes to a charity or not. Like you said, YAC was voted on without BTC, so I feel can't really complain. But I would complain if it was voted on with BTC, and you decided to take it down without being transparent on the requirements to leave it up. I know YAC was an extreme case of 0 transactions, but it would be good to know in the future. I hope that makes sense. On a side note, I think gift cards for crypto is awesome. Is there a chance CoinPayments could be used on gyft.com or egifter.com? Thanks for all that you do. |

ORB was one of 14 coins you selected for the public beta before any public votes started. I admit Red Mist has failed to deliver what he has promised, but the community is still there helping to make something good. Give it a couple more months and remove if it doesn't work out. |

If they want to use CoinPayments they are more than welcome to On new coins, we will give them at least 2 months.

Its usually because one of the sides dont want alts. Bitpay probably only wants to deal in btc so egift doesnt want to hold the bag alone. Similar to my auction site I have seperate bid packages for only btc auctions becausethe vendors to those items being auctioned off will only take btc. I accept ltc too because it had a big orderbook but until the alts have sustainable depth no business will risk even more volaility already inherent with dealing in btc For othe auctions i accept dvc which had low book depth but these are funded via devcoin monthly so there is no volatility issue here. |
