Hey guys, you can send a postcard anywhere in the world with a few clicks using http://cards4bits.com for only ~0.028 BTC Surprise someone you care about with a nice postcard. Nobody expects to get anything personal like that in the mail anymore, and it's quite a nice surprise when you're only expecting bills and junk mail but you find a postcard from someone you know. The sender can keep their anonymity if they wish, and we promise not to disclose the recipient addresses for any reason, ever. Thanks everyone!

You have .28 BTC in your post title, but the site says .028 ($4 instead of $40)
You may want to fix that, and I'll remove this post when you do, so no need to quote it or respond.

Yep. Was going to come in here and call you a highway robber etc. etc., but hopefully we're looking at 0.028BTC, which would be much more reasonable.
I think its a mistake and nothing more ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

On the website FAQ it says The postcards are shipped First-Class postage to any destination in the United States.
So, is this worldwide or not? Also, stamped?

You're getting an invalid file error because it's JPG only and you're probably uploading a PNG or something other than JPG. I just changed it to accept PNGs as well, so hopefully it should work for you now. Sorry about that! Also you need to clarify whether this is US only or international in your FAQ page.
Thanks for the heads up, I forgot that I had that info on the FAQ page. Check your mail for a code for a free card ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Beware, if you send to most US recipients, we get bundles of junk mail (including postcard junk) multiple times every week. These might be thrown in the trash with the junk mail by accident and you might get complaints for non-delivery if people seriously want the recipient to see them.
|
Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Huh, where do you live that this happens? In CT, my mail is not bundled at all, so I glance at each item before I throw it away. Also I would think that the bundled items would be shipped bulk-mail rate, but these cards are shipped standard first class postage so shouldn't be bundled in with the junk. These postcards should be just like if you were on vacation and threw a stamp on a postcard you bought in a gift shop. Thanks for the heads up though!

Actually, this is one of the big draws of the service. Since sending snail-mail is so rare nowadays, a postcard is almost like an of out-of-band method of communication. Nobody expects to get a postcard in the mail from someone they know, so it's quite a nice surprise when one does show up.

(including postcard junk)
The keyword is junk - it's bulk-sent for cheap. There aren't many reported problems of people being screwed over by having a first-class postcard thrown away with the rest of the junk mail people get.
