You can now donate Bitcoins to the Darcs project via CoinCard.  There's no fee for this service.  This method of donations will be listed on the Darcs donation page soonish.

Background: Darcs is a version control tool based on a unique cherry-pick workflow.  I'm part of the Darcs core team.  The Software Freedom Conservancy manages Darcs finances but won't accept Bitcoin donations directly (because the EFF stopped accepting Bitcoin).  After processing $100 in donations manually, I figured it was easier to just teach CoinCard to handle them.

CashStar changed their checkout process breaking my auto-purchase scripts.  I've disabled those two gift card options until I can figure out a way to automate the purchases again.

Amazon payments are still working great and we're handling a steady volume of them each week.

The service is still operating.  We've done stiff business the last couple weeks as Bitcoin exchange rates have been high.  I recommend that new customers do just what they'd do with any Bitcoin service they haven't used before: try a small transaction first to make sure everything works to their satisfaction.

I've had a couple customers do a $500 transfer for their first try and then find out that Amazon doesn't like their account for some reason.  They spend a few days working through Amazon's machine before they can get their funds.

Funny you should mention that, I just did a $114 transfer using your service to my amazon account and they aren't approving it. What a pita!

Keep me posted on your progress via email.  If Amazon doesn't give you the funds after 30 days, they bounce back to my account and then I can refund your Bitcoins.

Any idea when you will be able to fund the site again?

A MtGox withdrawal was delayed for 11 days, so that put me behind schedule on funding.  I expect to have Amazon funds available by Friday of next week (August 24th), at the latest.

CoinCard is now permanently closed.  As other demands have come up, I've had to trim back on some activities.  There are far more Bitcoin exchanges operating today than when I started CoinCard 18 months ago.  CoinCard just isn't as important as it once was.

I'm still convinced that Bitcoin is the future and will continue working on Bitcoin projects as opportunity permits.  Thanks for all your business.

It's sad to hear that this is the end for CoinCard, which used to be one of the pillars on which Bitcoin rested and which played a vital role in me personally getting involved with it.

I wish you luck in your future ventures and hope they will be as fruitful.

....and Jeremy was not overcharging for the service like those two. We need to have a less expensive cash out service for Bitcoin than the currently existing ones. Well, at least until some country makes Bitcoin their national currency. 

Seriously! CoinCard filled a gap! I seriously almost cried when I saw it was done for good.
