I personally think this is a really good idea people are always worried about keeping their BTC secure now with this you can have a tangible copy that will keep it secure for a while.Now you can lock it in a safe I mean come on what ordinary person is going to want to steal your bitbill  |

Orders are currently paused due to Mybitcoin's outage and sporadic service. Thanks you for your patience. We are working hard on other solutions to get orders back up.

What's the rush? Are there any stores accepting it? The rush is to accommodate my impatience!  I want to see this project up on its feet feeding the community the progress that we desire. If I owned a business I would accept bitbills. I will do so for any personal trades as well. |

REALLY need a no brainer way to "redeem" bitbills. Would really like to have a secure way to "test" your public/private keys. Loading 500btc on a "bank card" and having one private key character be fudged up would be tragic.

REALLY need a no brainer way to "redeem" bitbills. kind of like how coinedbits does it? "enter bitcoin code" http://coinedbits.com Would really like to have a secure way to "test" your public/private keys. i suppose you could spend it giving the bill's own address as the output |

How long is the wait for brass bitbill bank cards right now?
I'm still waiting on my brass and aluminum cards. Have other people got theirs? Are they still waiting? |

Anyone feel like commenting on the status of the coins they've converted to BitBills? IOW, checking out the public address on a card you own to see if the coins are still there?
I had really wanted to get a low-denomination one, for the novelty if nothing else...

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

It wouldn't surprise me, given the way things have been going for bitcoin lately... |

maybe ask the bitcoin atm guy, he's on here. Forgot his name.
Seems like the atm is built around bitbills, if they just disappeared he would know.

Why do you think this? They just got a new web site a week ago... what money of yours did they run away with? |

This is a great idea. The only problem I see right now is that redeeming these cards requires patching the bitcoin client. Hopefully that patch will be pulled soon. It looks like a webcam/image based qr reader isn't too hard to implement. http://www.webqr.com/ has a simple flash + javascript implementation. It would be neat if you could redeem and check these cards through bitbills.com. |

The bank and payee cards are awesome, too!
I was looking into using bitcoin-off-the-grid as a way to securely save my coins, but the bank card looks even easier.

It would be more interesting if you offer a gift card without its value printed. So customer can send any amount BTC to it and gift to someone.

What is the status of this project? I would like to buy some but the purchase page is still disabled? Any idea if/when you might be up and running again?

I doubt that. I had a chat with llama not too long ago. Seems to me they are not able to produce their product, I am not sure what's wrong. Me running them out of business would look more like them offering to sell their product, but no one buying it. What you see is the exact opposite. |
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.
