Please open back up. I want to buy your product. Don't make me wait too long please.

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.

I'm still waiting on my brass and aluminum cards.  Have other people got theirs?  Are they still waiting?

I'm pretty sure these guys ran away with our money. 

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.

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.

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.

I guess casascius ran them out of business for the time being.
