We want to clear up a bit of confusion.
@CoinCards and Coldcard/Coinkite are separate companies.
We have used the name Coincards longer than the coldcard has been around.
When coldcard was created, we asked NVK to reconsider the name. He laughed it off "it's not even close".
With all that's going on, the name is often being used interchangeably on social media. We are also getting support requests to our site for Coinkite products.
To everyone affected by the situation, we're genuinely sorry you're having to deal with it. As fellow Bitcoiners, we know how stressful anything involving your savings or self-custody can be, and we hope everyone is able to get everything sorted safely.
Wishing everyone the best. ❤️

Halloween is creeping closer. 🎃
We all have our own “when we were kids” version of it.
Homemade costumes. Racing around with friends trying to squeeze in one more house.
Dumping the night’s haul all over the floor afterward to see what you got, what you were keeping and what was up for trade.
However you remember Halloween, get ready to have some fun with it this year. 🧡
The UK has spent three years designing a digital pound.
This week it told every household to keep cash at home in case electronic payments go down.
Even they don't fully trust the rails they're building. 🟧

Some crypto apps want to be your bank, your broker and your life coach.
We just want to sell you a gift card for sats.
Sats in, card out, no balance to babysit, nobody holding your money hostage. Just a shop. 🟧

Patched and back online.
We'd rather go dark for a few hours than take chances with your orders, so that's what we did.
Gift cards for bitcoin and Lightning are open again. Thanks for hanging in there. 🟧

YouTube pulled two Bitcoin channels in one day. Simply Bitcoin was back within about an hour, and The Bitcoin Conference is still gone.
If your audience only lives on someone else's server, they decide when you get to talk.

@bitcoinbhosle Lifetime, for returning customers.
Real number is probably higher, since lots of people use throwaway emails for privacy and show up as new each time.
We've also been growing fast lately. A per-year stat would be good to dig into though, fair point.
Ask us something on X or Nostr and a real person reads it.
We try to answer every reply and mention, and if you spot something broken, tell us.
We'll look into it and let you know what's going on. 🟧
A few German savings banks started selling bitcoin in the Sparkasse app today for €0.99 an order.
The coins sit in DekaBank's pooled wallet, and you can only send them to approved crypto companies, not your own hardware wallet.
That's a bank IOU. 🟧
@ReCoastalSD@MonkeyPhone2@charliebilello You can buy Gift cards for stuff you'd buy anyway. Groceries, gas, Amazon, games. Pay in sats over Lightning and spend the card like cash.

Keonne Rodriguez (@keonne) is serving five years in federal prison. William Hill is serving four.
They helped build Samourai, a Bitcoin privacy tool. #FreeSamourai
Building privacy technology shouldn't mean developers and their families have to live in fear for innovating.
We haven't forgotten Keonne, Bill, or their families, including Lauren (@leamuirleyn), who continues to advocate for Keonne.
