We’re Coincards — helping people actually live on Bitcoin for 13+ years through gift cards.

We're one of Bitcoin’s most underrated services — and we’re fine keeping it that way. Our customers are the real ones.
If you like freedom and Bitcoin, give us a follow. 🧡 ₿

Not a single person has transacted Zcash on Coincards since the price pumped.
Kinda weird for a coin that's at all-time highs.

This last week, Coincards did almost as much volume in #XMR as we did in #Bitcoin.
Much love to the #Monero community for promoting the #circulareconomy while maintaining your privacy! 🕵️♀️

During times of high fees. We see #bitcoin usage drop. Lightning usage will pickup a little but the majority of users simply swap to another chain.
The btc transactions that do happen, the fees averaged an additional 10-15% of the value of the order total.

Coincards + Monero 🧡 - Adapting to Canada’s Regulatory Roadblocks 🚨
Over the last few days, Canadian regulators pressured exchanges like Kraken to drop XMR, and they bent the knee. This killed our ability, as a Canadian-based company, to easily convert XMR back to BTC/CAD/USD (and we still need to cover gift card costs).
With centralized exchanges no longer an option, we’re forced to use decentralized exchanges and other apps to liquidate XMR. These often come with fees, liquidity costs and regulatory hurdles/risks.
We hate adding costs — but we really have no choice.
That’s why Monero payments now include a small "Regulatory Liquidation Fee".
👉 Not profit, just pass-through costs
👉 May adjust with market conditions
👉 Without it, XMR wouldn’t be possible
This isn’t about profit — it’s about adapting to a regulatory environment that treats privacy like a crime.
We’ll keep making the adjustments needed so Monero users can continue paying with XMR on Coincards as long as legally possible. 🫡
We know fees suck — and we don’t want to charge them. If it feels too high, we strongly suggest using your favourite swap service to pay with Bitcoin or Lightning ⚡️ (Selecting Bitcoin as a payment method on our site also brings up Tracodor as an option to pay with alts).
Some of our competitors may avoid this fee simply because they aren’t under Canadian regulations, and we understand if you move towards them; unfortunately, for now, that’s outside our control.

Last week, we sent out an ode celebrating Ross's freedom in our newsletter. We also highlighted the cases of Bitcoin Fog, Tornado Cash, and Samourai Wallet trying to garner awareness and support for these cases as well.
We had 2% of our mailing list unsubscribe, a large portion of that claiming abuse and that we sent "inappropriate content". Some went as far as emailing us support tickets with disdain for the cases we supported.
Crazy as it sounds, These aren't the customers we want, and we are OK with them leaving. We would rather have a smaller customer base of cypherpunk freedom weirdos anyway.
If you are still with us, much love. 🧡

Monero Community:
We have sent funding to this proposal, but we can't support the dev work alone. We also sponsored @BtcpayServer directly for years and the @monerotopia hackathon for this work.
Now it's on the community to step up a bit. If you want continued #Monero support we need to make it happen as a community.
Even now, new XMR merchants cannot be added because of a bug in the XMR plugin that doesn't allow fresh installs to wallets. Fixing this is part of the first sprint.
Let's get it done.
ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/…
Let's get this funded, Monero community!
@BtcpayServer has proven absolutely vital in the growing Monero circular economy, and the BTCPay devs have made drastic improvements that allow us to much better support Monero in BTCPay going forward.
@deverickapollo and Napoly will be doing pivotal work around improving Monero support, and I'd love to see this get funded ASAP.
If you want to see even more merchant adoption and simpler setup/management for merchants wanting to make the jump to accepting Monero directly, this is the best next step.

We’re often asked about reloadable Visas. We choose not to offer them.
Why?
They require strict KYC, destroy privacy, and go against our ethos.
Some may choose competitors for "convenience," but Coincards is here for true cypherpunks who value freedom. 🛡️💳

Coincards is now requiring a full 10 confirmations on the XMR chain before an order is processed.
Previously, this was set to be less, but with the ongoing 51% attack, we will adjust as needed to protect against reorgs of the chain.
BTC and other chains remain unchanged.

This morning we discovered an issue with Monero not being shown during checkout due to the mass delistings from several rate providers, causing the rates not to be served, and hence not generating addresses.
We have now corrected the issue.
You can once again pay with XMR :)

To accommodate anyone affected by this regrettable development, we have re-enabled our Dash node and will be once again accepting payments in Dash.
Unfortunately, due to the US government and their criminal regulations, the amazing #DashDirect program is shutting down. The government has simply made it impossible for DD to continue. July 15 will be the last day of operations. This is why we need to decentralize everything.

Over the last few weeks, several large inbound liquidity providers have forced close channels with us, leaving routes sparse and inbound liquidity limited to a few channels.
If you have some extra liquidity, we would appreciate the opening of a channel to our node. 🙏

Our little #bitcoin company has out lasted many fiat companies, and even some other crypto companies.
We've survived numerous exchange failures, contentious forks and Bitcoin civil wars. No VC money, no holding customer funds.
Ignore the drama.

For those who need an alternative, @Coincards continues to support the Monero Community as well.
Although CakePay is technically a competitor of ours, we know and respect the team behind at Cake and are saddened by regulations and politicians killing options for end users.
Tragically, Cake Pay Mobile is temporarily shutting down due to the provider's exit from the crypto business.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we are actively searching for a new provider.
Users will receive their gift cards via email.

We were among the first companies in the world to integrate the Lightning Network. ⚡
Now we’re doing it again — implementing the ARK protocol for Bitcoin payments.
ARK keeps payments fast, private, and self-sovereign — the way Bitcoin was meant to be. All Lightning transactions are now powered by @arkade_os, seamlessly integrated into our stack thanks to @MrKukks.
We stay on the bleeding edge so Bitcoin commerce keeps moving forward.
Others talk innovation. We run it. 🏴

🚀 Vancouver is THE Bitcoin city — and it’s our city, too.
We’re beyond proud to be the Stage Sponsor for @learningbtc_ca. This year has been all about deepening our roots in the community — bringing together builders, thinkers, and doers who are passionate about making Bitcoin practical, accessible, and human-first.
And while Learning Bitcoin isn’t a “build-a-project” kind of event, it is how we #build builders. Because knowledge is the foundation. You can’t build what you don’t understand — and Learning Bitcoin is where that foundation gets laid, together, in the open, in real life.
We’re here to make sure Bitcoin grows not just online, but on the streets of our city. From using #Bitcoin at restaurants, buying steaks from your local farmers, to using gift cards on groceries, gas, and everyday life — vancouver is building the rails for real-world use.
💥 Vancouver is alive with Bitcoin energy.
💥 Vancouver is the #1 #BTC city.
💥 And @Coincards is proud to call it home.
Let’s go. 👊
#Bitcoin #Vancouver #LearningBitcoin #Coincards #BTC
🚀 BIG shoutout to @CoinCards - our official Stage Sponsor for Learning Bitcoin 2025!
Coincards is deeply rooted in the #Vancouver community. They’re committed to ensuring this event truly reflects the city’s vibrant Bitcoin spirit.
Their mission? Make everyday #Bitcoin use seamless, practical, and empowering. From groceries to gift cards, #Coincards brings Bitcoin into real life, and that’s exactly the kind of human-first, values-driven energy we’re building this event around.
Proud to have them on board. Let’s go 🚀

Where are all the cypherpunks building cool stuff, and "in it for the technology"?
We want to align with those people.
Too many companies in this space are thinking about how the founders can get fiat rich, and not what they can do to better the #bitcoin community as a whole.
