Well, that's just great. I was an original backer and got a Coin 1.0. They kept saying they'd ship me a Coin 2.0 due to the problems with the 1.0, but I never got it. Now it appears all mention of that has been scrubbed from their website.
It is kind of humorous that their website now as a big "Sold Out" banner right at the top next to this announcement.
I'm with you. Not only was I an original backer, but I was also an early backer. I got my Coin 1.0 months after they promised, and it almost never worked anywhere. Coin 2.0 comes out with EVT but no NFC payment, promises to work at more locations, still hardly works. I'm pretty pissed with Coin, and will definitely not buy into any future FitBit products as a result.
If it makes you feel any better, I got a coin 2.0, and it worked so infrequently I stopped using it after like a couple weeks. Plus the annoyed looks from people at shops being like WTF is this thing (which were validated when it didn't work with their system) got old fast.
I just use mine for loyalty cards and magstripe gift cards (so they don't collect dust because I don't want a fat wallet). Might be worth a try if you haven't tried it for anything.
