I think teaching a kitten to read your credit card and arrange it's kibble into a binary representation would be easier than using the POSTBillPay website.

So this project is a proof-of-concept for CoinJar's Checkout API? I think doing a consumer approachable project to demonstrate something that's invisible like a new checkout system is a great idea!

It is absolutely a proof-of-concept. At the same time it's just one of the many tools I wish Bitcoin can have. I don't expect it to be profitable (unless you count credit card points) but I will keep it running to allow 694 billers in Australia to accept Bitcoin indirectly.

Maybe someday they will see the value in CoinJar Checkout API and integrate directly. I'll even give them the source code I've written if they're too lazy to browse API docs. :-D
