Ordered 30-07 two debit cards and was pleased to see that I received the cards already 09-08, only yesterday I would like to use one card but currently, all card services are in maintenance mode. It should be fixed in a few hours but now I still see this message.

Since I am not sure if a few hours is another 2 hours or 100 hours do I wonder when we can use the cards again???

Edit:
After contacting UQUID support on skype they did reply really fast and could tell me that they are waiting for their card vendor.

It is during the pre-sale. In a sense, it always is because the successful Contractors will receive ethers to fund their approved proposals and will be obliged to pay out ethers once they make money.

If you want to buy during the pre-sale, ETH is the only way to get some. That'll change once the pre-sale closes and The DAO is listed.

Right now, Ethereum is probably your most profitable coin with that card.

 Your cgminer issue might be bad configuration, or wrong driver(s) - I don't remember if cgminer supports OpenCL offhand (forget AMD Stream, AMD themselves dropped all Stream support almost 3 years back for ANY, and almost 4 for XP).

 You might need a different cgminer version for that matter, some of them were fairly specialised....
