I am not sure why anyone would want to accept Bitcoin via Stripe
Same can be accomplished with Bitpay, who take 0% in fees with a 30$/month package (1% otherwise), they also pay into the bank the next business day unlike Stripe.
And they are also alot more open as to the types of businesses they accept.
Or hell one could directly accept bitcoin with bitcoind running locally or using the blockchain.info api and then converting bitcoins with Bitstamp (or just using the bitcoins to buy things, every day more and more places accept them!)
It is great seeing Stripe actually embracing new technologies but imho their current bitcoin "offering" is not great and they are picky as to who they do business with.
edit: ah typical HN fanboyism, vote down anything negative said about Stripe instead of addressing the points raised.
This anyone considering a "serious" long term business should avoid Paypal, they eventually screw every merchant one way or another, their history is littered with horror stories and business that have grown reliant on then and went under when their funds get eventually frozen over some automated stupidity and no customer support.
Ive been given a static ipv4 and a big ipv6 range from my isp, problem is despite getting the latest and best router
http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN66U/
I cant get ipv6 to work with this router, tho if i connect laptop directly to the wan cable i get an ipv6 address without issues and can use google via ipv6 etc
If a slightly unshaven geek like me cant get ipv6 to work easily what hope is there for rest of the world :(
"Just like sending funds to bank accounts, a transfer to a debit card costs 25¢ and will arrive in the card’s bank account in 1-2 business days. As always, you’ll need to verify your recipient’s identity.
While we can only support U.S. Visa and MasterCard debit cards at the moment, we’re actively working to bring our transfers API to our users in other countries."
Well good luck to Russia, totalitarian fascism would work out great I am sure. There would be millions of Russians spinning in their graves if they knew of what the "motherland" has become.
It makes google sound almost Orwellian, which is not hard to believe considering how invasive their information gathering tentacles are and complete disregard for privacy of people.
A lot of websites could use ipv6 to connect to a proxy/security provider such as cloudflare which would output the site to ipv4/ipv6 end users with all the other bells and whistles that cloudflare offers.
The end user then doesnt even know or care that the website he/she is using is ipv6
Maybe Akamai and other large internet companies (Google, Facebook, Cloudflare etc) contribute now financially and/or with engineers towards openssl development or create an alternative.
This whole thing has been one giant clusterfuck, I myself seen one rather larger alexa top 1000 site being exploited by sessions being hijacked.
Thanks email sent, our service is actually not to dissimilar to tarsnap now that I think of it, anyways that was in the past. Thought I tell people my experiences.
