    Seriously - if you're not using 2FA then you're just looking for trouble.

    I think this practice is a short-term solution. Every new company that starts accepting Bitcoin does help spread adoption. Eventually, it will mature and the price will stabilize, …

    Nice site, though a few small nitpicks: 1. On the showcase page, I wish I could scroll a little further down before each component becomes greyed-out. In some cases, a question wil…

    While I can understand the excitement of opening up a shiny new thing, and agree somewhat with your assessment that the rep messed up (forgetting the charger and haphazardly handli…

    A little Googling finds the founders - Jason Sun [1] and Ben Yi [2] - both worked at KILLSPENCER [3] before starting Vinted Goods [4]. While it's true that both sites have a top na…
