Ignoring the name (which everyone else has commented on), this looks nice. I like the colour scheme too; it reminds me of custard. The simplicity of the dashboard is pretty refreshing and it looks well documented for a new product.

#13I'm dutch with a pretty good grasp of english and never knew "munt" was slang or offensive. You learn every day.
Same here.
In high school (so, decades ago), we found the word "tight" as a graffiti piece on the school wall one morning. That was the day I learned it stood for "drunk".

#14That... is an unfortunate name. I would really encourage people to google a word before choosing it as a product name.
I'm aware of that yes, really unfortunate . Thanks for the feedback.

"munt" is the Dutch word for coin.
Interesting, so since it is/was used primarily in South Africa and Afrikaans has its roots in Dutch I'd guess that's actually the root of the derogatory use as well. As in "people traded with coin".

#16Hey guys, I'm aware of the unfortunate name of the product. Munt actually means coin in Dutch. So my apologies to people I have insulted.
I will change the name as soon as possible, if you have any feedback on how to name it next, that would be appreciated.

#17Olodolo.com currently uses coinpayments.net for this. What benefits do you offer over their implementation? I have actually been looking for a nicer system to switch over to.

Munted also means getting incredibly and unxonrroballu high on drugs in Aussie slang.
Perhaps Minted if you want to keep the name similar?

"munt" is the Dutch word for coin.
But it's derogatory in English https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/munt
Probably unnecessary nitpick, but here goes: the actual derogatory term is "Munter" rather than just simply the word "Munt".
For example, I saw [INSERT NAME HERE] and they were looking like a total Munter. when it is used in a derogatory sense I think it is more often used when talking about [INSERT APPROPRIATE PRONOUN FOR PERSON WITH VAGINA HERE], but as far as I'm aware it can be applied to both/all/neither/X sexes/genders/species.
ETA: This is my second edit because apparently I don't understand how HN works after all this time. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

A munter is also someone who takes drugs, it comes from the context of taking pills at clubs - a munter munting gets munted.
