Unfortunately common things in one language often mean other things in another language. The author is clearly trying to share this with the English speaking world, (the site is English after all), so it stands to reason that you would choose your words carefully in English.
That is more difficult than it may appear. Sometimes you need people that are pretty immersed in a culture to know about these things and avoid shooting yourself in the foot. Hyundai, for example, almost made the mistake of releasing a vehicle named Kona in Portugal. Kona is a pretty harmless word in most contexts, but "kona" reads exactly like "cona" for a Portuguese speaker, and "cona" is slag for "vagina". Oops. T…
In the general case, yes. But googling for Munt will tell you that it's not really a suitable name for a product.

#63Olodolo.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.
Hi there,
Munt is an easy to integrate and user friendly way to start accepting cryptocurrencies in your website. Munt handles things like email receipts and refunds if payments fail or if the customer has paid too much or too little. Munt is also customizable (more options coming soon) to fully represent your brand's look and feel. Have you tried our demo yet? Love to hear your thoughts on it.

#64Congratulations on the launch! Suggestion: Add credit-card processing. As a developer, I would benefit from being able to implement a single payment integration that let my customers pay how they want to. Credit cards are the obvious biggie, but it would also be huge to be able to e.g. receive European bank transfers as a US-based business. My dream "OmniPay" would also handle PayPal, Venmo, etc. as well, all with on…
Thanks for the feedback!
Re: Show HN: Munt – The simplest way to accept cryptocurrencies
#65Great idea! Some design feedback. The contrast on the signup page is too low - https://getmunt.com/signup - I can't tell what each field is supposed to be. The white on yellow at the bottom of the sign up, and also on your chat pop-up is also quite low.
Thanks, always room for improvement!

#66Great - it is good to see competition to GoURL. The Woocommerce integration in particular is great to see. GoURL's woocommerce plugin is functional but the experience is not the greatest. Good luck with it - I will potentially switch one of my products over to this on a trial basis.
I signed up for an account and have some feedback: * The signup was very easy * 2FA is missing, considering withdrawals will be made through the account if automatic withdrawals are not enabled, that is an absolute must have. * Clicking on "Upgrade your Plan" takes me back to the logged out site even though I remain logged in * I uploaded a logo and I am not sure what it is used for, it's not displayed anywhere. * I…
Hey Andrem,
Thanks for the feedback. 2fa is definitely on our agenda to implement in the following weeks, we do check if the device has been verified or not, so if a new device tries to enter your account you need to verify it in your email.
The logo is used on the checkout pages you create, the plugin can be downloaded from the homepage for now.

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…
Meanwhile “å være munter” in Norwegian means “to be cheerful”.
Lovely

#68So .. how does this actually work? Is it a direct wallet transfer or is it an intermediary? How does it handle unconfirmed transactions? Which cryptocurrencies is it valid for? Does it do refunds? Are there KYC/AML requirements?
Hi there, Munt works as an intermediary, we send the funds to your account when the transaction is confirmed. You can check if the transaction is confirmed with our REST API and PHP library. We currently support Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dash and Ripple. Right now we only refund payments that failed for example if the customer pays too much or too little. We do plan to add the functionality to refund…
Looks great! Might want to double check US regs. As I understand it, businesses that accept crypto from person A and transmit it to person B are considered "money transmitters" in the United States https://www.fincen.gov/resources/statutes-regulations/guidan...

This is something that wasn't 100% clear to me either. People pay money to your wallet address. You verify the amount, etc, and then forward the payment to my wallet. If the person pays in Ethereum, I receive Ethereum (not USD or something), correct?

Hey!
Sorry for the shameless plug - I actually had the same problem so I built a simple product around this, eliopay.com . It integrates with PayPal, Stripe (CC) and cryptocurrencies (with Paybear). Still very new tho (haven't officially launched).
I'd love to integrate with Munt in the future!
