I’m the last person to jump on the bitcoin bandwagon, but this is one case where I think it’s warranted.

A chilling effect on free speech. Real alternatives to paypal and credit cards need to enter the market.

"The Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) and Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) are the U.S. Senate and House bills that as…

Genuine question, MindGeek[1] is a private Canadian company, why are they subject to U.S. law if they build payment network outside of US? [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MindGeek

The issue here is that it needs to be easy for a person viewing their credit card bill to know that they paid for something... and not be super weird. I had a buddy who nearly did a chargeback against a club that put "E 11 EVN" on his bill... name is Eleven Club.

>I had a buddy who nearly did a chargeback against a club that put "E 11 EVN" on his bill... name is Eleven Club. Are you sure the name isn't "Club E11Even"? Because there is a rather famous strip club in Miami named E11Even (pronounced Eleven).
