I think we all know the answer here.

- theturtletalks 7y agoI know what KitSplit will tell you. We provide value by connecting people and allowing payments. Gee, I can give someone my number and accept cash on Craigslist too. If I'm paying 22% of the transaction to you, there'd better be some assurances.

They will pay for all of your stolen gear, send you a T-shirt, and donate to a kitten orphanage. The next person who gets their kit stolen is still fucked though, unless they too manage to make it to the front page.
