Giving out the emails associated with their accounts is a really bad idea. Having them indexed by Google is even worse, hence the phishing attempts.

Wow, this company went through YC? I hope they only invested bitcoins... It's one thing to lose people's bitcoins or randomly delay/cancel transactions (both of which Coinbase has been accused of). People know that bitcoin is still young an

Because the exchanges are immature and inherently untrustworthy. Icbit is no exception: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50817.640 Like I said, bitcoin is more of a toy than a currency. If I want to play around with fake money, I'l

Yes, much like every other food on the planet, grains do contain certain compounds that can be harmful when isolated and consumed in large quantities. Did you know fruits and vegetables contain arsenic? Despite what the Paleo crowd would ha

If you ever need to move a file of any kind from one location to another, Android makes it easier than iOS. The fact that my grandmother's cat prefers Meow apps over the ability to transfer files doesn't change that.
