I think you underestimate the average Joe's desire to save a few dollars... The key barriers I see are having to install special software and getting to grips with Bitcoin. Perhaps it is possible to ship a client with some default blac

When OpenBazaar seems more mature I will definitely consider listing (my entirely legal) items on it first, at least to experiment. Lower fees + I'm happy with Bitcoin = Win.

I kinda hoped the devices would actually serve the apps themselves. I guess a URL makes more sense though. But I wonder if it will lead to physical devices that give 404s when they are obsoleted. Anyway, this seems pretty exciting.

How do you find places to stay, for these short periods? Airbnb? I've been thinking of doing a similar thing.

Blocking of read access is not something I've often experienced before, and certainly not at this scale. Usually it's just one admin blocking an IP here and there, but now, with this job outsourced... To be able to impede an IP fr

In the spirit of hopefully improving things, I'll contact support. It's still scary the power your company has, mind.

You missed: > there's plenty of ways a non tech person might have a shared IP e.g. some mobile internet, university/school campuses, workplaces, shared wifi points. All of which might have some abuse. I guess perhaps not the am

I can understand not allowing me to post anonymously - but to go as far as refusing me read access? Really? Actually tackling the problem, hmm. Storing a single cookie on the cloudflare domain so I only have to auth with CloudFlare once,

I'm going to repost what I commented on CloudFlare's blog, since they don't appear to have published it (yes, I was a little angry. I've had to put up with these CAPTCHAs for the last week): Ha, so much irony, CloudFlare

I would like to see the Ebay of local grocery delivery. Maybe with three components: Buyers, Sellers, and Delivery people (for stores that don't already deliver). Matching people in the local area. Rating delivery guys and automaticall

I pay my monthly VPN subscription with BTC, and will continue to do so. That's not a store and certainly a niche, mind.

So, uh, what's the company? I got me some Bitcoins here. (Partially serious; chances are you don't sell what I need, but if you did, I'd rather support a Bitcoin accepting company.)

And yet... we still did it. Is it simply a matter of having enough aggression, or something, such that we continued anyway? In which case, it would certainly be nice to see more sensitive people of either gender encouraged to take up the su

I felt exactly the same as your daughter as a kid, and I'm a guy. The cause was the shyness, not gender. >even though this kid sometimes yells out answers without raising his hands even when the teacher says not to do this Seems lik

I always feel slightly bitter about stuff like this. As a male, I don't ever recall being encouraged to work in tech. Any geeky pursuit made me the subject of ridicule. There was always a battle with my mother as a child to even be all

The "and" leaves that sentence somewhat ambiguous with respect to any cause and effect ("and so" or "because I" might have swung it either way). But in the further context of: >Dude I absolutely love being a

The classic Ubuntu look I used to love. Almost tempted to try it, though I'm mostly happy with Linux Mint Cinnamon now.

An important life lesson, surely? Actually, I remember now, before Lego I had some large wooden bricks. Building towers and bridges was pretty neat. Playing physics based puzzle games is still great fun!

It really all starts with Lego IMO. Give all children male/female a box of Lego on their first birthday. Either they'll take to it or they won't. Problem solved!

Damn, just when I was starting in gamedev again. But was there really ever a bubble? As long as I remember it's been insanely difficult to succeed. These sort of complaints have been going on in indie developer forums for years . w.r.

Yet another "made for mobile" site. I hate these. Huge font sizes, massive images, wide margins surrounding all elements, wasted space everywhere, floating header obscuring the content. Ugh.

Perhaps they assume all software is buggy, so they may as well own the bugs?

There is a real world cash based economy. A lot of person to person trust exists in that world too. Not everyone is middle class and above, drinking their Starbucks coffees paid for on their credit cards, even in this "first world&quot
