   I'm assuming you have an interest in indie bookshops. Where do you go online to talk about them? Where do your likeminded friends go online?

   Would this be Bookshop Crawl? Edit: Looks like it is. You could go asking for feedback on one of the popular indie book forums (assuming there is such a thing). Marketing, at its most fundamental level, is simply placing yourself where your

    Hmm. Now I'm thinking that I might end up using your idea (scraping the dark web) and using something like httrack[0] to do exactly that: structure. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTrack

    I was one in a former life. Now I use my insights to help. You'd be sickened and surprised by how many startups overlook handling chargebacks.

    I see these issues too. To be completely fair, learning about proper hyphenation of compound adjectives was never on anyone's to-do list.

    Financial card fraud; Most of the time someone just hops on a SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy, doesn't have a VPN behind that. We can grab the user's IP. Original discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8949953

    This is so cool. Thanks gwern. If someone's feeling bored, you're welcome to put the entire archive on a web server for us to look at...... Or maybe I'll just do it.

    I see you baked most of everything from scratch as far as your control panel goes. Is there any reason why you didn't simply opt for something like WHMCS and then bake in your own API wrapper?
