Same logic applies, "jsmith+mnmnmnmnmnmnmn696969696969@gmail.com" then. Add a filter to discard email to that address unless it's from Coinbase. Done.

Agreed, this is unusable for us until there's international support. We have a large percentage of international users in 130 different countries. Doesn't make sense to use this over, say, MapQuest.

I found this to be inspiring. The "if all goes well" outcome is that you pour a decade of your life into your venture. Be prepared with that knowledge to knock out the naive stumbling blocks going in, and then go be that one person who get
