Bill Gates is hoping for Polio to be eradicated by 2020 and Malaria within 20-30 years. Also, there's an HIV "vaccine" of sorts but requires taking a pill every day for life (the last I read).

I do like that you can accept credit/debit card there from a domain name that's trusted. And if people pay by alternate means you can manually mark the invoice as paid and optionally add a discount.

Maybe also try taking your random number [0, 1] to a certain power. E.g., square the number. Or randomly choose a max and then iteratively choose a random value between [0, max] and optionally keep repeating. There's probably an elegan

Yes. From what I gather the correct way to generate a random number is described here: https://explorer.etherapps.info/dice ... and some background discussion here: https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion&#x2F

Given that Zuckerberg and Co have access to the private lives of 1 in 7 people, enormous supplies of money, and a giant soapbox of influence, maybe we don't really want honesty--just politeness.

I don't think you should be so quick to dismiss custom protocol handlers. To me that's the correct way to do this. Browsers are responsible for not letting handlers be hijacked. It's already used widely for mailto links. Fire
