This is really awesome. I've been using Heroku for a while now, and the service just keeps getting better. I think their platform API is actually one of the most underutilized tools out there for building really cool stuff. Last year a

Sorry for your luck. If I were you, however, I'd hang onto the Bitcoin you have. If it continues to gain adoption, those coins will rise in price again (don't let temporary drops get to you too much). Good luck!

Correct. If you're running more than one dyno in an app, however, there are no 'timeouts'. If you're trying to maximize your free dyno usage, however, you might want to use the 'heroku scheduler' addon, and hav

I like the premise of this app. Being able to easily convert random webpage text into Markdown could be incredibly useful (at least for me). Good stuff!

This is a pretty accurate depiction of my everyday life. It wasn't until a few years ago that I suddenly noticed everyone was always on their phone -- all the time -- myself included. Since then, I've been trying to be conscious

Congrats, Kenneth! Requests is one of the best Python modules ever written, and I use it (literally) every day. Good stuff, man! <3

Oh man, I really enjoyed reading this because I've felt the exact same way most of my life (as a matter of fact, I still do feel this way quite often). Dealing with people is incredibly hard because everyone has biases, experiences, an

I really love delorean. I've come to use it in more or less all of my projects, and it's always a pleasure to integrate: really simple, painless, etc. Great stuff. Would highly recommend it to any fellow pythonistas.

I'd love to use something like this. I run several API companies, all of which have some form of affiliate program. Would be really convenient to have a simple API to send affiliate checks every month, instead of handling it manually.

We've added Bitcoin support since this comment was added -- but if you look at our website copy now we've revised it to pushed users towards using Bitcoin as the preferred payment medium.

by rdegges 13y ago
You can do either. This is our MVP and we didn't yet have a chance to write all the copy the way we wanted. We're working on improving the site / product a lot, and will definitely talk about recycling. We're also consid

UPDATE: We now support Bitcoin! ^^

by rdegges 13y ago
We're hoping that once we start accepting Bitcoin a majority of purchases will be done through that medium. We've got copy prepared which urges users to pay with Bitcoin due to security concerns, and should have this up tomorrow.

This is 100% due to us launching earlier than expected (with all the press about the NSA stuff). We're implementing bitcoin purchasing right now, will have it ready by tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience =/ I realize it's n

Not sure what I can do to prove this to you since we just launched and don't have much of a history, but I'm happy to answer any questions. I'm a programmer at a telephone company currently, and have worked in the telco indus

Working on this now -- we should have Bitcoin support by tomorrow.

Hi ISL, We're totally aware that we need to be a lot more explicit and include more information on our site about the product / processes / security stuff. We've been working on this for a while now, but kind of rushed t

Hah, no. Myself and my partner both work in the telephony industry, and are familiar with the name 'burner phone' (sounds kind of cool, usually refers to those spy phones that get thrown away in movies).

by rdegges 13y ago
It starts after you turn the phone on for the first time -- you can purchase these in advance and activate them when you're ready to use them.

This is really interesting -- looking into this now.

Thanks for the comment! It's all US only right now, we're going to include a coverage chart shortly (we didn't expect so many visitors). We piggyback off many US carriers, so our coverage is excellent.

by rdegges 13y ago
That's correct -- it's definitely not perfect, but we're working on it. One of the things to keep in mind, however, is that even if you order this phone and use it, it's highly unlikely that any organization will be able

by rdegges 13y ago
Correct -- we literally keep no information here, so it's impossible for us to give information away.

We don't keep these records -- after we ship we destroy it. The USPS would have records for this sort of thing, of course, but you could also have items shipped to PO Boxes, places that offer greater anonymity, etc. Furthermore, it&#x2

We're adding bitcoin right now (will be available in the next day). We launched this early due to press on the subject, which is why it's not as polished as we'd like it to be =/

16 hour talk time is the amount of battery life you'll have if you're on the phone for 16 hours nonstop talking. You get 30 days of unlimited talk / text, so if you talk for more than 16 hours on the phone you'll need to
