Thank you! We have plans to build many more frontends in the coming years, so it felt like an appropriate time to step back and see what other solutions were out there.

For the e-commerce part of it, it's a custom API written in Scala that handles our inventory, warehouse, and fulfillment needs. As well as interfacing with Stripe for actual order processing. Want to get that team to write their own blog post as several people have asked about it!

No worries! As someone only a couple years older than you, I have to say, congrats on making the move out there. It seems like you've got a lot of passion and commitment; wish I was in the Berkeley to take you up on the coffee.

It's marked as an email field, and if you enter a random string, it replies "Message sent!". Not trying to be pedantic or critical, I just figured he'd want to know if his goal was actually to gather emails.

I received one of these as a gift once. Played around with it for 2 minutes, then never used it again.

The main issue I had with it was that you had to 'hunt and peck' in order for it to register. Merely sliding your fingers around like on a standard keyboard would just register errant keystrokes.

Also, resting your palms had the same keyboard-mashing effect. It was cool to show off to others, but totally impractical for real use.

Has Coinbase posted a list of the "top 500" colleges that are supported, or are we left to guess? I signed up a few minutes ago and haven't seen anything yet.

Edit: Still not showing up. Kinda scummy to advertise this to college students and not follow through, especially in the heat of finals week.

I'll just say up front that I'm not going to debate your worldview, but your ideas are fucked and it saddens me that people like you visit this website.
