29% in Belgium, any idea why they are so far ahead of everyone else?

This is really great, but I am much more interested in being able to test older (9/10) versions of IE as well.

Could you elaborate on this. My impression was that connections between data centres (e.g. in the case of using an EC2 instance with Cloudflare) were already very secure and therefore do not require SSL.

I came here to ask this exact question. Bitcoins will be on their way next week.

It pains me to say this, but most of the time the hackers will ask for payment in bitcoin which makes tracking much harder.

Ah, I missed this part. Thanks

Whats to stop Telegram tampering with the messages and just displaying random bytes in the 'output'? This would make it impossible to crack. You cant test the security of a system without 1 - full access to the system or 2 - complete trust in the people controlling the system (which we dont have)

What happens when they want to return the item? Pretty sure you have to offer a 30 day return policy, I could take the 'free' litecoin, then return the USB stick and ask for a refund.

I also think this is a fantastic idea but further to your comment, its also impossible to determine if you are talking to an employee in a position you may apply for, or someone on the HR department who is trying to attract talent and so may give you a biased view.

I assume they are using a bitpay or similar which allows merchants to instantly convert bitcoin to USD (or equiv) funds at the time of purchase. Using this system, the merchant always receives the correct fiat amount, while still benefiting from the other advantages that bitcoin brings (low fees, no chargebacks).

For anyone who is interested on reading more about North Korean prison camps, Blaine Harden's 'Escape from camp 14' is an incredible read.

This is also the big killer for me. Its nice that they are open about their security http://www.jackdb.com/legal/security.html , but this wont help one bit if a production server gets compromised.

Any idea what causes the spikes in the graph?

Its truly amazing to see such a large bounty for an open source project. Even though this bug poses no security threat, the reward offered is akin to those offered by the big power houses (FB, Microsoft, Google) for providing fixes to critical security issues.

Although I agree with the point you are making, saying "you might be able to buy some crap on the internet with bitcoin" is slightly short of the truth. While you might not be able to live off 100% bitcoin purchases (although some people are doing it), acceptance is growing every day.

A lot of people who are claiming that you will need to pay a large % in fees in order to spend your coins are missing the point.... as bitcoin gains traction, you wont need to convert it to USD first.

Yes, but anonymity on the web makes it much harder enforce these laws online.

Reviews are a tough spot. On the one hand, reviews can be very damaging to businesses, so it is important that some measures are in place to ensure that the review is honest and genuine, and on the other hand its important that consumers can openly review a product/company without being scared of reprisals.

Clearly, in this case, KlearGear are in the wrong, but I also think that there are cases where legitimate businesses have been seriously damaged by competitors, or just difficult customers writing unfair bad reviews.

Unfortunately the only solution to this I can think of would be a review of reviewers, which would just confound the problem.

These guys have been around much longer than Coin. I think this goes to show how much hype being part of YC can generate.

Kudos to both products.

There will be a lot of opposition (much of it valid) to these cards, but I really think its a step in the right direction. I can easily see this as a stepping stone to having your cards directly integrated into your mobile.

I find this a bit misleading. Their post mentions $25/month, but the email I received from New Relic asked me to sign up for a minimum of $199/month for 8 servers

Whats your moral stance on your business? There are a lot of legitimate uses for your product, but its also (for obvious reasons) very attractive to people involved in criminal activities. Will you be putting any measures in place to counteract this?

For example, lets say you were regularly getting orders to a foreign country which is known to be a hot spot for terrorism. Then, you have the police knocking on your door, because there has been a major terror threat in a US city, and they need to track the terrorists phones.

I can guess the answer, but just want to make the point there are usually 2 sides to an anonymous service like this.

Signup is broken.

When I try to sign up for an account I get an error "User already exists". This is the case for any email address I enter.

FYI, your lock icon is not showing up for me, you may want to check your encoding.

I have wanted a service like this forever! Thank you.

I think it might need a bit of tweaking http://imgur.com/FBiL5

Surly this is hugely open to abuse. I could curl requests at a O2 partners site to purchase a ringtone and pass along any O2 number I like, setting the aforementioned headers. Unless the partner site does some sort of extra verification (I have seen no mention of this anywhere), then the O2 number I use will run up a massive bill... Have I missed something?

I know there are multiple HN twitter bots around already, but I have yet to find one that does not swarm my twitter inbox. This bot will only tweet links that make it to number 1 (approx 4-5 tweets per day).

The moment this site suggested I register a domain with GoDaddy I closed it as fast as I could.
