Ternio | REMOTE | Full-Time

Ternio is responsible for the development of Block Card™, a prepaid crypto debit card accepted anywhere that VISA is accepted. We are uniquely positioned as having been one of the first providers approved in the US. We offer a whitelabel, API based solution for third party partners to directly integrate our underlying technology and platform and provide fiat on and off ramps for the greater crypto community. Our newest product is a full fledged, US based checking account. We'll be international by end of Q4 with other fiat on and off ramps. We're profitable, growing rapidly, and get to tackle interesting problems bridging traditional banking and cryptocurrency.

## ROLES

We're looking for a variety of roles, including:

* Full stack generalists specializing in JavaScript (node.js, express.js, Typescript)

* A lead developer (US based only)

* A senior cloud ops engineering looking to wrangle our sysadmin needs (and have a say in devops procedures)

## STACK

You can find a healthy mix of Ubuntu, AWS, Typescript, express.js, node.js, Laravel, Vue.js, Postgres, Redis, websockets, core nodes, and third party APIs and SDKs.

Contact: corey@ternio.io

This is of importance because it's core to Stellar's mission: https://www.stellar.org/foundation

The fact it's tied to a Keybase wallet is important because Stellar's path payments functionality was just launched on Keybase. To summarize, you can use Keybase to send someone any asset they'd like using any asset you're holding, all on Stellar's decentralized exchange. It happens transparently behind the scenes to convert assets: https://www.stellar.org/developers/horizon/reference/endpoin...

If it lends any credibility to you, Stellar was initially backed by Stripe in 2014: https://stripe.com/blog/stellar

For those of you not on Keybase yet, here's the most important piece of information in the post:

"To qualify: you must have a Keybase account registered before this announcement OR if you're new to Keybase, you must connect your Keybase account to a GitHub or HackerNews account that was registered before this announcement. This is to prevent bot signups to Keybase."

I'm slightly concerned about routing my traffic through a non-major player in Anycast when I don't control the routing or software. I'd be worried it's quite an easy target for someone to do some DNS hijacking or packet sniffing.

There's a certain level of trust when I use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. I'm unwilling to take the risk for this solution. I'm not sure what would help in the trust department to legitimize a solution like this.

I would bet on too much screen time for the whole family; seen it first hand. Parents sitting on their devices all evening and not interacting with their children. It's a missed opportunity for learning, especially at a young age.

My two major gripes are that it's first hitting the UK market and it has liquidation fees associated.

I agree with the premise that we shouldn't need to convert to fiat but unfortunately we have to follow the pace of adoption. You could create a POS device tied to a service that accepts crypto-only via chip and pin or magnetic for the business. I'm doubtful many businesses are hearing from their customers that they want crypto only payments, however.

I lead the development of a crypto debit card in the US. If anyone has questions, shoot me a message.

Just a heads up that the YC blog spits out far more data than it should when it errors out. I received a 503 and encountered this:

    Service Temporarily Unavailable

    The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

    Additionally, a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

My theory is that these tunnels are truly being built to support the Hyper Loop. It's only a matter of time before they acquire one of the companies that did all of the R&D work.

Maybe you don't mind about this specific invasion of privacy, but you should be extremely mindful of setting a precedent for future laws. When does it end? What will they be forcing you to do in the next couple of years? What will our children have to endure?

TLDR: your pricing model change lost a customer.

Used to use your paid version until the new pricing model. I don't use it often enough to warrant paying, so I just setup the old version on my own VPS.

I had previously tried both the Aeron as well as the Steelcase Leap 2 for an extended period (+1w) and found I preferred the Steelcase. I purchased one for myself and one for my wife.

It's common to find these gently used on Craigslist for around $200 if you live in a populated area. That's where I got mine. I was able to pick any two from a lot of 20+.

My guess is Amazon wants to rope people into their ecosystem, and they've recognized that many startups have opted for the cheaper VPS providers in their bootstrap days.

This is an intriguing move and one that I'm sure DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr have been fearing may happen.

The pricing is on par with these alternatives in the VPS space.

One of Twitter's problem is not properly controlling their feed. I never use their mobile or web client. I solely use a highly customized Tweetdeck. With this experience, I never once see an advertisement. That's a huge loss for Twitter.

Perhaps it's just me, but I wouldn't have a problem seeing advertisements in my Tweetdeck feed if it meant they'd remain successful. I'd much rather see Twitter succeed as it's the only platform I use to keep up with thousands of professionals and news sources. It's entirely a different experience than Facebook.

I think the Twitter community should suck it up and accept the fact that they get served a couple of advertisements in order to support a news service and contend delivery network unlike any other in existence.

Is this the resolution we've all been waiting for regaring a longstanding issue many on HN have had with how nginx handles PUT/POST/DELETE on timeout?

    *) Change: now if there are no available servers in an upstream, nginx
       will not reset number of failures of all servers as it previously
       did, but will wait for fail_timeout to expire.
