I am not sure why anyone would want to accept Bitcoin via Stripe

Same can be accomplished with Bitpay, who take 0% in fees with a 30$/month package (1% otherwise), they also pay into the bank the next business day unlike Stripe. And they are also alot more open as to the types of businesses they accept.

Or hell one could directly accept bitcoin with bitcoind running locally or using the blockchain.info api and then converting bitcoins with Bitstamp (or just using the bitcoins to buy things, every day more and more places accept them!)

It is great seeing Stripe actually embracing new technologies but imho their current bitcoin "offering" is not great and they are picky as to who they do business with.

edit: ah typical HN fanboyism, vote down anything negative said about Stripe instead of addressing the points raised.

The whole series is worth watching

Right now TV is in its "golden age" but there are no good sci-fi tv shows (hell even the word "scifi" is dirty somehow now, see > SyFy-lis).

Star Trek, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Outer Limits all gone replaced by Vampires and all sorts of supernatural rubbish.

Dr Who is the only interesting scifi show now worth watching, for the most part...

Wow the whole post reads as if they planned it all along.

When it reality it seems like this is a last ditch attempt to save the wreck that google+ has become.

LOL taking 30 seconds+ to even load their page

This anyone considering a "serious" long term business should avoid Paypal, they eventually screw every merchant one way or another, their history is littered with horror stories and business that have grown reliant on then and went under when their funds get eventually frozen over some automated stupidity and no customer support.

1. Can't pay with bitcoin so staying with namecheap

2. Google offers 0 support

3. Google rolls over to quickly to copyright requests, whats to stop them from pulling the domain from under you

No thanks

Thanks to Shitpal I have switched my shopping to Amazon. Ebay/Paypal deserve to die out.

"Just like sending funds to bank accounts, a transfer to a debit card costs 25¢ and will arrive in the card’s bank account in 1-2 business days. As always, you’ll need to verify your recipient’s identity.

While we can only support U.S. Visa and MasterCard debit cards at the moment, we’re actively working to bring our transfers API to our users in other countries."

.... uhm or just use bitcoin ...

Well good luck to Russia, totalitarian fascism would work out great I am sure. There would be millions of Russians spinning in their graves if they knew of what the "motherland" has become.

It makes google sound almost Orwellian, which is not hard to believe considering how invasive their information gathering tentacles are and complete disregard for privacy of people.

Same problem for weeks now, apparently New York is in Iran

A lot of websites could use ipv6 to connect to a proxy/security provider such as cloudflare which would output the site to ipv4/ipv6 end users with all the other bells and whistles that cloudflare offers.

The end user then doesnt even know or care that the website he/she is using is ipv6

btw does cloudflare support ipv6 only domains?

Maybe Akamai and other large internet companies (Google, Facebook, Cloudflare etc) contribute now financially and/or with engineers towards openssl development or create an alternative.

This whole thing has been one giant clusterfuck, I myself seen one rather larger alexa top 1000 site being exploited by sessions being hijacked.
