This, we went with Stripe before but apparently hosting is too high risk and (they claim) their banking partners did not want to do business with our little Irish startup. No such issues with bitcoin

Well the problem is THAT DISCUSSION OF SOLUTIONS to bitcoin issues are being censored, with key people being banned from the usual discussion forums

A decentralized currency where the development, mining and discussion is controlled by less than a dozen people which is a joke

Should have used Mozilla Persona for login /s

I was using it for years on our sites, IT IS very easy to implement for a developer, especially easier than dealing with oauth oddities from google,facebook,microsoft etc

Yes one can program own username/password etc login, but it is actually alot of work making a proper one with all the edge cases (, password strenght, email validation, verification, account recovery) and so on and so on. I know because I have done it dozens of time and each time the project has slightly different requirements

Mozilla Persona was dead easy to implement on the other hand! Also alot of people did not like and complained about having to login with Google, Facebook etc yet the same people had no issues trusting Mozilla due to the goodwill they built up with firefox and their fight for privacy

Is Bitcoin and/or paysafecard an payment option? all that talk about privacy is kinda silly if can not pay with (Semi)private payment methods

So his plan by ending the crypto war is.... ...simply capitulating? anyone else clicked on article expecting some new crypto coommunication idea

Just dont call it SKYNET, you be sued by Hollywood then for copyright infringement or something...

I keep hearing about Helium 3 mining but do we actually have fusion reactors nowadays (or even in next 10 years) that can use Helium 3?

So you chose "representative democracy" option by having the distro maintainers decide for you

At least bitcoin gives options to chose...
