I think you have us all curious now - where do you live? Sounds like Siberia, except I'd expect there to be more wind.

I've personally had great success with this particular product. At the end of a long day of coding, when my brain seems "burnt out"/fuzzy, 20-30 drops of this in a glass of water has an almost-immediate and noticeable impact (most of the time).
Re:Apple announces Apple Card credit card on Monday March 25, 2019 @05:14PM (#19486802)
The 2.5% cash back USAA Limitless card is not available for new applicants, but still works for existing holders. It is excellent. No international transaction fees, good exchange rates, works great with Apple Pay. If it ever becomes available for new applicants again, I recommend applying for it. Where else can you get risk-free instant 2.5% ROI? That's comparable to current rates for 1-year Certificates of Deposit.
Chances are, the window you want is the window the view is in (which is probably the same as your app's window), UIView has a handy property for that.

I'm probably not the first to think of this, but it'd be awesome to be able to sell bitcoin and have the fiat appear in your account instantly.

Moxie, given your background in cryptography, do you have any ideas on how the Bitcoin community could improve the user experience without compromising security?

Yes, you did. I wouldn't recommend going to the site on your own machine because of the security hole. They should fix this as soon as possible.
If you jailbreak, the percentage batter meter is just a switch away with the free SBSettings app. If you're not interested in doing that, I believe it's just a simple .plist change and reboot (or respring). However, you can also enable multitasking/wallpaper if you jailbreak.

Heh, I remember reading a shameless self-promotion post from you on Slashdot a few months back. Looks like things have turned out well, and I'm considering getting one myself. Nice work!
