Basically a bot rip-off of the similarly named Wallaby, which has been in the market since 2012. https://www.walla.by
Canada suffers from not enough banking competition, for sure. The broad breadth of banks in the US issuing credit cards (more than 450!) make a huge difference
We're not trying to make the whole page silly. Just have a little fun so you understand what we're like and see if you might want to join us. It's clear you wouldn't--so that's pretty effective.
Awesome idea. The guy who draws boxes and arrows will work on figuring that out.

Ask HN: Who is the most secure domain registrar?

Following up on the recent story of the $50,000 twitter handle being lost (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7141532) I have been attempting to figure out which registrar offers the best security (e.g. multi-factor authentication) among the registrars that have solid business practices. Who do you recommend as the most secure domain registrar?

In the US you don't need chip and pin. Look for it down the road.
Re:The Wallaby Card on Thursday November 14, 2013 @11:11PM (#6737690)
Card rules vary frequently, down to daily. Also, many rewards have limits (both min and max). Wallaby helps you keep track.

We need to launch in one market first. We intend to do chip solutions in the future.
Re:The Wallaby Card on Thursday November 14, 2013 @11:09PM (#6737684)
Wallaby has an API if any of the smart hardware card guys want us to help out!
Re:The Wallaby Card on Thursday November 14, 2013 @11:08PM (#6737681)
Good points. We have upgraded our encryption scheme since writing this page. I think trying to explain security to lay people and make them confident is a difficult challenge. We'll get this updated and re-written.

Re:Everpix was great. This is how it died on Tuesday November 05, 2013 @01:16PM (#6676842)
I'm using loom (loom.com) and its nice--very similar I think. hope it doesn't go the same way. Yes I am paying :)

Bosses aren't someone to fear. I think investors are overseers of my performance and people to whom I am accountable, therefor, my bosses. I'm not afraid of them. Never work for people you are afraid of.
Re:Don't Start a Company to Be Your Own Boss on Wednesday October 23, 2013 @12:01PM (#6599532)
Yes. Order does not imply anything here.
