For a moment there, it seemed we were witnessing what http://www.mongodb-is-web-scale.com/ had prophesied:
"Now I've contracted hemorragic e-coli from cleaning cow stalls and I'm bleeding out my asshole. I'll be dead soon, but that is a welcome relief. I will never have to witness the collapse of the world economy because NoSQL radicals talked financial institutions into abandoning perfectly good datastores because they didn't support distributed fucking map/reduce."

You might want to improve the page load speed. Some quick thoughts:
- load above-the-fold content first
- combine the JS to a single file
- include the country flags and other small icons as inline base64 PNGs

Re:Show HN: Errorception - High performance JavaScript error tracking

How, precisely, does your service interact with my code? What does an error report look like? This should be on the front page.
Also, "How can I pay for errorception? I'm working hard on getting a simple enough payment mechanism in place, that plays well with the laws of my land. As you can imagine, I need to start making money soon enough, and this is my top priority right now." doesn't inspire confidence in your product's reliability or half-life.

Eliminate? That assumes you can trust both Amazon and the CAs. For some products (Tor, Bitcoin...), that's insane.
