Just for some further context. Plough is a publication of the Bruderhof community which is Christian but in a much more radical sense than mainstream Christianity (no private property, radical non-violence, etc.).

I've visited their community in upstate NY and really enjoyed it.

You can see how many people are falling for it by looking at the wallet address: https://etherscan.io/address/0x358EF89B4D37f16002cc4A853B321...
Re:Square announces pilot program to accept Bitcoin on Wednesday November 15, 2017 @03:53PM (#15707641)
yeah, those are interesting questions. I assume either they hold the wallet or some exchange they are using behind the scenes.

It would make a lot of sense if you could start using your Square Cash Card funded by BTC. That would be cool from a long term vision.

I've been using the Shift Card for a few months which functions like a debit card but is funded from my BTC on coinbase.

Yes, this is in the Square Cash app not their POS product.
Re:Futures of text on Monday August 17, 2015 @11:48AM (#10073769)
I'm surprised the author left out payments. SMS is the simplest way to facilitate non-POS transactions. We've built our company on that, kindrid.com.
Re:Confetti – Tumblr for events on Sunday April 12, 2015 @05:40PM (#9364833)
I like the site, it seems that your pricing is contradictory.

On: http://confetti.events/pricing

it says: "Confetti charges 5% + 5 SEK per ticket sold (this includes the credit card processing fees and VAT)"

But on: http://confetti.events/features

it says "5.0% + $0.50 per ticket (+ credit card fee)"

I think it's more about incentivizing sharing. Part of that is money but you're not going to make a lot carpooling to work.
Re:Near Miss: The Solar Superstorm of July 2012 on Wednesday July 23, 2014 @09:59PM (#8077889)
So basically the Mayans would have been right?
So, assuming you had an extra $3,500 to blow. What would you most like to have built?
Re:Printoo: Paper-Thin, Flexible Arduino-Compatible modules on Saturday April 19, 2014 @06:41PM (#7615012)
I know this is a basic question. But how exactly does Printoo work with Arduino? Do I need to buy anything from Arduino in order to use Printoo?
Re:Show HN: Siri, open the garage on Sunday April 06, 2014 @05:42PM (#7543159)
Very cool.

But when you say "app" what exactly does that mean? Can it just be a web app that you save a shortcut to? Or is this actually a native app?

Re:Things I Learned In 2013 on Sunday November 24, 2013 @07:42PM (#6791882)
hmmm. Thanks, could you tell me what device / browser you were using?
Re:Things I Learned In 2013 on Sunday November 24, 2013 @07:29PM (#6791843)
I can see how some of it does read as "fluff" or cliche, it probably would be more beneficial if I did a short paragraph on how I learned each point.
I signed up for your beta. Definitely seems like a wonderful idea. Looking forward to trying it!
Re:Apple iBeacons on Friday September 20, 2013 @02:00PM (#6419388)
I have to imagine iBeacons could be more about the iwatch than the iPhone. I don't want to take my phone out of my pocket all the time to check for new notifications. I would glance at my watch.
Being a little generous to say "Wrong", I believe it was a blatant lie.
It would be a class act if Mark Z personally paid him the bounty or maybe if FB employees crowdfunded it.

Then they don't have to admit they were wrong and don't look like jerks. Best of both worlds.

Looks great! Wish I had this when I was in college.

One thing though, you might consider changing "businessmen" to a gender neutral term.
