This is huge

And so is the Earth's. The poles have been traveling to meet together in the Indian Ocean

ITS POISON IVY! Do not breath in that stuff! I ended up the hospital with my face all bloated. No kidding. Japanese harvest from the urushi tree containing urison the irritant in poison ivy! I think they get off on shipping this stuff to American's laughing at them.

Who are you protecting? Those who would be duped by it? Are you trying to get rid of salesman? Responding to a dark market with authoritative measures means you're trying to protect suckers. You can't stop people from being victimized. An evolutionary response is the only solution. A graceful decline of suckers is the solution. Do not try to protect them, they will only hate you for it.

Please, this won't give us ufo technology. Quit sperging out and get into materials science stat!

Fighting against your employer is exactly what they want and gives them leverage to clamp down harder. Your efforts are best spent pushing initiatives like the FTCs repeal of non-competes. Corporations have captured our government, our only chance is to take our government back not to continue in fighting.

"caring .. is not enough.”.

Then WTF is enough? Because it seems like you're trying to change my mind so that I have to agree with you.

"listening is merciful and really caring...that is not enough."

China keeps looking better.

The critical feature is you can specify a credit limit and expiry period for each virtual number. By keeping the credit limit at a bit above the purchase amount you dont' have to worry about losing a bunch of money if the number is abused, and by keeping the expiry at 2 months (12 months max) you avoid any abuse channels that would take more than 2 months to transact on the dark market.

edit: And of course you have the credit card company on your side to assist with fraud awareness and refunds. You won't get this with Paypal, Android/Apple pay, and especially not with any blockchain technologies where there is no intermediary working on your behalf.

I keep a Citi mastercard just for the Virtual Account Number feature and use it every time for online and phone purchases. The BofA feature has some severe issues.

Huzzah. Puppet would be recognized for the degenerate mess it is if it wasn't marketed so well. I know everyone has the best intentions, but brogrammers, tech savvy sales and marketing rejects, were the death-knell of quality at all costs. It was hard enough before, but money has ripped the guts out of a fine institution.
