WePay is in no way related to IceBox. they're terrific guys; don't trash on their reputation.

i left WePay ages ago. also, our info is publicly displayed here:

we're not a company. we're two nerds.

If you were a company, you'd have insulation against lawsuits. Two nerds mean you and your family's assets are at risk; launching an app with such a spectacular security hole seriously puts the two of you and your families in danger.

> we're not a company. we're two nerds.

Oh, so if you get sued for mishandling personal data or PII it'll be your personal responsibility rather than a company's?

The only thing you are right about is that WePay is terrific and I am glad you are not associated with them. How difficult it is to owe up to your mistakes instead of shooting the messenger?

You are clearly not very good at being nerds.

then you may wish to remove that email from your profile.

@smeagol. First of all you fucked up. So stop acting so high and mighty and apologize to rkearney and everyone else who even thought about signing up for your product. Secondly, if this was just meant for you and your friends, don't go public with it and post it on HN. I highly recommend another hobby in a different field because clearly this one doesn't agree with you. Lastly, please stop calling yourself a nerd.

I think you misspelled www.iceboxamateur.com then?
