Introducing Payment Pages with Nas, Marc Andreessen, and Code.org

Perhaps they should reserve whatever URL they're going to use as an example and in their marketing material and redirect that to the settings (or a sales) page.
Perhaps too, they shouldn't write an <a> tag where the text is a URL and the href is a different URL.
I should add, I really like the look of this as a product. I love the idea that I can simply send someone to a web address and they can pay me. The above is merely a comment on the marketing and a small detail, not a criticism of what looks like a great addition.

http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.htmlPersonally, I think speculators are unfairly targeted. What's wrong or dishonest about making risky bets with your own money? Sure, there are dishonest speculators, but that's hardly an unique trait of the profession.
There's no honest speculation when you think about it. In order for a speculator to profit, somebody else needs to lose or profit less. Speculation changes the natural demand-supply dynamics of a marketplace for personal parasitic profit. In Bitcoin, this is destructive. It makes Bitoin worse than the status quo.
Just one example, because I mentioned honesty... The pitch just recently was that Bitcoin gives you independence from the Fed, Wall St, the greedy banks, etc. Now, the same people, who hold a few bitcoins, and are waiting for one to be worth a million dollar before they sell, get so excited and retweet every piece of news about those who they were supposed to be saving the world from. Same people curse the Chinese when they sell off, but get overly excited when same Chinese drive a rally. Anyway...
