benedictlewis··on Coinbase adds support for Litecoin
I work with GABI [0] who operate a regulated Bitcoin fund based out of Jersey. They also operate XBT Provider [1], which offers BTC exposure through COINXBT [2] on NASDAQ. If you're genuinely interested in setting up a cryptocurrency ETF, either Jersey or Sweden both have a solid legal foundation.

benedictlewis··on Show HN: Veropost – Charge people to send you email
I don't give out my email at all really, but still some stuff arrives so it would be good to be able to see whether I want to read it anyway, even if the only preview is the from address.
benedictlewis··on Show HN: Veropost – Charge people to send you email
Is it possible to view emails that haven't been paid for so you can check whether there's something important?
benedictlewis··on Amazon acquires meeting-productivity startup Do to expand Chime
From their shutdown blog post [0], it looks like they gave users just 9 days warning before they deleted all user data. Also, the login link (still present in the header) takes you to a page they seem to have forgotten to add content to [1].

benedictlewis··on Show HN: Get email notifications for new products and sales on ASOS.com
This is a little side project of mine. I buy a lot of clothes from ASOS, however often forget to check for a while and end up missing sales. This site will send you an email notification whenever:

* New products launch for a certain search term

* Products within a search term change price

There is also a public listing of price changes [0] (only shows price changes for searches that members are already monitoring). I've already listed several example trackers, including one for the brand 11 Degrees [1]. Email notifications are formatted to include a preview of the product, price, and links to ASOS [2].

It also automatically detected products which have been sold out, and then relisted if more stock comes in, marking them as stale. These products are usually only available in one or two sizes, with very limited stock.
