So was Ireland, were not doing too bad now, thank you

wtf is facecash?

Bitcoin is Paypal biggest threat, Paypal have been ruthless in closing any accounts of anyone attempting to buy or sell bitcoins

And of course Paypal suffers from same problem as credit cards of chargeback and fraud

Yes they do but for exchanges list MTgox is first

for merchant services MTgox is also first despite being barely used when compared to bitpay or coinbase

Its just a shameless attempt to advertise mtgox, who by now pretty much pissed off everyone in the bitcoin community with their crap.

Remember it was mtgox who caused the last crash and have since continued to screw users while getting into all sorts of trouble in US for dodgy going ons

Do you remember when computers used to take whole rooms and apparently "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons." and "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."

Now iam replying to this from a phone

Just saying technologies improve over time, bitcoin is a very interesting mix of technologies, probably the most exciting thing to come along since email, web, bittorent and social networks

I stopped reading there...

Is that right someone transferred millions with 0 fees? cheapskates :D

Buy amazon.com giftcards and buy stuff on amazon, gyft.com and gc4btc.com sell them

btc-e does https://btc-e.com/

You would think an 8billion dollar business would be able to afford a server or two (or datacenter or two) and not be reliant completely on someone else

Downvoted? really? for pointing out a huge problem with Dropbox business model?

Considering that Dropbox are completely dependant on Amazon for their service and overnight Amazon could sink them "ooops your instances just got deleted, oops"

8 billion is a bit of a joke

Now if they owned their own equipment in their own datacenters...

Server and computer parts on amazon, loads of them

It is not bitcoin that is susceptible to heists, the protocol is rock solid!

Its websites coded by script kiddies such as inputs.io by an under 18 Australian who ignore security and then get hacked (or more likely do a runner with the coins themselves) once they get enough suckers to send them bitcoin

I have had bad experiences with Hetzner in past, there are many better providers out there I do not understand why people use them and their cheap desktop based servers and minimal support (even if hardware breaks and you can prove it they drag their legs)

Its 470$ on bitstamp, please ignore mtgox rate, that site is unusable

its not too far behind paypal already and growing rapidly in use http://coinometrics.com/bitcoin/btix

I learned along time ago that you can either write "perfect code" or you can write "pragmatic code" guess which ones wastes less time and puts more bread on table?

I started a long time ago in college with procedural see, moving onto JAVA and .NET and its OO cruft only to realise that instead of helping its slowing me down and come around full circle

Wow, i wonder if bitcoin can be integrated into this somehow

Ehm no thank you, not all of us want to give away such information for personal projects, there are many reasons for people wanting to register domains privately (beside spammers harvesting whois)

What are you talking about?

See the comment above comparing Paypal vs Bitcoin to Microsoft vs Linux

in the long run (10 years) either bitcoin or bitcoinlike replacement is going to trash Paypal in same manner that Linux, android etc is trashing Microsoft now, yes Microsoft still make billions but bitcoin is growing rapidly, many people wrote off Linux years ago too for very similar sounding reasons.

Who cares about Paypal? they have screwed so many people and companies one has to wonder how they get away with it and still are in business

Bitcoin (or bitcoinlike replacement) is the future and the most interesting thing to come out (Technologywise) since email, bittorent or social networks

Any startup that wants to depend on Paypal in any shape or form is only setting up itself for a disaster and world of hurt

Paypal are the scum of the scum, with the most clueless customer support, they act like a bank but are not a bank (well here in europe anyways) and hence not subject to same regulations and scrutiny (what little of those there are) so if something happens to your money with them (and its guaranteed they will screw you sooner or later) then you are f%&cked

so beware!

Oh ok, its just not very clear unlike twilio

edit: those api docs are as clear as mud, no example on how to receive an SMS

No possibility of receiving SMS?

Its a great IDE, but they don't accept bitcoin so their loss

Whats surprising is that PayPal didnt close his account as soon as such a sum arrived

When was this written, both Silk Road and Liberty Reserve have been closed rendering this rather useless
