I have a large group of friends who all use Venmo and nothing like this is an issue. It doesn't seem like Venmo is the problem, but the character of the people in those accounts.
If you guys are real "hackers", why can't I just log in with my GitHub? I mean I don't want to fill out a custom username/password for your site when all my coding related stuff can be regulated from GitHub Auth.
This guy is selling out hard. Coming from a guy with a more active GitHub and projects, I don't see how this guy is any different than any American college kid.
