10/10 idea & execution. 1/10 logo seems a bit... too similar to Apollo GraphQL. Down to the font selection?

Now if only we could force all hackathon judges to read this...

Right... I've been working with the BitInstant guys to bring back Dwolla support, and make it better than before :)

Dwolla never had native support for bitcoin transactions. We've always been used as a gateway between USD -> BTC by exchanges such as MtGox, BitInstant, etc.

This is still the case, and is still very much possible and active.

Oops :) Sorry guys. Should've mentioned its US only...

Ahahahahahaha... Wtf?! I've never had that happen before...

It's sort of a joke for April Fools day. I have a very strange sense of humor...

That's totally your up to you... We'll give it to you anyway you want it.

Paypal only lets you send in up to 250 rows, right? We've set that to 2,000 - and also uncap it for trusted users... At 250 records, the fee difference might not be much, but at 2,000 - it can quickly add up to a nice sizable sum, don't you agree?

No no, it was actually sincere. I think that the UK's financial ecosystem is far more advanced than ours in the US... Money transfers are faster, more secure, and there's more of a general sense of progress...

If only the US banking system was as advanced as Europe's...

There are a few services like this out there, but they use the "old rails" (e.g Paypal, ACH, etc), and they charge fees per batch, as well as per transaction. So yes, there are similar things, but all of them are wildly more expensive...

I think @skeletonjelly's point is that the reverse engineering of ObjC reveals much of the original unobfuscated source coude, thus giving away proprietary data?

Well, the real point of what I was trying to say in the article was that Twitter had publicly stated that they're moving to an API oriented architecture - meaning that the web client is merely just another API client. That, coupled with the non-conforming-UX API key revoking acts recently, made me question the legitimacy of their statements...

You know, I carefully read Twitter TOS before writing this article, and there is absolutely no mention prohibiting the reverse engineering, or decompilation of their software.

Unlike others, Spotify for example, who explicitly prohibit such actions in their TOS...

I don't believe I did anything illegal here...

Actually, its at 9:30AM EST...

Actually, they do. Maybe not legally, but practically, Twitter owes many of its users to a handful of successful API clients. You can't just "use" developers (or, companies) to build up your user-base, and then as soon as it gets convenient for you, just ditch 'em all together...

Seems to run decently on my Mac 10.8

I actually just rolled out a new Dev portal at Dwolla. He I it out over at developers.dwolla.com. I tried to make it more of an integration portal, so that there's something for coders, but also for non tech people trying to figure out if Dwolla is right for them.

Mainly tho, I think that the 4sq model of being able to try out every method on the fly is super important to devs...

July 19th is the day before the new Batman movie comes out... Batman... The Riddler... Could be a movie promotional stunt?

Oh I like this! Good idea. Removing jQuery now...

You can really solve this in a number of different ways... jQuery is just the easiest way because I've included a basic snippet there...

The puzzle part was merely a way to weave out people who can't even figure out basic documentation, and disrupt the workflow of those who can during hackathons...

This isn't necessarily an AJAX puzzle.. You can solve this by using CURL, WGET, or simply pointing your browser to the endpoints...

Actually, its a POST, not a PUT :)

The point wasn't to make it super hard... Just hard enough to ensure that other coders won't waste their hackathon time teaching others how to code...

Good catch! Can't fix it though, so I'll have to resubmit...

At this point, the internet may as well be dead to me.
