  1. "Bitcoin support is a risky business that could simply fail at any moment. It's a stupid idea..." What makes you say bitcoin could fail at any moment? Thats quite a bold statement and billions of dollars worth of investments show that many would disagree with you on that one. "Why are you worried about seven or eight Canadian dudes in a house..." Its not about that, I'd trust them with my info, sure, but this is matter of principle. I live in europe, it would be ridiculous to send a letter to my house. So they don't need my address. There are better ways to transfer money, bitcoin is faster, easier, safer and cheaper for both parties involved. Especially because LTT is a cutting-edge-awesome-technology-checkoutthesefeatures-style channel I'm kinda dissapointed to have to deal with their stonehenge of a store.
  2. Hi, this is important enough for me to write my first post on this forum. I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and wanted to give something back to you guys. So I smugly click the link to your donation page and read the goals while smiling in anticipation. But when I decided to actually donate, things started going downhill. Why can't I choose the amount I want to donate? Oh well, I thought, the amounts they allow will kinda work for most people, so that's okay. Alright, add 25$ to the cart, click 'view cart', check that there is definetely just one item in the cart and then click 'checkout'. Whats next? ... Billing information! First you force me to go through page after page of checkout dialogs and then you expect me to give you my address information! Even the phone number is mandatory. Thats just great. Alright, just to check out what comes next, I put 'test' in all fields and click 'continue'. Here we go, confirmation step! But wait, I haven't even chosen my payment method yet... I heard you mention PayPal during the WAN-show, but I see no logos or any other indication of paypal anywhere... And I don't really want to sign an arbitrary contract with you guys and give you my address. So I have to give up! Now not only have I not donated anything, but I'm also slightly pissed! Your checkout system is older than the universe and is far from at par with the quality of your videos. But thats not even the point I'm trying to make. C'mon, you're a tech-company, add Bitcoin support already! I would have expected simply a bitcoin address with a QR-code that I can transfer some BTC to instantly and with reasonable anonymity. Sorry for barging in here with only criticism in my first post, I still love you guys! (Just not quite as much anymore. ) Philon tl;dr: Please add a Bitcoin-Address to your donation page!
  3. I'm really interested in the 2k display. I realize it doesn't seem that useful for such a small screen, but it should push app developement in the right direction. Funny to see that smartphones have now overtaken standard PCs in terms of expected resolution! Go G3! Would love to write some apps for android, if only I had one....
