The only problem I had about your initial comment, is that someone unaware of the risks would be encouraged to do the same things that caused a gazillion hacks in the past. The option of just having a small hot wallet and a cron script (risking just the amount in the hot wallet at any given time) is probably good enough for most people, and it's a lot simpler than the kind of crypto needed to set up a wallet that can be safely operated in untrusted media. That much is fine. Still, hotwallets combined with limited human resources (can't have someone constantly checking the balance, cannot automate the loading of the wallet and keep that in the server for obvious reasons) usually end up in cutting corners, getting robbed and essentially financing crooks. Cannot go around saying safe, home-made BTC wallet support is trivial for a newbie. If you think so you live in la-la land. It's just unrealistic and conveys a dangerous message, that's all. 99% of HN's readers would be much better off using any of the already put in place payment processing systems and pay them for their years of expertise. |
