tried the Sherpa link...got nothing for my state. But then, NY doesn't need to be shown how to steer folks to health insurance options. Newyorkstateofhealth has been delivering the questionable ACA goods for a while now.

Why would a guy with no insurance call it "questionable"? It used to offer 170$/mo plans with 1200$ deductibles to guys in my category but now that any strung out hooker or dipsomaniac can be assured medical care, the cost is 300/month and the deductible is 3000$.

Where is the incentive to be personally responsible for your own health and its costs in a scheme like this?

And what if you are color blind? I am not color blind and can't make heads or tails of these paintball shotgun patterns vs the text descriptions.

Yes one objective is to frustrate bots ...but if you frustrate humans, as pla points out, then you are a non-starter. Go back to your room CMU compsci person 'cause I know you are smart enough to do better.

Unfortunately for the average consumer, in fact virtually all consumers, the present scheme for credit card online purchases, e.g. Amazon, is trying to tell you that you can have all 3. What percent of consumers have to take a loss before either they or their card provider's insurance co. pulls the plug on this bizarre bazaar?

i'd pick Secure and Wallet and screw Online...air gap for me.

It does not sound like Nation State Attacker was at work here.
The attack was not so sophisticated that the infosec boys were left scratching their heads as to how the breach was made. In fact, for a so-called vault, Inputs.io leaving up the access to old accounts that skirt 2FA seems sloppy.
And, certainly, having 4100 BTC to spend for your porn and drugs would be motivation to some who are capable of such an attack.

But I assume central banks and gov'ts with propped up currencies don't want to see Bitcoin really take off. Just breaking everyone's trust in BTC is a win for them.

It costs, yes, real money, to keep your information private.
witness the positive and contrapositve:
1. the slow but steady growth of app.net, a paid subscription social web SERVICE/platform [handily the equal or better of /. IMO] that takes a bit of your money instead of of selling your ID-related data [no f**king ads for those of you who can read but not connect dots]
2. the way all the "free" web services provided by Google, Farcebook, (and god knows what Twitter will suck out of you for the stockholder's benefit and turn over to random hustlers)
3. yahoo, amazon, etc...what service have you used for free and then NOT seen strangely appropriate adverts in the side bar?
4. Swiss bank accounts are synonymous with "privacy means not having to pay my share of the social contract"

so, how will the Swiss pay for this service??? or will YOU pay for it in their stead, as a very few of you pay for their banking services?

for a minute there I thought you were going to equate all teh people who do not make it on to Thiels Island to the "Left Behind" Thinking your own daydream of the ideal world is so compelling that anyone not convinced is undeserving of salvation is very commmon.
