Yeah it's shitty, but it makes sense from a potential attack perspective.  The cost of safety I guses...

I agree with that in everything public, but in private voluntary associations it is the owner of the property (SR) who can dictate the terms for those using it.  I think it's a smart move even though I'm cringing at how much longer it's going to take me to go through my PM's - the threat we are securing against is not esoteric and it is very real.  It's direct violence.

Otherwise I would just buy a godaddy domain and set up a merchant account and start taking CC payments for pot...

I don't have a CC processing merchant account, unfortunately.  Maybe someday if I start operating something overseas.

On that quote: I thought mito came up with that all by himself ;)

yes, im having trouble opening a few pm's at once so I can go thru and answer them, and with confirming shipments...  if I do them in order some will say too many connection attempts.  This is causing a workflow problem for me, maybe you could change the limit to a little bit quicker so I can get thru stuff quickly?

sql limitation would not even come close to stopping an attack anarcho47 i wont go into detail why because that in itself is a security risk

if anything it's just a bandaid to prevent hardware upgrades

For the record you can sign up for one with Square really easily if you have an iPhone... (although it would be a TERRIBLE idea for illegal sales obviously.)
