I will second this. After using Worldpay for 5+ years decided to shop around for better rates - none! Depending on the level of integration you may have some issues during setup but once live it all goes smoothly. And just 10p fixed for processing debit card transactions! Nothing else comes even closer

martokus | 9 years ago | on: I built a profitable business with a $100 budget

Yes this is clickbait to get him traffic. This is Viperchill, very skilled writer and smart guy who unfortunately makes a living from "get rich by teaching others how to get rich" schemes. There's a grain of truth in everything he says but it's all greatly exaggerated in order to wow the less educated and later sell them something for a profit.

Just type Viperchill into google and watch the suggestions.

It's a sad day to see him polluting HN with his "work".

As the audience here is way smarter than his average followers I hope people with see through his schemes and do not promote him.

Disclaimer: I've outed him in the past.

I quite like the idea however what I personally need and would use, and I'm sure the majority, is how do I get from A to B.

Say I'm earning 80k and I want to be earning 200k. 200k is my goal, what are the steps I make to get there?

Probably part of AdWords Shopping campaigns. The products are already uploaded to Google, why not add another field for direct cart link? Google sends the click there and gets a cut based on the existing AdWords tracking.

Seem quite easy to me and all the merchants would be on board.

martokus | 11 years ago | on: Fuck It, I'm Going Back to Firefox

And just yesterday I had to switch from Firefox to Chrome. Based in the UK and the latest Firefox searches google.com instead of google.co.uk Never had this problem before and seems it cannot be fixed.

Even tried a fresh install of Firefox but no dice. I love Firefox but getting the wrong search results is a deal breaker for me.

Any ideas?

I wonder what is the PCI DSS audit committee doing? I mean the world is fool of idiots that need policing and that's why such organs exists at a first place.

Shit like this just shows that being a PCI DSS level 1 certified means absolutely nothing in the real world.

martokus | 13 years ago | on: French Central Bank password was 123456 (really)

Moreover what is written is not at all true. My manager is French and here's what he said: the guy got that number from the forum. He called and was prompted for a pass so he entered 1234 (not even 123456 as claimed in the article). The line said wrong password so he closed down. However the phone server raised an alert about a failed login attempt so they closed down the line and investigated for a potential breach. And yes 654321 would have worked as well as any other wrong password in fact.
