SoylentNews is people

Sometime recently, something in our setup (or in the bitpay API) changed and left us unable to receive notifications of bitcoin payments. The bad news is the payments still went through but the subscriptions were not rewarded on SoylentNews. We realized the error and credited the accounts (there were only 4 such cases) giving extra subscription time to make up for the error.

Bitcoin subscriptions are temporarily disabled until we can work out exactly what happened and avoid it in the future.

Thank you, and our apologies for any inconvenience.

    Yes, but, you're being rational. We aren't rational with junior personnel, we only keep them around to blame things on. I mean - why does any sane man have children? He's got to have someone to blame for the disappearing cookies, the missing ice cream, the broken window, the dent in the fender, etc ad nauseum. If we couldn't blame stuff on kids, we'd never HAVE any kids, right?

    You heard NCommander - put mrcoolbp in the dungeon with the Perl code books! And, change his name to mrcollperl, that will teach him!

    Meanwhile, if we can raise a half dozen volunteers, we can do a raid on bitpay. I don't know what we'll do there, kick their dog, steal their API, and tip over their vending machines maybe. We'll think of something.
