You cannot get an eSIM for a Chinese phone number as a tourist; this is a restriction set by the Chinese government.

This is definitely a take, given how easy it is to write a program with security bugs using Solidity due to specific concerns like reentrancy that only exist due to the unique way smart contracts work. The inability to "undo" a fraudulent or mistaken transaction without requiring all validators to fork the chain also makes this a non-starter for many developers.

Also a weird thing to call a "feature" for developers when this actively drives away potential users.

In Blink setHref is automatically bound to C++ code [1]. I think it's fair to say that anything goes.

HSTS is intended for browsers. For API clients the correct behavior (following curl's lead) is probably to never follow/make any redirects by default.

Show HN: Triple Payments – Request crypto from anyone by sharing a link

Hi HN, Kevin and Ben here. Triple Payments is the easiest way to invoice someone and get paid in crypto. Just specify an amount and currency to pay out in, and share the link that we generate.

We built Triple Payments to solve one of the most annoying problems we faced as web3 developers – requesting crypto without going back-and-forth on tokens and wallet addresses. When sending large sums of USDC or ETH, we were never 100% sure that our money was going to the right wallets.

Under the hood, we let payers send ETH or stablecoins like USDC directly by calling standard transfer methods that work with their web3 wallets. If payers don’t have any of the requested currency, we give them the option to pay with a different token, using the 0x [1] platform and our custom contract to swap tokens behind the scenes.

We’d love it if you could try creating a payment request, and look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions!
