$20 a month for the cheapest plan "save up to 5M tokens", wouldn't it be better to purchase another Claude $20 account instead? Since you'd get WAY MORE than 5M tokens?

So just lock the user? And go back to the login screen?

Does it need an app? "Make noises to shoo away the cat" doesn't seem a killer feature, but good luck with this release.

"Buyee isn’t just an option. It’s probably the most consistent way to do it right."

"This isn’t some modern, streamlined soft‑mod. This is peak late‑2000s PSP scene energy."

"The PSP isn’t just nostalgia. It’s still a genuinely great handheld."

Once you start noticing the AI artifacts, it's hard to keep interest in TFA.

"This isn’t ordinary lobbying or corruption. It’s structural fusion: the same bargain the industrialists made in 1933."

"These paramilitary squads didn’t just protect the movement, they were the movement."

It's not just X, it's definitely Y.

New comment by mdrzn in "Claude helped recover 5 BTC that was thought lost for 11 years"

mdrzn — Thu, 14 May 2026 07:26:51 +0000

  Rather than simply guessing the password, Claude helped dig through the old files and identify an older wallet.dat file that appeared to predate the password change. The user also reportedly had an old mnemonic phrase, which helped unlock the wallet once the correct file was found.

  BTCRecover, a known wallet recovery tool, is designed for cases where users already know most of a wallet password or seed but need help testing variations. Its documentation says it supports Bitcoin Core wallet recovery, among several other wallet types.

So, it didn't actually do anything to Bitcoin. He had the answer the entire time on his machine, it's just that Claude helped him search through his files.

It's not clear to me WHY it was taken over.. Were there issues with the previous owners?

Also WHO are the new owners? The "About us" page has ZERO info on them. I wouldn't touch the new platform with a 30foot pole, so I guess it's time to find a new alternative marketplace.

Edit: on https://www.linkedin.com/in/gongyu/ it claims that the company name is "EEree LLC", in the email it's magically "EETree LLC"

"155.io has launched Coin Flip, a live game built around a machine that flips a real coin and delivers verified results around the clock."

so this is a promotional article for a new gambling game for 155.io? so an advertisement?

Same, just had a Max ($200) account that I had for the last 10 months banned without explanation, which is weird since all I use it for is to code landing pages and write emails.

I keep reading these posts as "I'm sick of Electricity everything".

The parallel is the same. It's a revolutionary technology, and it's being used everywhere because it's NEW. Fast forward 10 years, it'll be everywhere and nobody will complain about "aw shucks, this appliance uses electricity! I miss the good old days of manually cranking it"

...JCip3SJw => Your API key was reported as leaked. Please use another API key.

...afnt0t-E => Your API key was reported as leaked. Please use another API key.

...-UYzYTYU => Your API key was reported as leaked. Please use another API key.

I think they all get immediately reported as leaked and invalidated.
