Glass Hosting Development

Nice original name

Well, 3-4 years ago when I first coined the name 'Blockland Glass', someone named Moby1997 thought making his handle Glass would be cool. BLG came before the player Glass, not the other way around.

Kalphiter made Blockland glass and there's a more recent service called Blockland glass too yo.

Kalphiter made Blockland Cloud. I made Blockland Glass, all 3 times.

And he didn't even make blockland cloud... he just made up the name and never actually made whatever "blockland cloud" was supposed to be

[Metario]

Why? He could just fabricate a name change request and send it directly, no need to run blockland for that.

:(
I haven't studied the authentication system too much, is this possible with just spoofing the user-agent and sending a POST request to the authentication server?

[Zeblote]

Well, sure... everything you send to the auth server is a post request.

He made an add-on, but he didn't get super far.

I've been toying around with PayPal the past few days. They unfortunately take a rather significant fee, but not enough that I need to bump prices. Still aiming to launch at the end of the month.

Stripe seems like a great alternative to Paypal. I've been using it instead of paypal lately because paypal is kinda trash about a bunch of things.

You can also immediately accept bitcoin+credit card payments with stripe without needing any extra work.

[Scout31]

The fees for both turn out to be exactly the same but Stripe definitely seems a lot more robust, so I'll probably end up going with that. Thanks!

Another good thing about Stripe is you don't really need to be 18 or older like PayPal requires.

That's cool, I might try and ask my dad to make a account for me.

[Kyuande]

You do not need an account for Stripe, just credit card information and an email.

Bringing together a lot of important bits, currently working with the Linode API to automatically start up new nodes. I have registration and login complete, as well as an email verification system. None of this has been passed over aesthetically yet, it's just ugly so far. May have to look in to delaying official launch date but it's too early to tell; I may be taking a few clients as test cases by the end of the month.

[Scout31]

Node creation, installation, and initialization are now all automated, which is an incredibly more complex than it sounds.
