I doubt any system can be 100% secure. There are always people trying to crack these things, and with LSL code its much easier.

Thats sad. So a merchant tries to be accomodating by paying $52 for a secure gift card system so their customers can give gift cards out, the system ends up in the midst of a security glitch and said merchant has either been ripped off, or has their doors wide opon to a huge rip-off frenzy, merchant gives customers a week to use the card, and gets shit for it? Nice. Do the people commenting even realize how serious of an issue that bug is?! Everyone I know pulled the system right when they found out about A) the bug. and B) the card copybotters. Yeah it sucks for those who now can not use the card, but such glitches could run someone out of business. Unlimited free product to anyone with the card. Hopefully everything is fixed soon so merchants can offer the service again and those with the card can use it. @ BYB

There have been brazilian (Surprise, surprise) copybotters who have went around to many popular shops who use the system, cloned the cards (it also kept the TMC creators name on them), and go around selling them. For instance, they will sell a card worth $1,000 for only $200. So a customer can get $1,000L worth of product in your store by paying the copybotter only $200. So both the customer and coybotter walk away happy and the store owner gets nothing. Many shops have been ripped off this way and many have taken down the system because of it. Supposedly sales on the TMC system have been stopped until a more stable version is made. Kind of…

I understand from the post he made some bad decisions but contacting a business owner and threatening them right off the bat like that is ridiculous IMO. To me thats like when people contact a creator and demand a refund instead of opening their mind to the possibility the faulty product could be fixed or replaced.. Its offensive. Of course, i dont know the whole background story to this or what Sion has been doing so perhaps Aeryn Raus response was needed. But if not, she could have just asked what he planned on doing for the loss he has caused many customers. Hmm this kind of reminds me of what is going on with those TMC gift card systems that no one can use anymore that were $52 USD a piece.
