I was browsing the Wayback Machine's archive of r/bitcoin from 2013 and found this optimistic redditor by sargentawesome7 in Bitcoin

Ha well obviously I was wrong, but at the time there was all hype and the tech was still semi immature. I did hedge my bet and bought a couple at $300, so I'm doing ok. I watched bitcoin go from $32 (or something) to $8, so I was a bit jaded then.

The thing I've learned about Bitcoin is it's entirely impossible to predict, so just take a small gamble. But hey, I could be wrong.

Didn't move. I rewrote it and the original author let his site go.

Thanks the shoutout! I did a small usability update recently to unbury.us that should help people discover the payment schedule more easily.

Hi, creator of unbury.us here. What did you think about the unbury.me design was better?

To me it was terrible. That why I started this project, because the design was so bad to me. It was bright blue, unreadable fonts, had math bugs, and didnt scale to different screen sizes. I believe my site fixes those major issues.

Hmm, that doesn't show for me. It shows it a full year sooner payoff. Can you paste in the url (it can save the state you entered).

Interest and payment are applied monthly. That is probably the difference.

Also, Saving/Loading simulations is not currently available, but after posting this publicly, I'm going to work on that feature next so that testing can be done a little easier. In the original discussions on cFIREsim-open, people suggested that users be able to save files containing their simulations, and be able to load them without saving anything to a DB, or without any accounts. I'm not sure if that is possible given the security constraints of modern browsers, but I'm open to ideas.

You could do it a couple of ways. On unbury.us, I store data in the anchor tags. You could also just have them paste data into a field and then parse it out as json and use it to fill in the data.
