Hastebin requires an API Key

[lukbukkit]

The new hastebin API requires an API key linked to a GitHub account. This is due to the acquisition of hastebin by Toptal.

This eliminates the simplicity of hastebin and would require some changes to the HasteIt plugin for IDEA-based IDEs. It isn't worth implementing those changes as the new hastebin has virtually no advantage over Pastebin or GitHub Gists.

That's why I'm thinking about retiring this plugin. Any thoughts?

you should start your own hastebin server

There are still some simple successors of Hastebin. I'm partial to pastie.io for example.

paste.io looks like a good alternative to hastebin.com. It might be a good idea to offer users the choice between both platforms for code-sharing. Currently, I don't have the capacity to implement this feature, but that would be a good consideration for the future.
