Looking for feedback on our new startup. Built in 24 hours on top of tipjoy.
- ivankirigin 19y agoOur goal is to get 50 million users, then making money should be easy.

- Spyckie 19y agoCredibility and visible user activity are the 2 things I think are needed the most as of now. You need to give users more voice other than tipping in order to escalate conflict (which is the driving force of the website, right?)
- ivankirigin 19y agoGood idea. I'll add a disqus thread. [edit: done in 9 minutes. Go disqus!]

- mdemare 19y agoIs it legal to tip candidates? I thought there was a $2000 maximum donation per person per candidate, and only U.S. citizens could donate.
- danteembermage 19y agoTip joy delivers Amazon gift cards so I don't know what the legal implications of that would be.
- edw519 19y agoJust because you can build something in 24 hours, should you? (Don't mean to pick, a legitimate question.) I wanted to use "speed" as the key differentiator in my startup. (We can build it in n days!) The feedback I got was universally negative. The general concensus was, "Then how good could it be?" As hackers, we see the possibilites with all this new technology. But is the rest of the world ready for it?
- ivankirigin 19y agoI just called the FEC. This is apparently illegal. I'm going to take the site down and return the tips.
