Your service...
So this isn't an Ask HN and more of a spam submission.
- prophack 6y agoWhy do you think so? I didn't even post any link. I just explain my idea and I'm trying to get a feedback if it would be interesting for someone.
- gus_massa 6y agoPosting your own stuff here is fine, if you don't repost it too much. For example when Dropbox started the founder posted it as a small personal project here. [I can't find it in the official rules, but there are some unofficial rules, like not concealing that the submitter is the owner, no sockpuppets or shills, ... But I don't see anything like that here.] If I have to complain, I don't like when the title is a question. I'd prefer something like: "Project idea: buying cheap lands with bitcoins as a service" [Is the "as a service" part correct? Is the "Project idea" prefix correct? My version can be polished a lot.]
- techrat 6y agoMy specific issue is that it's a newly created account apparently offering to engage what seems like a money laundering scheme.
- gus_massa 6y agoI'm not sure, but for me it looks like someone overoptimistic that thinks that a piece of paper is enough to "own" some land on the opposite side of the globe. It may be enough to own an apartment in Manhattan, because you pay the security guy in the entrance of the building, and the maintenance fee and other stuff. And you can call a lawyer in case of a problem. But for a piece of land in the middle of nowhere, it's not enough. You probably need to keep the local police station "happy". Anyway, the combination of pseudoanonymity of Bitcoins and the lack of KYC measures may transform this in a laundering scheme if they are not careful.
