Yeah, quitting the job with no savings is a mistake. The things he could have done better are mainly 1) Proof that people want to play this game. Post the gameplay video on /r/indiegaming, see what people say. I remember the early

How does this not get immediately dismissed by prior art?

Why are you singling out Bitcoin though? All cryptocurrencies are affected by this.

It depends on what you need the server for. For many applications, including web, it's all about efficiency, not speed. And ARM can be quite efficient in both performance per dollar and per watt.

When it comes to accepting credit cards, you can do a bit better, but you will have to deal with fraud yourself. I'd look at the cryptocurrencies with low fees. Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, etc. Building your own solution for some

He's quite clear about multiculturalism and diversity - he is criticizing the premise that pushing the people "who look different, but think alike" is not as productive as progressives think. He wants the diversity of ideas,
