The best example of this theory is, for me, Dropbox.

Looks interesting...my main concern with these apps is always battery life. My battery gets slammed even without location updates running in the background.

Indeed. Any startup handling incoming vs. outgoing payments is going to have special issues to deal with. Always walking a fine line.

Great answer. This is essentially what most startups do, it's how Groupon handled things for a long time too (from what I understand). Checks are fine but as a foreigner they seem really clunky and don't work once the company has a greater

Definitely it would. Sending a check seems clunky to me, just curious what other options exist. It seems the answer is none (essentially).

Absolutely agree. One of the prime reasons I asked this question was that although PayPal's chained payments would work it does require you to accept incoming money via PayPal. This isn't ideal in many cases, especially once startups star

I think there is really something in this. It does look like a very streamlined product with nice touches...but they must have executed very effectively. From what I've read there are a bunch of startups in this space, doing very similar t

Thanks Patrick. I am curious as I am in fact an Australian citizen and know that a lot of people have a hard time here when trying to open a merchant account. From what I've read and heard it's traditionally a similar in the US and it is o

Cool. I'm not a US citizen but it's great that you can do this and that Wells Fargo is on board as this is a killer feature in my opinion :).

So Stripe is in fact opening a merchant account fir each user that signs up? I am curious that a social security number is all that is required...why is it such a pain to get a merchant account with a bank or other acquirer? I am curious ho

Awesome. I have been waiting to have a better look at Stripe, it sounds so great. I have a question for someone who might know: how can Stripe operate without requiring it's users to sign up for a merchant account? Do they hold what is know

Absolutely agree. Drawing this parallel is something I haven't considered before but it definitely makes one think. The new music sharing features are obviously reminiscent of Last.fm. I was an avid Last.fm user at the start but I found I q

+1 on this question...I can't see why they wouldn't allow it though.

I would love to know the approach you are going to take for expanding to include consulting and the specific things you plan on targeting to consult on...I am also a web developer and have considered expanding to do the same but am not sure

I am in Australia so have to watch from afar, but I am really keen to see exactly how Stripe operates. As far as I can work out (I obviously don't have a login) part of what will make them brilliant is they enable you to accept payments in

I think starting anything in the coupon space is difficult as it's not about the technology, it's about the sales. Groupon has an extremely simple website...it is merely a platform to display the deals: their success is essentially totally

I'm tempted to move to IRC...does it persist messages? I assume so, based on the discussion above. I'm quite sure that when I've used IRC in the past I haven't been able to see what has occured after I've left a channel but I imagine if I

Thank you. I agree re: the search bar; not such a big deal. YouTube will be much nicer now.

YouTube is very clean. I don't suppose you would share your CSS? If not, I'll do it myself...but it's always nice not to re-invent the wheel.

Definitely agree that it'd be a nightmare for small business owners. Although this implementation does seem relatively easy to game it's a starting point. When it gets to selling to small businesses, simplicity of use is pretty damn impor

Firstly, congratulations to the Punchd guys. Secondly, it is interesting because there are indeed a bunch of other punch-card replacement apps. Even here in Australia I know of at least two. If it's a pure talent acquisition (which seems
