Yeah, I'm using Claude to help me write responses. English is my second language and I'm nervous as hell about this thread. I'm reading the comments, figuring out what to say, then using AI to help phrase it properly. The tho

I understand the skepticism completely. How about this: I'll do a live Zoom session where I: - Deploy the entire stack locally - Walk through the code - Show the admin panel, monitoring, databases - Answer any technical questions - Pro

UPDATE: I'm pulling back from seeking Western partnerships. Multiple commenters have explained that even the "contractor + equity" structure violates sanctions and is illegal. I genuinely didn't understand this - I thoug

You're absolutely right, and I apologize for the confusion. The demo is a single-session system (designed for hotel lobby kiosks where one person uses it at a time). If someone else is talking to the avatar when you visit, you won&#x27

Thank you for this thoughtful response. You're raising legitimate concerns I may not fully understand. Let me clarify my understanding (and please correct me if I'm wrong): My assumption was that a structure like this would be leg

Ha, fair. Yeah, the skills mismatch is real. I can build distributed systems with 4-server architecture, but I can't open a Stripe account. That's literally the post. "I'm good at X, terrible at Y (geography), need someo

Great question. Why enterprise: B2B customers pay $500-5000/month. Consumer would be $10-50/month. I need fewer customers to survive. Why not crypto: Tried that. B2B accounting departments won't pay recurring subscriptions in

You're right, that's a risk. GitHub has deleted Iranian accounts before under OFAC compliance. My calculus: Being transparent about my situation is better than hiding it. If they delete my account, at least I tried. The alternativ

No, I'm not asking anyone to bypass sanctions. I'm looking for a partner/co-founder OUTSIDE Iran who would: - Register a US/UK company (legally) - Open their own Stripe account (under their name/company) - I work as

You're 100% right. This is a classic mistake. I should have validated with 5-10 customers before building the full enterprise stack. The monitoring, analytics, multi-tenant architecture - all premature. My reasoning (wrong in hindsight

Fair point - I should have made it clearer. The demo is at https://ps.neoclerks.com:8451/player.html?ss=f2ee51d8-2ea3-4... scan the QR code with your phone, and your phone becomes the microphone. The avatar responds on scre
