I don't know the answer to that, but this is the same problem any new fintech company suffers. Regulations often benefit incumbents and don't scale to new services testing the market. See eg anything related to bitcoin. How much d

It's a shame. How much did the SEC spend chasing an unfunded startup? EDIT: I don't expect to stem the downvotes, but the SEC's time is better spent policing large-scale financial crime. Consider the opportunity cost here.

Eh, there are a ton of news organization in the space that don't put a positive spin on bitcoin companies. Coinfire has been focused on the Garza stuff, Two Bit Idiot broke the Gox story... not sure why you'd think ZapChain is a

I used to read the Neo4j source (I wanted to write my own graph database). Then I was always reading the Django ORM source as reference for a Neo4j / Django ORM integration I was working on ( https://github.com/scholrly&

Put on some headphones. There, your rights are no longer being infringed! One citizen doesn't have a greater "right" over a public space than another. The frequent abuse of the term kills me.

I deal with this every day. Eventually we gave up on the proxy pool idea, and started running the headless browsers in the pool as Selenium nodes. It's definitely not easy- for example, we've also had to build infrastructure that

I agree with you about centralized versus decentralized solutions, but ChangeTIp clearly does NOT want to supplant bitcoin- they do their best to keep wallets small, and aren't trying to be a "bitcoin bank" / replacement

They've suddenly grown a ton, and they recently raised a round. EDIT: My point being, most people are just now hearing about them :)

Have you ever maintained a reasonably popular OSS project?

Catchy, but inappropriate. If there were a free market way to reset the playing field, I'd certainly prefer that. But I've yet to hear one, and crony capitalists are a problem as much as statists.

Pro-neutrality libertarian here. I used to think my philosophy precluded net neutrality, then I looked into how these companies became entrenched- and it was by government support. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

My first startup failed after a couple years. My co-founder and I were pretty worn out, and I had some medical issues. After a month of recovery (both from the biz and med stuff) I started contracting at two promising startups half-time. I

Similar situation here. We mitigated their primary concerns from our last interview, but didn't get the interview this time.

I've talked to CEOs that make offers focused on the number of shares / $ amount. They were happy to reveal the total size of the pool, when asked. I think if they didn't, that'd be an issue.

I'd love feedback on the design of the landing page, the brand, or any marketing ideas you might have. We want to appeal to long-time bitcoiners and newbies alike.
