    While I agree, this is trolling, and it's not helping maintain a quality level of discussion. I'd recommend deleting this comment.

    How does rambly spreadsheet-dump have 34 points with no comments? I don't get it. I understand friends bumping a submission one or two votes if the content is legitimately interesting, but why try to blast to the top of news.yc? Have you tr

    Summary: blah blah blah $2,519.01 since February. TipJoy hasn't taken off because: - A: can't withdraw money - B: can't respond to payments with software (also, see A) The founders probably haven't blogged because they are raising capital
