It's a cool project, I submitted one of my old nonprofits just for fun and it's been interesting to see how pioneer works. I'm curious why you didn't set up a forum for pioneer - was that deliberate? Also, approximately

Hopefully it's private. As far as the legal requirements, I believe in the US it's permissible for debt collectors to contact friends/family in order to get in touch with the debtor, but there are certain limitations (like th

Perhaps, but on platforms like twitter where the default behavior is to only allow direct messages to mutual followers, I imagine they might use an @mention which is publicly visible - like "@newman8r - please get in contact with us, w

I'd love to work on a medical/biotech startup, but the barriers to entry seem so much bigger than a standard SAAS project. It seems like there's some progress towards cloud-labs that could reduce those barriers ( https:/

Do they even charge for taking the tests? I don't see anything about pricing on their site.

Yeah I don't think it's any cause for alarm, and I agree that it's mostly interesting from a technical perspective.

I hadn't thought about that but it makes sense. I wonder if there's any type of plastic filament that could do the job.

Not sure if there's any specific advantages, but I still prefer to use bitcoin when I can - just feels good. It's nice to be able to buy stuff from amazon without an amazon account though, although that has more to do with purse.i

If you never filed the tax returns in the first place or willfully evaded, you couldn't discharge that debt in bankruptcy. Maybe amnesty isn't the solution, but if you're living out of your car and have IRS issues looming ove

It would be nice if I could buy cryptocurrency with my account funds, and for it to be protected/insured while it was in the bank's wallet. The ability to transfer in and out, etc. The ability to make debits against a cryptocurren

Cryptocurrency support would be nice. I understand why that's not going to happen, but if a local bank supported crypto, I might be tempted to open an account.

If that's true then I feel bad for the guy. Would probably be best for the IRS to give people amnesty in that situation.
