   But what would make me to use cryptocurrency with a negative interest rate? Of course all kind of cryptocurrencies can exist, it wouldn't be a surprise if there were already some kind of negative interest-rate model in some of the 100&

   How is this your concern any more? You promised to leave bitcoin scene because it has failed, why don't you focus on R3Coin instead.

   I guess it is up to if the customer wants the dollar-denomination. I wouldn't want that, I would rather keep my cash tied to btc. If the customer doesn't want to tie his wealth to btc, why would he/she want to use bitcoin at

   > things like digicash existed since the early 90s Really? Were they actually usable/used? How/when/where?

   I like opportunists, they don't necessarily make great startups, but ethical and hardworking opportunist usually does good for the world.

   The OP as well talks about "founding a startup". I agree it is unclear what he is talking about.

   I don't care about the REST API, but I care how well the app works etc. It doesn't sound trivial to me. Showing the locations of the car and the customer in real-time, routes in real-time, having all the communication systems work

   Sidecar is trying the different model AFAIK. I'm myself very doubtful that it would work well in practice - as a consumer I don't want to haggle the price in the ordering process, I just want hassle-free ordering experience with t

    What's the user experience like? There is a lot of talk about these "worker-own" apps/networks, however I very much doubt that they are able to compete with the uber level of service in the longer run. You need lots of s

    What kind of equity do you have currently? However remember that the equity is worth nothing if the cofounder doesn't believe you deserve the equity. He can just start a new company. Maybe you can sue him, but that would be idiotic at

    You only explain the benefits from the workers point of view. What about the customer? Why should someone opt to buy work from remote employees instead of having them on-site?

    I would prefer to hire some directly, and pay him directly, instead of suing this kind of site for that. Trustable, reliable cleaners have no abundance of work. This kind of website is good only for connecting yourself to the cleaners initi

    "It's all out there today – and it’s already processing more than five percent of all web requests. " 5% of internet traffic is going through this centralized party? And it is growing? That sounds fucking scary to me. I hope

    Storj, maidsafe at least. There has been some talk about incentivizing tahoe-lafs AFAIK. I think from the altcoin camp there are also more projects.

    OK, why would I believe that IPFS is able to handle this issue better than the numerous other projects trying to implement incentivization? IPFS focus has been quite clearly elsewhere.

    I guess on longer term this is a non-problem, since uber provides the rides and controls the reputation system. So, if the driver doesn't pay the share, he/she gets kicked out of the system.

    But why would the bank reverse the transaction? From venmo viewpoint it is quite clear why they would want to reverse it, because they have changed the credit to actual funds. However the bank probably would want to protect their customer,

    Needs a brief documentation "how it works" or something... I really don't understand the concept, I'm very familiar with bitcoin and somewhat familiar with ripple/stellar. How is the ledger maintained? How do we for

    What is the point of doing any mining at all, if it is unnecessary? Adds just extra complexity to the system. These bankers are idiots.
