   I love the concept, but can't get over the limited lifespan of this type of device. We built something a little more basic last year - https://loseproof.com/

   Definitely - that's a great idea. We're currently looking in to a few strategies (aside from selling direct to the user): - enterprise/businesses - education (colleges & universities) - manufacturers - insurance providers

   Sorry, that is really confusing – it looks like copy left from an earlier iteration. Thanks for pointing it out.

   I haven't heard of TrackItBack actually, but we know there are a few very similar products (TagBak, GadgetTrak, Tracer Tags). The problem is they're just so clunky - something we think we've solved pretty well.

   Good question – one of our main aims with LoseProof is to keep your personal information secure (phone number, email address, home address etc). Although a lot of items get lost relatively close to home, you're right – we're looki

   Glad we've inspired you :) Loseproof is really geared toward people who want an out of the box solution – easy to signup, easy to protect your stuff & more secure (it's anonymous). We'd also love to know where you can get

    Yep, but Tile costs $20 a piece. LoseProof is much simpler, cheaper & allows people to protect items of low physical value, but high personal worth – forever :)

    I prototyped something exactly like this a couple of years ago but I really struggled with converting human readable times (I'm not a programmer). Looks great! Subscribed.

    https://loseproof.com - a little side-project we launched a couple of weeks ago. It's a low-cost, secure and simple way to protect things that are important to you. We've started with stickers for now, but are looking

    How do you mean?

    Certainly seems to be. I believe most sellers set their asking price according to the MtGox latest, or just under that figure.

    Yep, same here. Recently used https://bitbargain.co.uk (no affiliation at all) to get myself a couple though, and was surprised just how simple it was.

    Good question. Immobilise focuses on stolen rather than lost items, and relies on contact with a participating Police force. One of our main aims with LoseProof is to make the process of recovering a lost item quicker, easier and more conve

    I think you've hit the nail on the head here. So many people here in the UK live within a few miles of some amazing independent food producers but use them rarely, if ever. That's the problem we want to solve. We're definitely going to tigh

    Thanks for pointing that out. Terminology is certainly something we're trying hard to get right – buyer, consumer, shopper, foodie etc.

    Thanks Tom. Really appreciate the feedback. We're getting a privacy policy & terms in place as we speak. We'll look into what we legally need to have on the site too.

    That's a weird one. We're using Mailchimp to handle signups right now & it looked like they went down briefly just now. Should all be fixed now :)

    Thanks very much. We've renamed the post to clarify what we do.
