You can get started with 2Checkout or PayPal, get some traction and include multiple gateway support when you are ready to get a merchant account. You could also use a good subscription billing abstraction service to use like ours who do no

I do appreciate what Copycopter has done by identifying the right business that can make it available as an open source product. There is lot of news about SAAS businesses going under recently and this is definitely not a good trend. One re

Legally what you are saying could be right. But what if even this email was ignored as an unsolicited email? Is it right thing to sue them because they have sent 2 emails for a service that was offered free? Definitely not. The right thing

Very nice. Having an option to view "Ask" would also be very useful. Apart from first page of HN, I also check Ask as there are interesting "Show HN" or "Ask HN" topics that don't stay on front page for long.

@patio11 Thanks for writing such a detailed blog on this. As I read your rephrasing of questions, I remembered reading this book "In the line of fire" by Jerry Weissman. There is a concept explained in this called "Roman Column". The key me

They debate endlessly about getting 'enough' customers who may need a feature instead of talking to potential customers and actually finding out. :)
