Great job finding a niche in the beer industry, sorry it didn't work out this time. Do what you already did: find a product or service that you think people want, test your theory, and build a business around it. Sell something you have an

I imagine anyone worth bringing on is busy working on their own stuff. It's in your best interest to explain your project. Most people will see your post and not contact you. They won't contact you, and you won't get the opportunity to show

If you don't want them to transfer it for you then you can either hire someone or do it yourself. Either of those 3 ways require your login details.

It's a matter of "Do I want to spend the time necessary to accomplish X?" Impossible is a very strong word, like hate. Very few things are impossible.

It's a long drawn out process no matter how you look at it. The elements of your design have to be broken down and translated into code. Not just any code though, code that works on all major browsers and operating systems. The same change

I'm using Photoshop CS6 and I haven't had any of the problems you describe. "Save for Web" supports 8-bit PNGs. Exporting layers with a sequence of 4 commands isn't a burden. My Mac Mini loads up 100MB+ files all the time with no problem. I

Unique salts have to be stored somewhere. A common practice is to just use another piece of information associated with their account. The purpose of a salt is to make various bruteforcing attacks difficult. It doesn't do much if someone ha

A random person shoots it down and you simply accept it? Get some thicker skin! You will definitely need it. What if he is wrong and it's really worth $10,000? Happens all the time.
