When we launched coffitivity.com (a silly but surprisingly popular website) we had about 100 clones come out, a few in the app store actually using our name. We had a little more pride than to try to get them taken down.

IMO it would HELP if some of the USD and other government backed currency transmitters/gateways/etc tried to help with accountability IE - how much USD did we transfer into Stellar in raw numbers today. I'd be willing to part

Anyone interested in setting up instant funding for Stellar with ACH, let me know. We've started doing it with some Ripple Gateways and would love to work with Stellar. tommy at knoxpayments dot com

Is anyone else having trouble with the client? My whole team is trying to sign up and are having a myriad of issues, but I can't submit to the forum because my username and password keep not working even when I make new ones.

You need a COO and if you can afford one, you should hire one. What you appear to want to do, set the strategic vision and lead the team, is exactly what a CEO does. A COO makes sure that vision is executed on a DAILY basis and that's

This is the most unlikely but deserving post to spend all day atop HN. Great, great piece of software, deserving market, it's just great. Our company was originally started to serve my co-founders church as well believe it or not (the

It's extremely sad that this very well reasoned response stating widely accepted theories about racism has been down-voted. Now they're not widely as in UNIVERSALLY accepted, but the race-studies community at the very least would

Are they under-represented in terms of being founders/CEOs/Execs? I don't think I've ever seen that argued.

If you guys are interested in getting these costs down, my company KnoxPayments.com could help. Without credit card fees, it's easier to charge way less and still have a solid system.

One thing I'm glad they didn't focus much on is the fees associated with Bitcoin. Too much is made out of the fee reduction of BTC (I think because it's easy for regular folks to understand) - but that's only a major fac

Check out "working not working" - feel like that should be included. It's a little different market but they're very good at getting people work.

Is this a supposedly true story? Anecdotally as a server as recently as 2 years ago, I never experienced this. As a consumer during the entire iPhone era, I've never seen this. I don't believe this story, it has all the makings of

I'm interested in two things: 1. What would happen if ACH was fully guaranteed minus chargebacks instantly? What is that worth? 2. What would it be worth if ACH was fully guaranteed instantly PERIOD - including chargebacks? What would

Here's the thing: it's not. It's a pretty good herb - but it's NEVER necessary and it's not "amazing" or anything close. It's a good lesson actually: being SLIGHTLY better for 90% of people is worth a

I'm not 100% sure but I thought Mailbox needed access to certain things that are outside IMAP to do what it does. For instance, it makes its own folder in Gmail that it interacts with, and I'm not 100% sure if "Archive"

Seems like Uber is such a company - I can see how "this could potentially create 1 million jobs" would be a conduit for "this could potentially be a win on a scale yet unknown"

Is the reason you (assuming this is the author) use only +BTC for donation because you only want BTC or bc you think you'll only get BTC or because you think only BTC is appropriate to donate to online work?

Thank you for posting this. EFF makes the site seem like purely a forum and it just wasn't - it doesn't change MY personal opinion of this matter (I am against the takedown STRONGLY) but it worries me when people with whom I agree

I agree - being worked on now. We really didn't have a moment since launch to touch up the website until we brought on some summer interns. I 100% agree with you though.

We'd be happy to help at knoxpayments.com - plus your margin would go way up at $0.18 per payment - tommy@knoxpayments.com if anyone wants to reach out. Edit: I realize that they don't want to do the work of integrating a new gate

To YC's credit, it's incredibly hard to sell anything to the YC ecosystem from outside of it, because they already have chosen options from inside of it. Yet another reason to give radical differentiation a shot if you can stomach

I've spoken to every Uber driver that I've ever had, every one in SF was on pace to make 6 figures this year and thrilled with it. Average seems to be 80-100k depending on how much you drive. Cab drivers have to work their asses o

by tomasien 12y ago
Just a clarification: Cab drivers are protesting Uber because Uber takes away their business and there's nothing they can do about it. It's not because they feel pressured to become Uber drivers and take less money - Uber drivers

Depends what you want. I see a lot of both here on HN, advice going both ways. I'm confident we do a good job giving people options - the most important way is that I encourage people to make a habit of only spending 6-8 hours in the o

I told everyone to take off at 4 and watch the world cup. I came back at 6 and everyone was still working (and watching the cup), so I got back to work with them. We're still on Slack squashing bugs and we're all pumped to be doin

The only part of this that is a red flag is what the CTO said about unit tests. You need to know why he said that. An outsourced product that has a shitty tech stack and that growth rate are fixable problems lots of startups have gone throu

You should always consult a lawyer and research rulings in your state - but in Virginia and many other states, the benefit of the doubt goes to a crazy degree to the person signing the non-competes, because non-competes are seen as (obvious

by tomasien 12y ago
Sign the strictest non compete you can - if it's too strict in most states, even the less strict clauses are voided immediately. Research first but that's usually true.
