Bad signalling to insist on 6 months. Unless I'd worked with someone already, I'd be extremely wary of signing away a quarter of my business to them within such a short period of t…

I agree. Four years ago I dove deeply into blockchain and token models for a marketplace project I was working on and failed to find any startups or initiatives that looked anythin…

Other than large enterprise DeFi projects (e.g. JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs etc) are there any blockchain applications aimed at the B2B space? I'm struggling to find anything that I'd…

Changing the 'birth' date of a Twitter account to anything less than 13 years old results in the account be immediately locked without warning and without a mechanism to reset. Thi…

Anecdotal or factual observations about features and functionality that have stopped working. Confirmed interactions with real humans at Twitter for resolutions an added bonus!

Yup! My curiosity is this: at what scale does using contractors instead of employees start to break? Is it possible to build an infinitely large business with contractors only?

Thanks, builtwith.com is a pretty useful tool too.

Cheers, I'm looking now.

For context, average payment in the low hundreds.

Hey thanks, we bank with Mercury and I didn't know that wires were free. Just domestic US I'd assume.

It's unlikely. Fiat only kind of user base!

We want to establish a mechanism to send payments to our users, many of whom are non-technical professionals and few of whom will have a stripe, payoneer or even a paypal account. …

This is a useful resource and nicely organized. Do you have any monetization plans beyond promoted listings?

Nice and fast. How are you extracting the data for the Summary tab? On the searches I tried, it pulled in a block of, seemingly, random text from mid-way down the destination page.…

UK founder here. If you post your question I'm sure you'll get some help.

It sounds to me as if you need gift yourself some mental time off. You're clearly an entrepreneur, so I'd caution against getting a job, but you've not had a follow up hit and may …
