#22What's with all these "i just got a lot of money" posts written by new profiles only a couple hours old??

#23email me: hndevel@gmail.com I'm an experienced Rails developer in the Bay Area.
Why are you posting from a throw-away account? What's wrong with identifying yourself?

#24Here's some advice from a fellow non-developer who was once your shoes 5 years ago (sans grant money) with similar revenues and skills... Since you've managed to cobble yourself together a prototype in PHP that people will actually pay for there's a good chance you can take it to the next level, albeit slowly, with a couple books in your lap and a few long days. I suggest you challenge yourself to figure out what is…
Thank you for the encouragement. What you wrote out here, is what I've been doing for the last year or so. I had some good friends tell me to just man up and figure out how to make what I thought would help sell my stuff. So I did. Were it not for this grant money, I'd keep on trucking along making incremental improvements to my business. Maybe in a year I'd get up to 9-10k/month. I suspect it's quite do-able. But wi…
If you don't follow the GPs advise then contract out little pieces and do the integration yourself. No point in setting yourself up to be ripped off, you have a winning formula, be careful.

#25What's that fishy smell? Someone gave you $100k for vaporware and didn't ask about your team or code? This seems a little off to me. Without revealing any info on your product why don't you explain your grant, who gave it to you, and provide the info you pitched to gain the grant? That can't be proprietary to the point where it exposes your tech, right?
I am going to second the fish smell. Google his email address and you find a twitter account the tweets the best craigs list w4m, wtf with that? How can you have time to run a valid business while combing craigs list for garbage.

#26Had similar experience with a friend. He got a product up and running but then his tech co-founder had to quit (personal reasons).
He reached out to me, and I connected him with a very good and experience web-developer (who had a full time job).
The web-dev went with him on a couple of interviews to help screen out potential devs and later did some followup on the project in the first few weeks.
Not sure what kind of deal they cooked-up between them. But finding an expert you can trust, that has a bit of time to advise and help you, might be a good idea.

#27If a Nigerian scammer was out to get the HN crowd, what you wrote would be a good start. Not that I think you are scamming, just found the similarity amusing.

#28Just wanted to point out that this doesn't seem to be his first post (maybe he forgot): http://hackerne.ws/item?id=823325. If it means anything, I still personally think he's legit.
Oh and I'm guessing it's a porn site.

Good catch. Just deactivated that and a bunch of others. I set up a bunch of Twitter bots one night. Not my finest moment.
