Some thread on Quora from a year ago with 5 replies is definitely a good data point.

#92Any plan for TWD? It's a real challenge to transfer USD or Euro to TWD. Fees are crazy high. I can hook you up with the foreigners community, probably 100+ beta testers

Definitely something we're going to be considering as a future currency corridor! We've heard similar feedback on fees!

#94Looks great. Another example why we don't need blockchain to do fast and cheap international transfers. And before you tell me that this doesn't cover all currencies and countries: Ok, but it just shows that this is not technology problem (i.e. can be done with existing and better tech than blockchain), but a business model / regulation problem.
Thank you! We definitely are open to using Crypto in the future, but it just didn't seem to make sense to get people the best possible rate today.

#95This looks great. Any chance you can add transfers to India soon?

#96Nice! The logo looks eerily similar to TUI's… Is it possible to send money on the web - or is it iOS only? Best of luck with the launch.
Haha have passed the TUI feedback to our designer ;)
We're going to start with iOS, and then move to more platforms. Thank you for your kind words!

#97Not sure who told you that you could get away without having a cookie opt-out option, but even in post-Brexit UK you still need this. Having the alternative to 'accept all our tracking' be a 'learn more' that just goes to a document is bullshit.
> without having a cookie opt-out option
A financial company playing fast and loose with the law, and especially data protection law, does not bode well.
One to avoid methinks.

#98Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hi, other founder here. Thank you for your feedback! >It sounds like associating and verifying a phone number is required to sign up and use the service - is this something you're open to changing? Are you looking for something like Authy or Google Authenticator here?
> Are you looking for something like Authy or Google Authenticator here? Precisely! Both are implementations of TOTP[0] - it's a simple protocol which doesn't rely on any particular implementation. The other common one with that same characteristic would be Fido U2F[1] (for hardware keys such as Yubikey and Google Titan). If/when you do implement it, make sure to support adding more than one token to facilitate users…
Cool, we should be able to do this. Thank you for your feedback.

#99I like the idea, dislike the TLD. Could be the most reliable and serious company, but I won't be using it with a .money TLD.

Thanks for flagging, have shared the feedback with the team.
