Anyone can build anything, it’s the selling that is hard. You need runways for momentum to even begin.

Re: I can build enterprise software but I can't charge for it
#162I am not a lawyer or diplomat or expert on trade, but I can make some general observations from an American/Western perspective: First, the sanctions on Iran are such that any partnership with an Iranian person for business reasons is effectively impossible in the West, without the resources of a multi-million or billion-dollar company to circumvent them.

>The ones with strong tech industries would be Russia, China, and India
As a side note, I wouldn't put it past a company of any of these countries to effectively resell the software to US companies, effectively bypassing the sanctions in a similar partnership fashion.
On another note, how do you distinguish between a well meaning iranian asking you to do something illegal for money, and an iranian that is just trying to scam you. I'm not saying that this is the case, but the very intense regime would force anyone participating in this to forego the legal mechanisms that would make doing business somewhat safe to begin with. How do you bring a dispute to court if it arises? You would have to confess to a federal crime?
Sorry man, I wish you luck, but nothing we can do here.

Sorry I can't help. Good luck!

#164As a technical founder I empathize with the authors situation and approach, but honestly spending that much time and energy on a product before even getting one sign up is a known failure mode.
Fair point - I should have made it clearer. The demo is at https://ps.neoclerks.com:8451/player.html?ss=f2ee51d8-2ea3-4... scan the QR code with your phone, and your phone becomes the microphone. The avatar responds on screen. Known limitation: Running on my GTX 1060 in Iran with 4G internet, so international latency might be rough. The code itself handles 100-300ms on proper infrastructure. I get the scam concern gi…
I don't think I need to tell hacker news this, but don't scan that qr code with phone.
The only way HN is going to do that is by opening that link with either a js disabled browser and then opening the qr with a sandboxed android emulator.

I doubt most americans know where Iran is, let alone why we're sanctioning them.

you can also open a URL with another tab
press F12 and open the STT page URL and you have both the avatar and the STT page (where you use it as microphone) on the same computer without the need of phone, this design was to eliminate the need of microphone and setup user base sessions and control it in kiosk like environments

Thank you for this thoughtful response. You're raising legitimate concerns I may not fully understand. Let me clarify my understanding (and please correct me if I'm wrong): My assumption was that a structure like this would be legal: - Partner in US/UK registers their own company - Opens Stripe under their company name - Hires me as a remote contractor (like any distributed team) - I hold equity as a foreign sharehol…
How will you get paid from a western US/UK bank if you want to receive the money in Iran?
Thats the issue: Most banks do not allow transactions to some countries, and if at all, under very timeconsuming checks&KYC stuff etc

#169You don’t explain your test strategy. “188 automated tests” means absolutely nothing.

What difference does that make? A lot of Americans are literally children. Some are household pets. What do you expect?
This country is run by a government. They know where Iran is.
