https://cryptrader.com CryptoCurrency Trading Platform... Guess they aren't really as interested in Bitcoin start-ups as much as they said they were. This site is one of the top charting and trading sites in the game :/

If it's any consolation, I like your site.

Crypto-finance aside, I've only seen one financial technology company advertise for jobs on YC. On the surface, it just looks like YC doesn't have that much of a FinTech presence. (Outside of payments, anyway.)

Since they had that "RFS" for financial services, I'm curious to see what they present from this space on demo day.

Thanks so much! I know the MarketPsych founder Richard. Great guy, super forward thinking and definitely someone we respect. He sells exclusively through TR now I believe. Under the hood we are very different cos in terms of our data and what we aim to do with it. Time will tell ;-)

We didn't get an invite.

Wow. I'm honestly surprised. If I had been a YC guy, I'd have wanted to at least speak with you.

On the surface, I think you guys look awesome. We should network somehow.

Have you heard of mytag? Many start-ups are one form of craigslist or another with some flaws fixed. How is hubify different?

Hadn't heard of mytag, but just checked it out. Looks like a mobile only solution for selling things. Hubify is different because you can rent anything and also list services for hire and jobs. The ability to create and manage public or private hubs is unique and better suited to serve different types of local communities, college campuses, etc. We have Pinterest-style personal storefronts, user ratings/reviews, and…

Cool.

Will you eventually create an app for this? I have intimate knowledge on this subject because I was personally involved in such venture.

I will say this tho... this is such a problem - tons of waste and used goods and people keep on buying. Whoever finds the holy grail to solve this has huge to gain.

StudyBoard - "Stackoverflow for Education" Prototype - http://test.studyboard.com/studyboard/app/#/questions

stuck on loading for me, a few 404s for js files in console.

Any luck trying again? Can you please forward 404s for js files you saw? Which browser/OS were you using?

I got rejected. My company, One Society, is a network of socially conscious people focused on living and giving the most they can every day. Think of One Society as the Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter of philanthropy.

Any feedback would be most appreciated. :)

Great!! The docs are very well written. Lots of time and care spent on presenting the information effectively to benefit the users. Python EDA Documentation Release: 0.25.0 Date: October 21, 2014 http://pyeda.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ I know it's hard to focus on anything right now on what seems like the judgement day... Maybe reading PyEDA will help make time fly faster? Anything feedback is greatly appreciated. Th…

I have written EDA software, including some stuff that your library has. One thing that is key for EDA: tool performance. I can't imagine using Python for any of the intensive stuff like synthesis. What is your view on this?

PyEDA author here. I agree.
