Just for some further context. Plough is a publication of the Bruderhof community which is Christian but in a much more radical sense than mainstream Christianity (no private property, radical non-violence, etc.).

I've visited their community in upstate NY and really enjoyed it.

You can see how many people are falling for it by looking at the wallet address: https://etherscan.io/address/0x358EF89B4D37f16002cc4A853B321...

yeah, those are interesting questions. I assume either they hold the wallet or some exchange they are using behind the scenes.

It would make a lot of sense if you could start using your Square Cash Card funded by BTC. That would be cool from a long term vision.

I've been using the Shift Card for a few months which functions like a debit card but is funded from my BTC on coinbase.

Yes, this is in the Square Cash app not their POS product.

I'm surprised the author left out payments. SMS is the simplest way to facilitate non-POS transactions. We've built our company on that, kindrid.com.

I like the site, it seems that your pricing is contradictory.

On: http://confetti.events/pricing

it says: "Confetti charges 5% + 5 SEK per ticket sold (this includes the credit card processing fees and VAT)"

But on: http://confetti.events/features

it says "5.0% + $0.50 per ticket (+ credit card fee)"

I think it's more about incentivizing sharing. Part of that is money but you're not going to make a lot carpooling to work.

So basically the Mayans would have been right?

So, assuming you had an extra $3,500 to blow. What would you most like to have built?

I know this is a basic question. But how exactly does Printoo work with Arduino? Do I need to buy anything from Arduino in order to use Printoo?

Very cool.

But when you say "app" what exactly does that mean? Can it just be a web app that you save a shortcut to? Or is this actually a native app?

hmmm. Thanks, could you tell me what device / browser you were using?

I can see how some of it does read as "fluff" or cliche, it probably would be more beneficial if I did a short paragraph on how I learned each point.

I signed up for your beta. Definitely seems like a wonderful idea. Looking forward to trying it!

I have to imagine iBeacons could be more about the iwatch than the iPhone. I don't want to take my phone out of my pocket all the time to check for new notifications. I would glance at my watch.

Being a little generous to say "Wrong", I believe it was a blatant lie.

It would be a class act if Mark Z personally paid him the bounty or maybe if FB employees crowdfunded it.

Then they don't have to admit they were wrong and don't look like jerks. Best of both worlds.

Looks great! Wish I had this when I was in college.

One thing though, you might consider changing "businessmen" to a gender neutral term.

Although their pricing is a bit high I feel there is clear trend supporting higher price for convenience.

This is the same trail that Stripe blazed. For a little bit of work I could get my own merchant account setup with much lower processing rates but the ease of integration and time savings is worth the cost.

I don't see Lob being that useful for people already doing printing. But I do see it offering a simplicity that will enable a whole new set of business to use printing in creative ways (ours included). Again, somewhat similar to Stripe.
