I appreciate the honesty and foresight.


I feel this is spot-on. From previous experience trying to get into it, trading gold or silver today feels like buying from car dealerships. If your platform delivers on its premise you may well have built the Tesla of precious metals.

2K seems like a fairly high price of entry. Are there plans for fractional trades? (I'm not even sure that's a thing).


No plans. The point of gold and silver is to reduce/eliminate counter party risk and there are plenty of paper gold products out there to meet that need.

I would suggest Silver, which trades for around $40 today.


French guy living in the US now. I miss "Eau de Cologne" deeply. We've used it with fevers, headaches, indigestion... and my 95 y/o grandpa still uses it daily.

My understanding is the custom is probably more widespread than it being endemic to Turkey.


The immunology department of Marseille, France reported 3 days ago that taking hydroxy-chloroquine and azithromycin together led to 90% of pilot program patients testing negative after 6 days.

There are also several publications under review at the NIH. Glad to see the US Gov. stepping up to the plate so fast on the subject.


This business positioning reminds me of what "App.net" did to Twitter a few years back.


What's that? I just went to app.net and all I found was a mostly empty map.


Exactly... they ended up doing nothing.



are you building a payment gateway for crypto currency?


OP here! Blupee is an Ethereum API that abstracts web3, ABI and contract use. There is no USD-ETH exchange, but you will be able to exchange coin-coin for gas price ~15-20 cents.

This also solves the issue of secure wallet hosting (we never know the password), and management.

The best use case is those that have deployed a smart contract and would like to easily enable others the ability to use your token.


Employers still get the data via background checks.


Contact Uber via Twitter directly, also contact their customer support. As for the driver's accusation it should be verifiable since they have cameras running.

On another note, this looks like old stains.


thanks for the feedback. Yea, definitely looks old


Congratulations on Raptor, I'll definitely give it a whirl. Regarding static asset serving, I'm fairly certain serving them through the application server is often not the way to go anyway.


I personally just marvel at the implications of opening up an API for it. Imagine playing Youtube workout playlists, or powering up other devices through it, it could certainly be the voice hub of the house. It's one giant step towards the enablement of the "internet of things" for the household.
