Did you pay this fee online or at an establishment? Could you pay down this fee or was it all due at one time?

This is a question for experiences paying the fine, not so much for advice. I've added to the question to make it clear.

All-in-all, great job and kudos for getting it done! It looks good, functions as it should with the flexibility to fit in any given product. I like these projects because it helps break the often-overlooked centralization of civil conversat

Bingo. There has to be some correlation among the products else you run into competition on all fronts. On top of this - the competition you will run into are often solely focused on that product.

In the age of equal access, how does one discern meaningful connections on a free platform? Imagine if every time someone wrote a comment on Facebook, Instagram they had to answer a simple math question before it's posted. A lot less o

Thanks Bahamut - Did you bring ideas to the decision makers based on a need you saw at the nonprofit or did they approach you with something to look into?

This has been our general findings as well and we've been doing some research on the best way to market. Clearly banking on the technological advantages will be ineffective. I'll hit you via email because your response brought to

Hi LarryMade2, I'm talking about charities, nonprofits organizations that survive on grants and donations.

I took home first prize at a AT&T hackathon here in Houston and I thought the exact same thing. A lot of corporate ones are set up with contracts that leave your work at their mercy to continue without you. Unless there's a prize -

I assumed Fax was a dying tool but its very much alive and well. I had to rely on when doing business overseas and sending documents. Doing corporate identity verification and more all via fax was the norm. Good luck

Oh - I see, neat. I assumed it was ads aggregated from a series of sponsors. I've used these services before - any API in the works?

by bbissoon 12y ago
Very cool concept! How does the person initiating the fax know what the ad will contain? I haven't signed up, but if it's not done already - I would create feature where the person sending the fax can select the ad on free account

It's not the same at all. There's a "Pending" balance and an "Available" balance. If you were to initiate a transfer after a successful charge, you will get an error. You have to wait days for it to make it to

With the migration, will our data be replicated or ported over to Stripe? I.E. We start the migration and we still have access to Balanced API while we make the needed changes to comply and test with Stripe. I want to start the migration, b

During the migration, is our information ported over to Stripe or is it replicated? I want to start the migration but it doesn't specify whether or not it will cause Balanced users to lose access to the API all together.

by bbissoon 12y ago
The problem is that Stripe requires sub merchants to create an account as well. Whereas Balanced, the account process was part of the API so your customers stayed in your application. That's going to be the biggest blow to the UI.

... Wow, after all that work building a product on Balanced.

He's showing his project, it's best to keep condescending comments about the person to yourself. Just focus on what is needed to make the project better. @Daybooks - Kudos for actually launching something. Done is better than perf

Braintree is a good alternative and it was recently picked up by PayPal. They also offer first $50K in sales transaction fee-free.

That's an important feature. "Display:none" hides the element completely whereas the "Visibility:hidden" hides the element but reserves the space that now hidden element used. If you have a box with "Display:no
