FYI take a look at SiftScience and ThreatMetrix products. They wont process your transaction, but at least one of them offers a zero chargeback guaruntee, at $0.03 per transaction I believe.

yup, I love DB, but I cant even edit text files on dropbox.com. I'd have stuck around longer to at least have this but they haven't innovated around my needs in a while - so it rarely comes up as a solution to others issues. Duri

reminds me of this, not sure about equity but "come build cool" is more important than "get next round" http://www.raizlabs.com/services/startup-incubator/

Agreed. There's still no easy way to get from physical to digital. Be sure to focus on the problem you are solving. Show how many mediums can be used as well to solve the problem. (chalk, toothpicks, box of pencils, bricks etc.) Maybe

Sam, Cool stuff. I get what you're doing here, but from these comments I think QR code reference really throws people off. While comparing to QR might explain how it works, I would do my best to position this as nothing like QR codes

Make sure you watch the video, i missed it the first time through.

Agreed. I missed the video the first time and didn't believe the text that described the shutdown, video shows the stupidity here, let alone release a recording of it. I expect that will come down soon. Important research but very poo

FYI in my opinion there are only a few travel sites. sure theres plenty of hotel or airfare or rental or 'town of xyz events calendar' sites but no one solving the entire problem. I've yet to find an end to end trip planning
