Monerium/EURe fully complies with EU e-money regulations. There's lots of similar products coming out in EU land, and more and more globally (e.g. euroe.com) Most regulations apply to financial institutions, if your blockchain is

I do read them. It’s the easiest way to stand out for candidates. A paragraph about what interests u in this role usually is enough.

You’ll probably spend more time pitching and entertaining investors then just coding the mvp and start selling.

Bitcoin. Ethereum. Etc. They don't go down if you turn off your Raspberry Pi. I also can be 99.9999% sure that they run correctly and Ethereum itself is pretty unhackable, as proven by the multi-billion bug-bounties. The smart contract
