The offer was for $3 billion. They are worth $24 billion today… In absolutely no world would have taking that offer been the right decision.

Uh, are we living in the same world? Javascript completely and fully dominates the web, he couldn't have been more wrong about how the future would turn out.

That's exactly my point, this makes the dark pattern calling the action "cancel" instead of disabling auto-renew? In general when I see the word cancel on the web it typically gets rid of something instantly.

I disagree about the point regarding "turn off auto-renew". This actually makes way more sense to me than "cancel". When I read "cancel" I am always worried that I may lose my current access that I paid for. Wh

Devise does integrate with SSO, but you still have to set everything up yourself for all the main providers which takes a good bit of time with a lot of custom frontend work needed and a bit of extra backend as well. It would be nice to hav

This doesn't really have the types of features I would personally want as someone who has done a lot of rails development in the past. The types of things I tend to need to set up in any modern app is SSO integration, React integrated

I’ve personally had nothing but terrible experiences with Western Union. In contrast, sending money with crypto (not Coinbase which is a nightmare centralized layer which defeats the purpose of crypto) has had 0 issues for me.

The author is confused. The point isn't to have every little thing decentralized (though there are plenty of tools in the space to do this if you desire). The point is so that different centralized entities can build on top on the dece

Not OP, but I've visited several cities in China including Changsha and it's definitely one of my top 3 cities. The food and club scene there stood out to me in particular.

Employees are able to override the pin entering requirement. There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop this from happening if you happen to get targeted. (Speaking from experience)

SwiftDemand is a digital basic income where people can sign up, claim their daily stipend, and user their new currency to transact with one another. We earn a small cut of what each user receives as well as from transactions made through th

This is meant as more of a disclaimer than a selling point. A small portion of users sign up, collect their Swifts and are then confused why they can't directly withdraw them in USD. We can probably change the language to be more posit

Thanks for the feedback! SwiftDemand is a fairly radical concept so initially I was worried that making claims too bold could come off as arrogant, but since we have now gained a lot more traction we should definitely revisit the copy on th

Yea, you are correct in stating that Bitcoin is much more similar to gold than it is an actual currency. That's one thing that I'm attempting to solve with Swift Demand, since coins are constantly being added to the economy you ca

An API is on my todo list. There are three main things I am looking to add in the near future: An exchange to allow people to trade their coins for normal currency An API to allow businesses to easily hook Swift Demand into their platform A

Yea, the extra account issue is something that I have thought a lot about. My initial plan is to slowly increase the requirements for information. In the very near future I will be making email verification a requirement. After that I will

Inflation will be handled in by simply increasing the amount of coins given to users. For example if there is a target of 3% inflation YoY then then amount of coins given will be based on that target inflation level. Figuring out the exact

Hopefully the same way that Bitcoin established value. Speculation that the coins will be more valuable in the future. Obviously since the coins are constantly being generated you are never going to have the coins reach values of $1000 each

The 3% is there due to the fact that Swift Demand is trying to be more than just another currency. It's also supposed to be able to act as a way to perform normal day to day commerce. This 3% fee is needed to provide buyer and seller p

This is complete nonsense. There are no blog posts about SwiftDemand nor is there any place where you have to enter in sensitive data. If you want to make claims like this please cite sources instead of being an "online detective"

This is awesome, I'll take you up on that offer. Can you write a poem/haiku about Swift Demand itself? Coins have been sent.

For Swift Demand to work your account will need to be completely tied to your true identity. Initially the methods of verification aren't very strong to prevent any unneeded friction for early adopters of the service. Once Swift Coins

Yea, it will be very difficult at the beginning to convince people to actually accept Swiftcoin for services. In order for this to occur there will need to be speculation that coins will be worth a certain amount in the future. I.E. if a pe
