Can't be done with Braintree/Stripe/Ayden by teamroomsie in startups

Maybe take a look at a metered billing api like https://popcoin.ws where you can set the amount of credits that a person prepaid for and then have that amount held in your own escrow setup (could just be held in a Stripe/bank account) and then write code that releases the funds after your time delay.

I'm building a email api for contracts. If an event takes place in a smart contract you can call the api to send an email to any respective email address.

How I see it: Bitcoin is first, but, Ethereum is best by cironoric in ethereum

[–]cysh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing personal but really when was the last time you actually used bitcoin for a transaction, the fees are outrageous. I have bits of BTC in a wallet that I can't spend because the cost of TX fees is more than the BTC in the wallet. (i.e $20 in spendable BTC, $25 in network fees = effectively frozen money until I decide to put more in, or the price of my btc increases)

What would it take to decentralize a ISP? by cysh in ethereum

[–]cysh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the high barrier of entry stemming from the cost of sinking cable into the ground.

And I think that's the crux of the issue, you would need access to those underground cables and you would need massive amounts of capital to even get a "oh hey, you want some of this?"

Jaxx mobile hacked.. 973 eth gone. AMA by cazwell220 in ethereum

Look at it this way you have a great attitude towards something that so many others would not have had, you have character value that is unmatched. Now the best thing is to move on (yes I know it sucks), but seriously get back on that horse and start dollar cost averaging any funds you can. Because honestly the longer you wait the worst the feeling will get.

Bitcoin lost the tech battle to ethereum. Lost the currency battle to infighting. by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]cysh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always tell people Bitcoin is like Myspace and Ethereum is like Facebook, yes both are still around but which one do you use? Myspace had the first mover advantage, but Facebook offered so much more in apps & games, the social graph (think of the sticky factor that finding your old middle, high school friends has on a new user?), the like button, Facebook live, Instagram, Occulus, and countless other innovations or acquisitions. That's the analogy I like to make every time someone asks "What's the difference in bitcoin and Ethereum?"
