The product looks amazing, I wonder how long it will take the porn industry to come up with it first Nod-based app.

I've been living in Buenos Aires for over 4 years now. The secret for infinite money basically is selling Bitcoins to USD and then selling the USD to Ar$ Pesos.

Right now 1 USD = 10.10 Ar Pesos.

Here are some references:

1 Bus ticket from 1.50 to 3 Pesos.

1 Bic Mac about 45 pesos.

1 Coca Cola 8 or 9 pesos.

1 Dinner in a medium to fancy restaurant 150 pesos (200+ if you drink wine).

If any hacker is in town, let me know.

Wow. I just hope their EIR didn't come up with this. Otherwise I would feel very disappointed. What surprise me is the lack of identity. Why? Why would they even want to do this? They are USfuckingV. One of the most aspirational and important funds and yet they do this. Meh. Instead of us posting stuff on their WhateverTheyCallNewsSite we should be reading them and learning how to do stuff.

Sounds pretty interesting. Can you list some basic features the mvp would have. eg. Login, register, photo upload, post, like, comment, etc, etc.

Im glad we are on the same page. Ideally I would love to build a full suite where you can see and control everything from one app. Iterations from the basic wallet are pretty much unlimited.

"We have been testing Soylent on ourselves for several months and the data shows it to have a positive nutritional benefit."

No shit. Seriously, who is going to try this powder made by this twenty-somethings guys with no background in any kind of health nor nutrition studies.

It reminds me to the Power Balance scam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Balance
