Doing exactly this on Kickstarter would be a sure fire bet. Do it now!

rex_gsd | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: Freight Finder, an easier way for truckers and shippers to connect

Excellent idea, thought I'm also not really sure how you'll get it infront of truckers. Perhaps you could take out an advertisement in one of the numerous trucking free magazines/newspapers that you'll find in truck stops on the highway. Though they're often not cheap to advertise in.

I found a bug, when you generate a wallet you can press the clear and reset button and the generate button remains enabled. This allows the user to generate a wallet using an empty string.

This is using Chrome 31.0.1650.57 m

I sent you an email to the one via your contact us link. I like the page!

Great app, typo in partying neighbours. You're missing the y. http://dontwake.me/street_review.php?action=search&listi... - Clicked on it after searching for brisbane, map in the link shows England.

I agree, definitely needs these buttons. Works amazingly well!

rex_gsd | 13 years ago | on: Fuck you PayPal

This is why I went out of my way to find an alternative processor to Paypal for my most recent startup. Monthly fees were definitely higher but chances of this happening, much lower.

That's an awesome idea, though maybe you should consider mixing up your marketing as a 'take revenge' kind of way instead of the 'pranks' target you seem to be going for at the moment.

'Upload the face of your enemy' instead of 'Upload your friend's face'.

rex_gsd | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: A side project - shareable diffs for MSWord files, pdfs, and more.

I really like the interface, nice side project.

rex_gsd | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Company not paying salary on time, what to do?

For a written contract to be valid it needs to be signed. If you never signed any contracts you have no employment contract for him to base any legal cases against you on.

What country is this?

rex_gsd | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: How are you using the PDF format in your websites?

We wrote an app to create invoices for my company as PDF for easy printing. Had a lot of good feedback from business associated so we released it as a full paid app (With free accounts) - http://www.rocketmailmerge.com

rex_gsd | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Favorite recurring billing payment gateway?

I've had great support from the team at http://www.chargebee.com (Hooked into pin.net.au) for handling my recurring payments for my SaaS

Thanks!

I read that you spend 0 time on marketing, but how do people find your service in the first place? Is it all organic searching or did you slowly gain traction since 2007 and spread by word of mouth?

I've got an online SaaS I just launched (a month ago) and am struggling to figure out how to get people to even sign up for a free trial.

rex_gsd | 13 years ago | on: Setting up a Payment Gateway

You mean setup a service similar to stripe to be all all in one service, or the kind where your clients still need to open a merchant account with a bank and you're just the interface?

Shame we don't have a service like that in Australia. Hmm

Looking forward to some of the major US carriers like UPS, or even USPS signing on to this.

My server decided it would be a good time to do an update cycle, at 2am our local time; just bad timing unfortunately for users from the US.

Yep, I totally agree about the term Mail Merge being pretty unknown so I'll get some feedback from friends on what it could possibly be changed to.

I'll be trying direct marketing first to the businesses that already do mail merges so if that fails I'll fall back on search hits and make it more new user friendly.
