Ask HN: What would you do if you've got to make $10k within a month?

Except getting a job with high salary. It could also be something in grey area. Since this is HN, it'd be more interesting to hear about ideas related to engineering and design.

I always wonder when I see these posts on HN whether we have a lot of people with gambling problems on the site or something.

Is being an entrepreneur not a gamble? Is life not a gamble? Are relationships not a gamble? I'd say every decision someone makes has an element of gambling to it. The nature of gambling is picking something over something else and hoping for the best. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

How I made over $100 an hour as Spiderman at Times Square http://www.michaelhealy.me/how-i-made-over-100-an-hour-as-sp...

thanks for that story... simply awesome!

Get a bank loan, most banks will do upto £15k online instantly, with an instant wire to your account. Providing you're a home owner that's probably the fastest way I can think of.

Yeah, the world definitely needs more screwing over other people for money.

=> I'll stop there.

If I had to do this, I'd buy and sell a series of cars, driving them to be sold where demand is highest. Design etc is too well served a market, too competitive. You need a market with inefficiencies to exploit.

Actually, no. Whatever one can just 'do' for $10k in a month will be risky. This is why credit exists, that's what you need!
