Ask HN: Feedback on crazy side projects ideas
1. Streamy - The Voice Of Internet. A social network without the "social" and the "network". A user can post something and it is visible to everybody but not like Twitter where everybody has her own "stream" of tweets. There is just a single huge stream of posts. No followers, no friends, no private/dedicated stream. Just post something and it will be visible to everybody.
2. Tempexchange - Upload a file with no size limit and set an expiration time (max 24 hours). Download it from anywhere with a public or private url. No registration required. No client required. Just upload, share the url, download.
3. Moneyplicator. This is a bit complex to explain (and to realize). The concept is: give us X $ and we will you back X + Y% $ (where Y is considerably high, like 20%) but we cannot tell you when (maybe in few hours, in few months or years). How is it possible to manage that in a profitable way? Example: User A gives 10 $ and expect to receive back 12 $ (10$ + 20%). User B, later on, gives 20 $ and expect to receive back 24 $ (20$ + 20%). When the intermediary collects the money from user B it is able to repay user A, retaining a small percentage fee Z (let's say 2%) for itself. So the balance for the intermediary would be: +10 (from A) +20 (from B) -11.8 (to A, including a fee of 0.2) = 18.2 of which 0.2 is cashed as the fee and 18 will be used to pay back the money to B. The whole loop keeps going with the following users. It is clear that the intermediary will always have debts to pay but not a deadline to do that and meanwhile it is cashing fees. I am not sure all of this makes proper sense, what do you think?
