Awesome recommendation on Amir Klink. He really is a modern day adventurer and explorer. I love that he has his own mad lab, so to speak.

I interviewed him a while back actually. He was a gentleman and immensely interesting. Check it out if you like. http://www.interviewswithinterestingpeople.com/amyr-klink-so...

His adventures are really great.

I work in the gambling industry, and the amount of money bet on this market by Irish and UK customers (most of Paddy Power's userbase) would be a relatively very small amount. So they settle all bets on Clinton as a winner now and reap all the free publicity (which PP are experts at doing). Aside from that, the type of user betting on this market are not going to withdraw their winnings, it will go straight onto the next horse race or premiership game :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Much appreciated.

Definitive NO to your question. Riches is not money, it is free time to do as you please and spend that time doing whatever you find most valuable, e.g. spending time with family, enjoying friends, doing nothing, being free, not selling your time to an employer for just money, or even worse working overtime for 1.5x rate. Many many many people HATE their work, or even just dislike it. And the idea of 'working hard' becomes a joke. Unless you are doing your own startup or thoroughly committed to a cause then as an employee work is but a means to an end. Absolutely nobody actually loves or is passionate about 'changing the way people communicate', or, 'creating the best employee benefits platform ever', or 'disrupting a transport industry', or whatever the taste of the day is. Apart from the founder, everyone else knows it's just hot air, towing the company line etc. Noone really gives a f. Most people's values lie way outside of 'work' or a general sense of work ambition as you quickly realise that rising though the ranks actually bring you less and less free time and therefore less and less real pleasure. Money becomes a terrible compensation. People in those situations frame seniority or responsibility, and it's corresponding wages, as success, when anyone who uses their brains realises it's the opposite. You don't need much money to live a thoroughly spectacular life. Don't dedicate your life to getting financially rich! Dedicate your time to whatever is most valuable in your life, and quit worrying that you don't have enough money, or the big house or new car... all that means absolutely nothing in comparison to life experiences, relationships, travel, free time, contemplation, and whatever brings you the most pleasure in life. The whole point of money is to spend it and most things don't cost that much. Working hard to eventually become rich is a terrible goal. (If you are highly ambitious and money is your true pleasure then disregard this entire comment!)

Thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

Reason I may need to return is because of funds running low, been job hunting now for a couple of months. But I'll persevere, and follow up on your tips too. Thank you.

Instead of all the pop ups, or ads etc, how about just a simple message to users asking for a contribution. It's a much more direct, and far less abrasive approach, plus it's personal and seems reasonable. I'm betting it will convert at 5 - 10% of users aged 16+.

E.g. Hi, I hope you are enjoying this app and finding it useful. Could you support this app by paying a one-time fee of just $1? It will allow me to keep the app updated and best of all running ad-free! Thanks in advance.
