Truly paranoids are/will/should use Bitcoin or Litecoin. I don't get why pricing is USD$ only, it just seems that cryptocurrencies are perfect for this kind of service.

To go around BCN you should have at least a basic Spanish/Catalan level.
From what I've heard, most technical meetups are usually done in English.
Startups: Tuenti, Yuilop, Socialpoint, Teambox, 3scale, Itnig... Many others here https://angel.co/barcelona
If you want to focus exclusively on startup jobs, I think that http://www.jobfluent.com is probably the best site to look at.
Referring to incubators, there are some but I don't know if English is spoken there. I can tell you that at Telefonica everybody can speak English because there is people from around the globe working in there (at least in R&D) so I assume the same for Wayra. By the way, other accelerators/incubators/coworking spaces: Seedrocket, Barcelona Activa, La Salle Technova, Palo Alto BCN, MOB Barcelona...
Last recommendation: To know what is going on within the city, follow @startupbcn and subscribe to the BCN Startup Digest mailing list. This should be a good start for newcomers.
Overall: I think that the BCN startup community isn't as big as in London or Berlin, but this is changing fast. The other problem I see is that still lots of entrepreneurship events are held in Catalan/Spanish, and I think it discourages foreigners to get into the ecosystem. I hope this will change soon...
Anyway, I always say that I would choose BCN because it is the other SV (Sunny Valley) ;)
May I ask how did you get to be featured on TNW, Mashable, etc.?
* Why making the whole central image clickable instead of just the yellow button area?
* In the register page, it looks weird that every field have the same icon.
* More screenshots/video to show how does the service look like would be great. Maybe you should put a bigger link for the walkthrough video instead of a tiny link at the footer?
BTW, it's a nice idea, keep working on it!
Now I'm into 4clojure to keep on practising the syntax and to get my mind to think _the functional way_
Any other resource to be suggested?
It's also a social news website, but works different than HN. It uses telesc.pe which is kinda cool :)
Another idea that comes to my mind (haven't seen this yet) is to set up some sort of monthly payment subscription that would get bundles of apps at a much lower price. If I was a mobile developer with an app with few downloads but potentially good, I would sell my app at a wholesale quantity for much a lower price in order to gain exposure.
BTW thanks Airbnb for holding these talks!
