jerry951··on Poll: How many servers is your startup running on?
Shared hosting for now. I have Bluehost but we will be getting 1 dedicated server soon.
jerry951··on No hackers in our startup group. Oh oh!
I don't think I can do clean html/css. What I learn is from playing around with other people's source codes.

Thanks, I think we made every screen change already. We showed it to our older brothers and they liked it. I don't think my friends would care, they aren't programmers either.

Thanks for the offer! I will wait for YC first before looking for programmers and help.

Our idea is only about 2 week old. It's a .gif that is placed in an html page. We will work on the html/css today.

Thanks for reply.

>What makes you think that it's going to be easier to get a dedicated, driven hacker with cash (which you don't have yet), rather than with stock (which you could issue right now)?

I don't think anything we're doing is easy. We have no experience in business or programming. This is a big risky move on our part that we're willing to take. Just brothers with the same hobby and looking for help from YC. Good point though, I would issue stocks now that I think of it.

>As each of you individually (meaning the hacker gets 33%), or as each of you together (meaning the hacker gets 50%)?

The hacker will get more than each of us not together.

>Besides the design, what are you and your brother going to contribute, going forward?

Everything else that doesn't require programming but is essential to get our company known. Marketing, press, interviews, etc. Also sharing ideas and suggestions with the coder. Oh yeah, more designs and concepts.

Thank you! I like the site you have.

We do have a little technical side to us but nothing like what you possess. Just the basics and we know how to play around with code, but not write code from scratch.
