theanirudh··on Show HN: Coinwell - the easiest way to mine litecoins
Thanks for the suggestions, we will consider adding a referral program. Also what do you mean by promos? like a discount on contracts?

Exactly, thats why we are able to be so cheap

1.5 MH/s is pretty fast in Litecoin mining, and we are working towards getting more capacity. From our initial estimate we found that you can earn upwards of $50 a week

We are also mining ourselves and now we want to grow more. In order to mine more and reduce our costs, we need users. It becomes cheaper to buy more hardware etc., hence we are providing this as a service.
theanirudh··on Dear Startups: stop asking me math puzzles to figure out if I can code
Even after reading Jeff Atwood's post[1], it still amazes me how many programmers fail the fizz buzz test. We dont even get the chance to ask tough programming qustions. Simple questions like fizz buzz, loops and recursion were good enough to filter out a lot of applicants.

theanirudh··on Our motivation for Pixter
Agreed. Thats why approaching VC's does not make sense for us and we need support from our users.

Yes, we provide an option to export all your photos. Its in the settings of the app.

Third parties that want to display your pictures can only do so for pictures that are shared publicly(more private options coming soon). They have basic caching options, but cannot store the image, and most importantly cannot use them out of context.

theanirudh··on Our motivation for Pixter
Im really glad that you liked the design, it inspires me to do more. Pixter is a full service and the iOS app is just a part of it. We have a lot of features planned, and we are just getting started. We need support from people like you!

PS: we have a free account, which allows you to follow as many people as you want. It's like a read-only mode, writes are limited to 12 photos a year :) Every sign up helps!

theanirudh··on App Developers: Introducing the Arc - the review and rating exchange club
The concept of getting reviews from other developers is good, but why should the review be on the App Store? An app developer's review is not weighted more than a review from a normal user. This system can be kept out of the App Store altogether.
