Payment process definitely isn't streamlined right now (the button to cash out just sends me an email), but I am planning on paying through a 1099, if that makes things any easier.

To me, what you’re sort of doing is flipping the StackOverflow model around so that the authors share in the profits. That’s an interesting concept to experiment with. I wonder if “Teachers Pay Teachers” might be a company for you to benchmark?

Side note... It’s not often we see HN front page stories from Tucson, AZ & that’s awesome!

I think that there's a large way that Immutable Coffee differs from Stack Overflow, and that's in the fact that Immutable Coffee is:

* Private (answers don't circulate around the internet! that's important because of how quickly answers on stack overflow become invalidated)

and * Immediate & one-on-one (waiting for answers/responses in a comment chain on Stack Overflow is a super frustrating experience!)

And thank you! Lots of love for Tuscon. Bear down!
