SEEKING WORK - REMOTE
I'm a Google Adwords certified individual and I can help you to promote your startup/product with Adwords. I can also fine tune your existing campaigns. If you're bootstrapped and can't spend a fortune on adwords, I would love to help you achieve your goals within your means. I'm also very proficient with Google Analytics, Mixpanel and KISSmetrics.
If the above sounds interesting but you had something more on your mind, I should note that, I'm willing to learn new things and I'm always trying to broaden my horizon :) Right now, I'm learning Javascript.

What they provided wasn't exactly 'proof'. Without any conclusive ground they accused other lyrics sites. Linking to Open Site Explorer and saying they they think some links might be suspicious hardly counts as proof, IMO.
Besides, now that the matter has been brought under Google's attention, they'll of course penalize the other lyric sites too, if any violation is found. But in case of RG, it was all out in the open and I think that's why action was quick.
I'm happy to see this pop up on HN since HFT is something I've been looking into lately. If you're interested to dig deeper into HFT and algorithmic trading, 'Inside the Black Box' will be a good read. Link: www.amazon.com/Inside-Black-Box-Quantitative-Frequency/dp/1118362411
If you want to take your reading further, there are some great recommendations on the review section. And just to get an insider look into quant traders and the effect HFT can have on the market, I also recommend these two short documentaries made by the dutch national TV:
1. Quants: The Alchemists of Wall Street

2. Money & Speed: Inside the Black Box

What happens to the $10 credit developer accounts that was offered before?
Free for only turkish citizens or for everyone?
BrainTree has been bootstrapped since it's beginning until October, 2012 when they raised $35 million. And the guys at 37 Signals sure love BrainTree since, that is what they use to process payments for 37 Signals. Also, BrainTree was featured in their famous 'Bootstrapped, Profitable and Proud' series

I'm in Bangladesh. I would've come to Finland on a tourist visa and apply from there, but looks like that is not allowed for my country. Do you think applying from any other EU countries can make things easier?
I would love to intern at a Finnish startup. I'll keep my eyes on twitter :)
I've been trying to come to Finland to study. I became very interested about Finland after I saw some of the the things happening in Aalto University(Startup Saunna, Venture Garage and such). But my Residence Permit application was rejected last year and it was very frustrating. The rejection letter got lost in the mail and for the last six months my communication with the Finnish Immigration has been futile and I still don't know the reason of rejection.
Do you have any plans to open source this for people who wants to install Moot on their own server? As a forum junkie, I'm excited about Moot, but I hope you do understand that to be successful as a platform you have to give the option to self-host :)

No, it wasn't offensive to me and I'm a muslim. Just because something 'offended' you should not be the reason for somebody else to go to jail. He posted stuff on the internet, the people who got offended had the option not to see it.
I really don't think that the OP made any mistakes. And you're wrong about people not being cruel. They can be very cruel. Very recently in my country, four bloggers were jailed because they wrote sarcastic blogs about Islam and one was killed for running a website that mocked religion. And the vast majority of the people were happy. And I'm not talking about the old generation, I'm talking about generation Y and Z.
I myself, received threats because my FaceBook said I was an 'atheist' and I was engaged with social media movement against religious oppression.

I second the PDF option. Create a PDF of your article and sell it with Gumroad's 'pay what you want'/flexible pricing feature. You can select the minimum pricing to even $0. So, people can pay whatever they think your advice is worth.
Another advantage of this is, you get to collect the email addresses of people who purchase. You can easily email them later if you update your tutorial or something.
Your techniques, as effective as they maybe, aren't really 'Growth Hacking'. I think there is fine line between the good 'ol 'Internet Marketing'(read spamming) and growth hacking. I'm not sure your's fall into the later.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the things you mentioned will not help you to get more users and eventually make more money. Then again, if money is the only thing you're after, you could as well be making crapware or promote 'Work From Home' guides. Trust me, they can make you a lot of money, I've been there. There's a reason you're making iPhone apps instead of crapware. That reason should be honored.
Anyways, I hope I delivered my message correctly. There's is nothing wrong with what you're doing. Zynga did the same things you're doing with twists on a large scale and made millions. But we don't want to be Zynga, do we?
Marco Arment twitted this today and I wholeheartedly agree,
"It’s hard to celebrate a big company’s misfortune since it involves so many people’s jobs, but fuck Zynga and good riddance to their profit."

Why would anyone need to search LowEndBox, when they can get top tier cloud servers from DigitalOcean(which is linked on the original post)? There is absolutely no reason to use providers from LowEndBox with grandma's SolusVM, when you can spin up a server with DO anytime you want and pay by the hour?
And not to mention, how these providers are ddosing and hacking one another regularly.

This is awesome and inspirational. My sincere respect to Lim Cheng Soon. Doing this with 12 companies must have been tough.
VERY tough considering he lives in Malaysia. Lesson for those outside of the US and complaining about it. It really doesn't matter where you live as long as you are hustling. Lim Cheng Soon, take my bow!
