Let’s not forget, this is the same guy who pitched Box at the Ira Sohn investment conference (Hear him explain his “best idea”, 2018: https://youtu.be/PBjDyFKgDzg).

He is a great talker, great hype man, possibly a great growth marketer, but he is certainly not a great investor.

Do you mean to say they had high credibility a couple years ago?
Thanks for taking the time to read my article. In this situation there aren’t any obvious winners except those with cash that will be able to buy properties and other assets at discounted prices given the cascade of selling we’re likely to see in the coming weeks and months. Banks will suffer with non performing loans across many industries and loan types. Banks also have compression of net interest margins with rates close to zero. But banks are in good shape going into this mess and will likely be backstopped by the federal government and will probably come out in a lot better shape than other stakeholders.

Re:Zentail.com (YC S12) Now Accepts Bitcoin on Thursday October 02, 2014 @01:16PM (#8401791)
We've been fans of Bitcoin since going through Y Combinator with Coinbase in Summer 2012. Back then the value of BTC was just over $5. We're excited to announce that we are now one of the largest product catalogs now accepting Bitcoin.

What is Zentail.com? Launched in July 2014, we're a fast-growing online shopping site that is relentlessly focused on providing the lowest possible prices on over 100,000 products primarily in the electronics category.

if this actually does come to market in or around 2015, would it be feasible to replace sql databases with blazing fast redis databases entirely?
I just spoke with the CEO/co-founder of G-wearables, maker of Goccia. This product will be shipping in May to Kickastarter backers. Can anyone comment on the pros and cons of visible light (LED) communication? Interested in feedback from the HN community.
Re:94% of Americans Cannot Name One Chinese Brand. Can you? on Tuesday April 02, 2013 @03:29PM (#5481588)
Foxconn is also a Taiwanese company.
gbraad, thanks very much for your insights! Your assessment of Alibaba.com's international marketplace is spot on.

Here's what we mean by 'safer'; our competing B2B International Marketplace (soon to be branded) is an integrated ecosystem of logistics service providers (neutral 3rd party logistics warehouses), suppliers and buyers. Our inspection, inventory management, and distribution management suite allows for real-time visibility (http://www.hdtradeservices.com/distributor.php#inspection), and facilitates a hyper-proactive approach to purchasing. The result is an unprecedented level of transparency and security when sourcing, as you can verify quality before your goods are paid for and shipped. Further, all suppliers on our platform will be rigorously vetted, and monitored via our inspection service.

I hope this helps answer your question.

colinsidoti, thanks for bringing up Panjiva. We're very familiar with the company, in fact I had an opportunity to meet Josh Green, founder & CEO, at World Trade Week in NYC this past May. We really like what the company is doing. Think of them like the google of international trade related search. Just last week, they announced Global Search, which will seriously bolster their service. Here's an excellent resource for learning more about Panjiva: http://panjiva.com/blog
Awesome feedback re: payment methods, thanks again for sharing!

We encourage buyers to route their goods through our growing network of inspection locations. These locations are neutral 3rd party logistics service providers (think DHL, except specialized in value added services like quality verification). They use our high definition inspection technology (http://www.hdtradeservices.com/distributor.php#inspection) to provide buyers with the ability to verify quality remotely, in real time. If the quality of the shipment does not meet your agreement with your vendor, you should not complete payment. It's a very proactive way to manage trade risk.

Let me know if you want to learn more.

All the best, Daniel

Thanks for your feedback, rickdale! Congrats on launching your business under such uncertainty. We love hearing about experiences through B2B sites, especially Alibaba.com. Although you haven't had any horror stories, which we hear all too frequently, sounds like you've experienced a few curveballs. No more curveballs! Help us build a truly transparent purchasing environment.
Re:Show HN: Swap contacts by scanning QR codes on your phone on Saturday March 24, 2012 @11:44PM (#3751644)
Really smart idea, site looks solid. I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of QR codes, but you mention in your response to Jordhy that it's more fail safe than Bump.

Looking forward to checking it out.

Cool stuff, I'm digging the splash page. Looking forward to the beta invite to check it out. Keep up the great work!
