from the ask-hn dept.

Interested in hearing thoughts on the idea for an app that helps organize Daily Fantasy Sports pools. The aim would be to help DFS players increase their chances of winning without having to pay more money.

Re:100M and counting: Cristiano Ronaldo's Facebook fan club on Tuesday October 14, 2014 @02:06PM (#8454778)
"For Ronaldo, his attraction is not limited to a single country or region, with research suggesting he's known by over 84% of the world's population -- giving plenty of scope still for him to increase his Facebook and Twitter fan base yet more."

Carrying $75K in cash around is not illegal, but it soon will be if the powers to be have their way. What the anti-cash movement really wants is digital totalitarianism, that's the bigger picture in all this.

In an era of budget shortfalls and market-based solutions, the American government is quickly becoming a for-profit enterprise at all costs.

I trust everyone until they give me a reason not to, that is my philosophy and my fault for assuming everyone else's.

Thank you everyone for all your valuable input and feedback.

I am probably just going to give the product away for free, but continue to support it. If any bugs are found I will patch them.

If I decide to continue monetizing the product I will definitely consider the contest. Thanks for your feedback.

What if I was giving the product away for free? Would the reaction would have been different?
Re:Ask HN: What can I do to gain trust here? on Wednesday August 27, 2014 @05:48PM (#8234857)
The claim I am making and standby is that no one can access the webcam and microphone unless they know the password. My question is how does one gain trust and why all the negativity when no one has yet tried or tested the product and debunked my claim?
Re:Show HN: Password Protect Your Webcam on Wednesday August 27, 2014 @05:46PM (#8234853)
Yeah no one including government employees can access it unless they know the password of course.

Thanks for the spelling correction.

I agree, I changed the banner. That's how I originally purchased the site so I didn't make any changes to the home page including the claims.

But I am confident in saying that the program can protect your webcam and microphone since I developed the current version from scratch.

If anyone can prove me wrong feel free. This is a fun project about a real issue and concern. The previous owners were using clickbank to market it, hence the footer.
