1. I’ve seen a lot of people who immigrated on H1B, were working with an employer and eventually started their own company. I am assuming they were already working on it on the side. What’s the best way to go about this without breaking any law? 2. Can you start a company on the name of a family member who’s a green card holder and voluntarily work for this company?

Thanks sathyabhat. Didn't know about Aardvark. Our back-end is completely built on Go and the app is hybrid.

hey timdaub, thanks for the feedback and sorry for the constant notifications you might be getting, we are pretty low on users right now. You should not receive as many once we get more users :)

Correct me If I'm wrong but I believe the mentioned alternatives do not provide a REST API or other features like retry, throttling, support for multiple GSM modems.
Re:Show HN: Gosms – Your own local SMS gateway powered by Golang on Wednesday February 11, 2015 @03:17AM (#9031983)
To add to this, If you want to send fast worldwide SMS reliably and without much hassle, use twilio or plivo or other such web sms gateways. If you want to send SMS locally, for cheap and willing to hack your way around, give GoSMS a shot. Given the time a modem takes to send an SMS, with a single modem connected, the rate of sending SMS is low (~1 message / 5 second).

Any generic 2G/3G USB Data Card from Hauwei or ZTE or Netgear or DLink which shouldn't cost more than 30$ - 40$ Check this link http://www.flipkart.com/computers/network-components/data-ca...
Re:Show HN: Gosms – Your own local SMS gateway powered by Golang on Tuesday February 10, 2015 @05:06PM (#9030244)
By modem we mean any GSM Modem device. Like a USB Data Card used for internet access, or a mobile phone connected via USB. You can send SMS anywhere. Software just allows you to use your phone / usb data card to send messages.

@z3t4 data cards from phone providers are carrier locked and don't allow third party softwares to access modem via AT commands. We've tried with some generic data cards from Huawei and ZTE and they work great

For example http://www.amazon.co.uk/HUAWEI-E3256s-Wireless-Mobile-Broadb... or http://www.amazon.co.uk/computers/dp/B004VU09BU/

You'll have to check for micro SIM support though. I haven't come across a stick which supports micro SIM yet.

right.. thanks for the heads up ! But since it's a self-hosted solution, it would be very easy to just circumvent the rate-limiting and use it for malicious purpose ?
Re:Show HN: GoPee – Simple, Self-Hosted Web Proxy in Go on Thursday January 01, 2015 @03:00PM (#8824062)
doh! Issue logged. Will fix it. Thanks!

@mkr-hn I understand. But, just check the site title if you haven't already. Maybe that would help see it from a different angle ?

@nacs Thanks for your inputs. Will fix asap !

@deftnerd Thanks for the appreciation!

I understand the deficiencies are major ones, but I am gonna continue working on it.

These things happen quite a bit in India and we call it a cross connection. I guess its just a switching problem between two providers.
