My company, Thorn Technologies, has a direct competitor on the AWS Marketplace called SFTP Gateway. We haven't seen any negative impact on sales just yet, probably because our product is much cheaper, and we think better. But only time will tell!

Yeah, this is so typical of AWS to do this, and I know we're not alone.

Ripple is interesting. If you're a true believer of the decentralized concept of crypto, you shouldn't like Ripple because it is controlled by a company (but is open source, similar to Java), and many financial institutions use it. So it's kind of towing the line between centralized and decentralized.

Which cryptos are you looking at that are better than bitcoin in dealing with the scaling and transaction cost issues? I'm watching BitShares pretty closely.

With so much media coverage about startups from tech pubs like TechCrunch to TV shows like HBO’s Silicon Valley, it may seem like running a startup is all about glamorous product launches, huge rounds of fundraising, and overnight successes.

But the overnight startup success is an absolute myth.

In reality, running a startup isn’t glamorous at all, nor do overnight successes ever happen. Rather, startups are full of repetitive tasks that need to be done each day and small steps that need to be taken consistently over a number of years.

Here are some of the tasks that we grind through each day to keep making incremental progress on ribl.

Will look into it, as it was just part of the WordPress theme we chose. Thanks for the feedback.

We thought about ripl and other words, but there we soooo many other apps with similar names. And we wouldn't have wound up with the froggie as our logo! :)
