each is small individually, but together they add up to alot
I love this. I've been waiting for this for a long time. Do you handle formation in low-tax jurisdictions as well? (Wyoming, Nevada)
From Fight Club:

"A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."

Is this Germany or elsewhere? Sounds as bad as France
It means creating an algorithm which suggests a highly probable input that provides a given output.

Check out Grover's Algorithm

How mature is this field? I get the impression that all the existing companies doing this have cracked a secret. Can a hacker-type really make significant headway in this space still? (I'm really really interested in this)
What would you suggest instead? (serious question)
Needed more penetration testing

I just had my 4000€ MacBook Pro (2017) die, 5 months out of warranty, because of a blown capacitor. (probably a $0.20 part tops)

They have to change the whole motherboard, lose all my data. Price of a new machine...

grumble, grumble

Honestly, despite your facetiousness, this is the best starting point. And then from here work up to more complex solutions if there are reasons why rhis simple one isn’t suitable

Great.. they're staring at your colors longer. What's it doing for your purchase conversion rates?
It could be related to the number of shares you allocated to your corporation when you incorporated. I can't speak more about it, as I'm no expert... but I've heard similar horror stories of Delaware companies... where its critical to pay attention to the number of shares, else you might find yourself screwed.

So like everyone else said.... get a lawyer.

... or fake your death..
