Get power from humans combined with solar power sounds like the matrix.

wow lol. I had a chuckle at this
Can you go a little more into success being taboo? This is quite interesting but I am not sure if we are thinking the same thing.
i wonder if it has anything related to the covid vaccine rollout? The timing coincides.
Is there a npm package for this service? I ran into a situation where yesterday where I had to use localtunnel. I tried searching on npm but didn't find a package.
1. Why would I want my store to accept payment with someone else’s gift card?
Maybe you are a high risk merchant that has trouble with CC processor such as gambling sites or adult related sites. Or you customer base is concerned about privacy and fraud. Accepting gift cards is also a great way to avoid chargebacks.

Consumers who are concerned about their privacy.
3. How do you make money?
We already make money by selling discounted gift cards to shoppers looking to save money on purchases from their favorite brands.
4. Balance verification seems a bit easier than balance transfer. The stores issuing gift cards make a fair amount of money in interest on those card balances. Cooperating with you and other stores might result in a loss of net interest income.
Some brands love the secondary markets and other don't. But i would argue it may help increase brand sales since customers may buy gift cards solely for the purpose of privacy or other reasons.
Thanks we are aware of the huge fraud problem in the space. We have a way to fight against this currently so am not too worried about this.

When dealing with thousands of gift cards how do sites like raise.com or ejgiftcards.com validate gift card balances? Is there an api do such a thing?
im working on a way to automatically check gift card balances for various brands.
you assume a 2d being needs to need or requires a digestive tract. What if that being doesn't necessarily it?
interesting we decided to bootstrap in 2016. Chasing down VC's is such a time drain when you can focus on your product.
we now have about 28k users.
i hate office politics and never was good at it. Thats why i decided to work for myself and start my own company.
Goes to show you money doesn't solve money problems. I get that first time entrepreneurs spend lavishly on advertising but 80k trips to Thailand?
I think having too much money too early is not always a good thing. Focusing on unit economics is key if your startup is going to survive.
