Big news. Nice to see more details.
- They have GAS fees. (unlike say EOS which is free). - Not sure how they will make accounts anonymous? Knowing an account lets anyone query the account balance? - They will start with permissioned chain and transition to non permissioned

BTW, I use a private VPN server which can be setup on aws in a few minutes https://github.com/webdigi/AWS-VPN-Server-Setup
No logging on server side guaranteed. AWS could monitor but I do not thinking of that as an issue for my use cases.

No logging on server side guaranteed as it is your own server. AWS could monitor but I don't mind that

5000 euros is just the start. There are plenty of software companies in Europe and lots of opportunities.
Long term pension, medical and schooling for kids, much more stable & much more opportunities than UAE. Taxes pay for themselves. However, in UAE with new vat and growing hidden taxes are high. You can even buy a house and it is like living rent free! The rents in Dubai are high and buying for long term is not recommended.
Longer term you can even look at moving to London if you like to stay in a English speaking country.

Re:Apple banning apps built with PhoneGap
on Tuesday May 19, 2009 @09:38AM (#616742)
I think the problem might be that Phonegap allows people to develop rich internet applications. From there, it's only a hop and a skip to implementing a web browser, which they do not want app developers to do. Look at these two pages to see how I arrived at that theory:
