I upvote a lot. Most of the people on here are posting personal work they have put their lives into.

Wow.. I know a few startups that just killed after this announcement.

Bringing west coast hidden cash to the east coast -- love it

The idea is really based on crowdsourced discounts. Creating a win-win for advertisers and consumers. Will be interesting how the market reacts.

We have security measures in place for suspicious activity! We have to protect our advertisers.

Hey, sorry for the confusion. Each video you watch decreases the price of the item for sale. In addition to the price decrease, you get vidfall points. These points are used at the 50 to .01 ratio. It is just an added bonus. Something users get even if they don't make the purchase. Users can apply these points at any time.

Thanks, yea we were definitely inspired by the penny auction sites. However, we saw them as predatory. The nice thing about VidFall is you can't lose any money. Just a fun way to get discounts on gift cards. Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry you feel that way. Thanks for checking us out! Cheers!

Hey the watchers variable is dependent upon the number of people actually watching videos. We were making a TON of calls to our ad networks at the peak of the HN craze, but not all the videos were coming through. That is why the viewer variable was all screwy. Lots of work ahead, appreciate the constructive criticism!

Hey, we ship each night at 6pm! Your card should arrive then. Thank you so much for giving us a try.

Definitely need to work on the pitch a bit. Thanks, this will put the fire under me to get around to cleaning that up. Appreciate the kind words!

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words. We ship out around 6pm every night. We have a lot to do today!

Wow, well thank you HN for the support. Really incredible to be on the front page. You guys blew up AWS! Cleaned up the DB issues! Let's party!

Stripe is awesome. We use stripe on VidFall.com... our alpha launch is on 3/10, would love to see you there.

Talk to the customer directly! Pick up the phone and call them.. Everyone tries going viral.. but your chances are so slim. Let your customers do the work for you. It won't happen overnight, but if you believe in the process, it will work.

But sooo much streaming?

hahaha awesome idea!
