Hey,

i dont want so sound harsh, but you need to think a bit more about the UI-Part. For example, where do i see how much money can be spend on the coins?

Maybe a status bar at the top with all the important stuff for the player is a good starting point.

But the use of an alternative is only possible, if the alternative is on/near the same level of usablity as the product that is market leader. If it's not the case, than most users won't switch and there is also the factor of the "mental burden" to switch to a product you're not used to and stay in the "preferred loop".

I see timescale more as an alternative option, since the OP also aksed for this. - And you're right, since Timescale is an postgresql extensions, it also has the same benefits/problems as postgresql itself in this manner.

Sand =! Industrial usable Sand. Not all kind of "Sand" is suited for the industry(today). Most desert/dune sand is to fine grained and has a smooth surface, so that it is unusable to create strong material. There are some projects/studies already that use "desert sand + X" to create "strong" material.

I use also UBlock Origin and there is really clear difference. With NoScript you can Browse most of the Sites without Javascript-Gimmicks like Parallax-News-Scrolling (for example Bloomberg) or On-Site-Embeded-Advertisemet (no JS no Ads). UBlock is nice but without NoScript it is not good enough for my personal taste.

I think your expierence in a system/framework or programming language is a key factor in "fast" development and to be honest, the question for the "easiest and fastest" framework is totally wrong and you won't get nothing out of this question. All answers will come from people with different expierence levels in programming, frameworks, projects and many other things - all answers are biased towards the expierence of the person who answers your question.

The biggest problems with this kind of Marketplace is(without the ignored points):

- convincing local Shop-Owners at first (this should be a no brainer but it isn't - many won't see still today any value for this )

- to invest in modern Systems (even if you subsidize the cost of it, there is a chance that many owners dont do/want it)

- bring local shops/stock online (the easy part, because it can be done without further involment of the owner)

- train the local shop owners (it is still a big part in this kind of projects and the costs are high, because many would prefere a face to face training. - lack of PC / Web Skills)

- keep the owners on the marketplace (some local shops will see a increase in transactions but most of the shops will not(they get just more work with no gain), so you have to subsidize some kind of cost(no fees for example) and pamper the shops to stay)

- getting steadiliy new shops into the system (because many shops will leave at the moment you want money from them or - see point above.)

- keeping officials of city/county, VC's etc. involved (with money, press or whatever - subsidizing all of this needs money and manpower)

Sorry, but we are talking about evading tax in europe and that apple and many other big corps are doing this with aggressive tax planning is an undeniable and occupied fact.

No offense, but you just try to "wash out" the discussion in the "whole tread" with the same generalized arguments over and over again - by simply deny the fact.

Talking any further make no sense.

Infrastructure is a bit different, because it is interchangeable and your IP isn't. It make sense to use IT-Services and Hosting, but i think there are also many cases when a companie should think about the cost of cloud(instead of easy and fast setup - pinterest and many others burned high amount of capital ) or a move to another Hosting/Cloud service(better price or stop paying a rival - netflix and amazon aws).
