No account at Coinbase or any other online exchange is required to own bitcoin. In fact, to have someone else hold your money is against the spirit of Bitcoin.

Everyone is their own bank. All you need is a Bitcoin wallet and I recommend exactly that app, Bitcoin Wallet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach....

There are many others as well. BitPay has a user-friendly one called Copay: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitpay.cop...

I tried it. It didn't do anything for me, but to each his own.

Asana 10 years ago

I tried to like Asana. I gave it several tries over the years, but the UI is so uninspired it seemed to drain my creativity. It looks polished though.

I'll reword my comment since you seemed to miss the point: Civic duty goes hand-in-hand with sanitation and health rights. Otherwise, it is unsustainable, even counter-productive to provide toilets for an Indian population that will not use them or maintain them.

This is a wonderful idea, but sanitation and health rights goes hand-in-hand with civic duty to where one lives and works. It's not just the responsibility of governments to keep an environment safe and clean. Citizens must do their part, such as minimize their ecological footprint, pick up litter in their communities, be a good neighbour and so on.

A sense of civic duty seems to be amiss nowadays. Just look at the streets strewn with litter, or the runaway urban sprawl by rich land developers who have no regard for natural habitats.

We can't just throw money at the problem. That's not sustainable. People need to be educated to take responsibility for their surroundings.

We all have an impact on the environment. We all have a say. It is our world.

Love the idea, but can't this be gamed by using synthetic pheromones? Pheromone colognes for the purpose of attracting women have been available for awhile now.

I'm seriously questioning their technical competence not just from support but also from development.

Have to agree with you there. I tried their online office apps a few times over the years (also recently) and was surprised how limited and kind of janky the software is. They don't seem to be improving.

Patrick Swayze said it best in Dirty Dancing: “Nobody puts Baby in the corner.” Well, the wrong domain can put you in a corner. The right domain can open the world.

I had no idea Patrick Swayze was such an authority on domain names and branding. Golden line though.

I did something similar. It has the domain and a description of the business idea I had: http://startjumper.com

BTW: Ignore the prices. If you see something you like, contact me and we'll work something out.
