How do you get in a market like that? We tried but failed because the owners didnt like the fact that we where from "the city".


I was doing consulting work in the space, saw a need, and built the product. I came into it knowing the traits of farmer, the lingo, etc. That and a good product have helped us gain trust


Find a cofounder who can talk comfortably with the country folk*.


Or add a noscript element.


Good call. Done.


Switzerland wants people to spend the money from cryptocurrencies there. There's a lot of money to attract.


not as big as you think it is. current market is mostly manipulated, and liquidity is not as much.


Google is doing this with everything. In the end they will answer almost every query directly, except when you are looking for a site. Even then, they could try to identify what do you want from that site (if you use chrome or the site has google analytics) and show you the info you are lloking for.


COBOL, C++ and Java?


This so much. Keeping your email out of the spam folder it's simply painful.


You might have made your domain public with that email address...


It is, but not more than a landing page. The project is hosted elsewhere for now.

Are they "caching" responses or that offer is tailored to your user/cookie?


My guess is either (a) they're pulling the original price from a DOM element and not checking if there's also a sale price (most sites with sales prices will show the original and the new price), or (b) looking for schema.org product data and not looking at the correct item [0].

[0] http://schema.org/Product


At least they are honest.


Did they buy something? You can make PayPal reverse thr transaction. I was on the other side of this before, a scammer used a stolen account to pay me. PayPal reversed the transaction and I couldn't do anything. Really unfair considering that I wasn't the one phished.
