I am looking for Lead or Senior position. Preferably as a contractor.

Ok, so you're approaching it from the technology point of view. You are interested to understand if the product/protocol is solving a real problem.

In case it is, then how do you approach evaluating the price?

The usual approach is to sum the present values of the expectations of any future cashflows.

For most cryptocurrencies, most people come unstuck at that point and just punt.

The only analytical approach I could foresee being useful would be if you could quantify the quality of the marketing of the new asset. My expectation is that that likely drives the bulk of the pricing most of the time.

This is very true. Marketing drives the perceived value a lot of the time. But this is a short/medium term trick. In the long term just the ones valuable will survive.

Do you look at specific data points to understand if the asset is overvalued or a scam?

> Do you look at specific data points to understand if the asset is overvalued or a scam?

Well yes. What you do is calculate the expectation of the future cashflows and PV them.

If there aren't any future cashflows then the fair price is zero and anything else is overvalued. That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it but you should treat it like any other form of gambling.

If the asset creator won't release any quantifiable information about the future cashflows then the correct response is to assume it's a scam until they do.

That leaves the cases where there are quantifiable cashflows. Some smart contracts fall in this category. What you do then is analyse said cashflows and decide whether the price is justified.

This is very interesting. I follow your logic for products builds on top of blockchains (e.g. smart contract types of apps).

But for protocols like Ethereum or Stellar, how do define "future cashflows"? Do you use cost of transactions? Or what is the thinking there?

It feels like a good product. I will try it soon!

One small piece of feedback. If you open your landing page from mobile, e.g. My iPhone 7, the header height is changing all the time due to the text changing dynamically. It get hard to scroll past it and keep reading.

Cheers

Thanks - fixed now! :)

Hello everybody! I am happy to share with you the app on which I've been coding for a while. I hope it will replace zapping on TV.

Ololololo shows you the daily most voted videos of the web.

You select the channel (e.g. Comedy, Science, Tech) and Ololololo will show you the best videos of the day. Users can upvote the ones they like and Ololololo will improve the daily chart.

That's it. So simple, so entertaining.

I would like to get your feedback, ideas and questions! Cheers

That's very interesting. I will search for it. If anybody else is interested http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475043/

I have very low chances of getting a visa to live in usa, since I am a dropout without a college degree. Second, I am living in London, which I enjoy very much.

Thanks anyway to clarifying me that it's mandatory to be a US company. I understand why YC needs it.

Your point is completely valid. Incorporating as UK company is not as helpful as being part of YC.

YC, rightfully, invest on terms that make them feel comfortable, since it's their money.

Nonetheless, this is something making me doubt if I will apply.

Thanks for your opinion. I appreciated it.

I understand that incorporating in US is very simple. I have done it in the past.

I just don't want to have and manage a company inside another country, while it would be much easier to have it in the place where I live.

I know that FAQs say I have to, but I was wondering if there was flexibility when it make sense otherwise.
