Title: 100k+ New Startup attempts in bitcoin ? (coursera.org)
Post by: Insu Dra on June 18, 2013, 07:58:45 AM
So today a new course started on coursera.org, they claim to have 100k+ people participating, including me. Little did I know the goal of the course would be to build a bitcoin based crowd funding website for your startup. Part of your grade will be based on how meany bitcoins your project raised.

If there claim off 100k+ is true and just 1% of these make it to the final project that’s still a big number. So all be ready to see a huge amount of new projects popup and people asking for your beloved btc.

There must be some sing ups that read this forum or new people coming on to these forums.
My goal has to do with domain names, namecoin and pgp ... more to come on that.
Are you one of them ? If you are what is your startup about ?

I joined the course some weeks ago and today, what a surprise when reading the course material. It's awsome. It's realy a sweet big news.

Cherry on the cake, it also learn nextgen coding with node.js (& meteor.js framework I think).

This looks like alot of fun. I had been interested in node.js, but haven't had a project for it. I also apparently need alot of help in my market research.
