Jered, when this all blows over and you're still around, would you be happy to write a "Lessons Learnt" thread? I bet there is a tonne of knowledge that others could benefit from, not necessarily from a technical POV, but general stuff for the 100s of people starting new businesses who maybe have never experienced failure/or don't know how to deal with failure properly.
I really do appreciate the concern and criticism.
Regarding Ababa:
I've got the Bitcoins loaded and ready to go out just waiting for him to confirm the address. He can do it here if he likes.
Regarding Niyum:
My bank is telling me that he was paid correctly on time.
I've requested additional information from the bank which takes time for them to research. I can't just login and pull it up myself. One of the biggest downsides to wires.
I've seen receiving banks fail to credit for no real reason and my bank confirming that it's been sent. Deego himself can attest to this as it's happened with him.
Regarding Omehenk:
The bank didn't send his wire the first time and didn't tell me either. It's on it's way now and hopefully will show in a few hours.
Regarding the few hundred other people I sent USD / EUR or BTC to this week:
They're all happy and got their funds without a hitch.
I'm going to begin blogging soon. I'd have started earlier if I had more time.
There's a lot that I'd like to write about. I wouldn't say a lessons learned is out of the question.
Other than grabbing a domain name and contemplating different ideas, TradeHill and it's shutdown at this point is still the focus.
I'm hoping after this week it will be a very small amount of time that I need to devote to pulling records and sending funds out.
