That's awesome you set this out for yourself. Almost every bright person and genius I know are all self taught, kudos for jumping in the pool and the best of luck. Keep us updated.

Hi Aaron I'm interested in this space too, especially around the latter. The issue with money transfers U.S & regulatory practices hindering any innovative development on the international front. What have your experiences been with facecash in that area?
Glad to see you guys going strong. I attended the meetup back in 2010 at that small coffee shop. I'm no longer living in the area however; I wish you guys lots of good engaging conversations.
I sort of expected this reply, needless to say I'm not surprised. I compiled the list just so people will know, if they go after this thread, then they're sickening.

In order to use Republic's $19 per month plan, you must purchase its specially modified LG Optimus smartphone. A clone of the Optimus S available from Sprint, Republic's Optimus includes software that manages the switch from Wi-Fi to cellular networks automatically. The software permanently runs in the background, so it is likely to have an impact on battery life when compared with a normal Optimus smartphone. The Republic Optimus costs $199 without any contract commitment.
