I’ve got an idea for a movie, and it goes like this: The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton has been hired to clean it up. He might not look like much, but the Ph.D.-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable -- busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot-spot. But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley.

I had an idea for an app that would be kind of like a real time posting board but limited by geolocated bursts.
I got the idea sitting in Boston Common a few years back with my camera, thinking, "I wish I could just send a text burst out that says anyone in Boston Common who wants a portrait taken, ping me."
Then I thought how this would translate pretty well to things like festivals (musicians could do things like "acoustic set here!" or concert-goers can meet up for drugs), protests, or just large urban environments with retail centers that would constantly use it for advertising sales
Anyway I figure it works on multiple levels of potential revenue, and the people I've talked with about it say the angle to play for getting VC would be to have a specific target market to try it out on.
Of course the pandemic happened but I think once people can gather again it's not the worst idea.
- would be great for at the protests toografician
- Airdrop ads?scarabin
- You can geofence your media buys, you're basically just advertising in an area at a specific time. Besides, who would install that app? it has to be OS level tozarkonite
- get enough reach.zarkonite
- Imagine getting a thousand shitty notifications such as “ anyone in Boston Common who wants a portrait taken, ping me.” yechnb

A lottery where the first person to claim the prize takes all the other participant's money.
If a ticket costs $1 and you pull out when 100 people have bought a ticket you get $100, the others get $0. If the prize goes unclaimed the ticket prize doubles every week, the cost of the ticket gets added to the pot. The prize can go unclaimed indefinitely. By buying more tickets you don't have more chances of winning you only attract more buyers with the promise of a bigger prize.Variants:
- Different tiers where bets start at $10, $100, $1000.
- You can pull out at a fraction of what you have bet, you get the same fraction of other people's bets. The rest of the money keeps playing.- So basically a hedge fund.shapesalad
- No, that's investing this is just betting.palimpsest
- wait why wouldn't you just continually buy in at 1 and then pull out immediately? wouldn't it take all the money that had already accumulated?colin_s
- Yes, but if you pull out too early you won't make much. The longer you stay the more there's a chance for people to sign up and make the pot bigger.palimpsest
- There's also the chance of just staying there with other 5 people for months like an idiot.palimpsest

Make a crypto trading bot.
You don't even need to code, back test until you get it perfect. Thank me later.

Quick question:
Are crypto trades taxed as commodities?
If so, things like trading bots could ruin you, no?
