You're happy to more companies set up shop in this space? Telo was around long before FullContact was founded, albeit under a different name.


Hmm. It's working for me. Is anyone else having this issue?


We built our fraud mitigation system from the ground up. It's rather complicated, but it boils down to properly matching the user on our site against the information available about the real cardholder. It's not a single acquiring bank to underwrote our merchant account -- we work with several.


Thanks, Randall!


Nobody else allows people to sign up and instantly purchase $1000 of bitcoin in less than two minutes.


The terms of service don't actually link the delivery terms they mean to incorporate by reference, and they incorporate themselves by reference.

The whole section there needs some fixing.

More of an opinion, but to me, Trucoin will effort to deliver your currency within minutes, but in the event of an unforeseen problem, please allow up to 24 hours. is a long winded way of saying that you allow yourselves up to 24 hours.


It has never actually taken longer than a few seconds for us to deliver bitcoin, despite the wording we use there.


Yeah, I understand. You still give yourselves 24 hours. I guess I think it's a weird spot to promote your performance, especially if you aren't willing to stand by it (that's the message please allow 24 hours sends to me).


Hi Chris Brunner here, from EveryoneAPI.com. I agree that this is not a ripoff of our product. As uqimu stated, we're solving the same problem, but we use very different sources. While social is a component that we utilize, it is not our primary source. hackmorris is correct that we'll be adding more datapoints from social shortly, and uqimu is correct that we don't offer all of it today.

I look forward to checking out the Contactive API, and perhaps even having a discussion with them to see if there is an opportunity for us to work together.

In the meantime, since our product was mentioned here, I'd be happy to field any questions.


Pennsylvania, which you can tell from their area code. It doesn't look like traffic pumping.


> It doesn't look like traffic pumping.

What makes you feel confident about this? The assertion that "We get paid from termination" strikes me as very much that sort of arrangement. Perhaps I'm abusing terminology.


Are you associated with Confnow? I only ask because of the newness of your account.
