Promising!

This looks really promising. Would love to learn how hard would be to abstract a current implementation.

Hope this is not the case with VCs! Or is it?

Yep. And as a singer you don't have to go to AI.

Sure, sure,... but you read "The Hard Things About Hard Things" and you take a look at the Pmarca's blog and some many other first hard sources/accounts about how it's really like to run a Startup and the common theme is not that of fun. To me it has been grueling. So I can really relate to those stories. In my case is more about the challenge, not so much about having fun. Cheers!

It may disrupt the traditional way money is moved around in the River Plate: in bags and attached to body in the ferry to Montevideo.

I know of money going the other way arround. When Argentinians need the US dollars they have in Uruguay people cross in the ferry with tipicaly 50~100k, charging 2,5~3,5% fee for this "service".

Maybe there is room to provide this service with Bitcoin, selling bitcoin to this people in Montevideo and buying Argentinian pesos with that Bitcoin in Argentina.

Is it possible to make this work with a 1~2% commission using Bitcoin?
