10/10 idea & execution. 1/10 logo seems a bit... too similar to Apollo GraphQL. Down to the font selection?


Yeah we changed names a week or two ago and the logo has not caught up yet :)


Now if only we could force all hackathon judges to read this...


Dwolla never had native support for bitcoin transactions. We've always been used as a gateway between USD -> BTC by exchanges such as MtGox, BitInstant, etc.

This is still the case, and is still very much possible and active.


Sorry, I should've been more clear; I didn't intend to talk about native support. I was referring to the "gateway" service explicitly. The only reason I brought this up was because Dwolla was missing from BitInstant last week, but now Dwolla appears to have resurfaced back on BitInstant's form.


Right... I've been working with the BitInstant guys to bring back Dwolla support, and make it better than before :)


Oops :) Sorry guys. Should've mentioned its US only...


Ahahahahahaha... Wtf?! I've never had that happen before...


It's sort of a joke for April Fools day. I have a very strange sense of humor...


That's totally your up to you... We'll give it to you anyway you want it.


What kind of cow? How was it raised?



Paypal only lets you send in up to 250 rows, right? We've set that to 2,000 - and also uncap it for trusted users... At 250 records, the fee difference might not be much, but at 2,000 - it can quickly add up to a nice sizable sum, don't you agree?


I am confused. Paypal charges the fee per transaction. running mass pay 1000 times with 1 transaction is the same price as running it 4 times with 250 transactions. Paypal lets you run as many total transactions as you want. The max batch size is 250.


PayPal MassPay charges per trxn.

PayPal MassPay API: 250 trxns max per call

PayPal MassPay Manual CSV upload: 3,000 trxns


With a CSV. You can do as many as you want via the API.


If only the US banking system was as advanced as Europe's...


I don't know whether that's sarcasm or not.

I originally didn't include "UK" in my post, but then realised that my knowledge was only of UK banks and that like direct debits it may be a country specific thing.


No no, it was actually sincere. I think that the UK's financial ecosystem is far more advanced than ours in the US... Money transfers are faster, more secure, and there's more of a general sense of progress...


Except for that one bank that managed to not be able to run it's nightly batches for nearly a month earlier this year. (RBS I think?)


FWIW, CSV upload for ACH payment is a typical feature of online banking for business accounts in the US.


There are a few services like this out there, but they use the "old rails" (e.g Paypal, ACH, etc), and they charge fees per batch, as well as per transaction. So yes, there are similar things, but all of them are wildly more expensive...
