welcome
Thanks!
Cool, used to live in Phnom Penh myself - welcome to the forum!
Greetings fellow Bitcoiners. Here is my newbie introduction post.
I've been a bitcoin fan for a while... thankfully, but just now thinking of getting more involved in the bitcoin community. Although I find bitcoin fascinating for a large variety of reasons but what really interests me these days is the idea of Decentralized Autonomous Corporations (DACs). See Protoshares, Mastercoin, Colorcoin. I'm fairly new to the topic but I can't seem to stop thinking about the idea. Seems to me a whole new way for humanity to self-organize. As a software developer... I can't remember a more interesting area to devote myself too. Looking forward to helping build-out the future!
Ps. As for the living in Cambodia part... it just seems like a good time to internationalize oneself.
Pss. I'm also an Android App developer. I think it would be great if there was an alternate market to the Android Playstore which sold apps in bitcoin and offered bitcoin as a payment solution to the developers. It is unlikely that Google, Amazon or Apple are going to do this as they are all experimenting with their own payment systems. Unless someone wants to develop a market this might be a perfect opportunity for a third party appstore like SlideMe.org. I know I would love to sell apps in bitcoin at a discount with less transaction cost and I would love to be paid in bitcoin. I would also happily buy all my Apps with bitcoin to help grow the economy. I've written SlideMe myself but maybe more people would like to write them and suggest the idea.
