Here is my new strategy. Let my current "programmer" if you will... finish what hes doing. Im so tired of dealing with this so in the mean time im focusing more on the business and lining everything up. There is actually as much work offline as online.

Gary gave a great idea and im going to do something once a month to meet programmers, whatever that may be.

As far as equity goes i just do not see a valid reason to give equity. I would never share profits with some guy who could turn out to be a bum and then im stuck. If my best friend was an excellent programmer...maybe but for now its not worth it. It is an ever going process for sure.

My main thing more than anything is security. Everyone i speak to whether they are a horrible programmer or seem to have done decent size project none of them know too much in security. I do not need some crazy great platform right now but it is too much sweat equity.

Its like this ...imagine when mj was starting out he had a database of all the companies he called or whatever he did to get them there was stolen instantly. Haha that might actually have happened but still. I think i will contact a security "guru" and let him charge me a ridiculous amount of money for a few hours to help me out
