This is one of those things that you take a look at and you say "oh thats nice", then you take a second look and yoou're like "Holy shit, that's life changing"<p>Crowd tilt literally just became the company that can work with any range of major processors to split up payments and allow the payment gateways, processors etc to worry about what they do best, at 1% it would be alot of work to go replacing their system and yet it will still rake in profits for crowdtilt.<p>As someone who has watched them from the start and met both founders I always knew that good things were coming but this move could actually change online commerce for the better, its just awesome.
I was buying tickets on StubHub the other day and was pleasantly surprised that they have an option to "split the cost" with someone. Awesome because buying tickets always ends up being such a risky business -- if your friend doesn't show up or cancels last minute<p>What's awesome about this is that one day hopefully it wont just be crowdtilt but everything. Airlines, tickets, hotels.
Awesome idea - we've been considering a feature at FamilyLeaf that would have required building something like this, but this API would make it much more feasible. Looking forward to trying it out!
This is crazy. Very smart and perceptive move, and it puts the power of crowdfunding directly into the hands of the masses.<p>I wonder if this will spin out ton of niche-specific platforms. This does remove some of the heavy lifting, but the hardest part about building a crowdfunding marketplace is priming the marketplace.
This looks amazing.<p>Once available, a live sample of someone using it for a specific purposes would be even more amazing / would help show just how awesome this is.
Looks great, but I wonder how this goes beyond <a href="https://github.com/lockitron/selfstarter" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lockitron/selfstarter</a>?
