Each merchant has an MCP. I’m building a directory and creating a skill that lets clankers discover and interact with their MCPs. I receive a checkout link to securely complete the payment.
I've been thinking what the "agent" side means for a merchant, building yet another chatbot is not really interesting. I'm talking with some merchants and trying to figure out the answer to that question.
I've been using Truffle too. My biggest issue when getting started was the cognitive overload. If you want to try Truffle I wrote a couple of simple guides that helps you deploy your first Ethereum smart contract to a test net https://blog.abuiles.com/blog/2017/07/09/deploying-truffle-c...
Other books in my list are:
- Punished by rewards by Alfie Kohn
- On the shortness of life by Seneca
Dylan is also mentioned in that episode, since they had some kind of mutual admiration. Apparently Dylan and Cohen meetup at some point and Dylan asked Leonard how long it took him to write Hallelujah and he lied saying "2 years". Then Cohen asked Dylan how long it took him write "I and I" and Dylan said: "oh, like 15 minutes".
If you are interested in exploring more, I annotated a bunch of fun facts from that episode https://www.listeningcrowd.com/podcasts/1-revisionist-histor...
I do not offer a signup button because I don't want to take every company, I prefer to talk with them first, understand what they are doing, and then decide if I take them as clients or not.
Is super useful, even though It wouldn't give me the email I was looking for, it would show me the "structure" used for emails inside the company:
first_name@domain.com
first_name.last_name@domain.com
This is perfect for doing customer development, also if you are doing cold reach outs remember to follow the CAN-SPAM act.
I feel it is a more personalized chat :)
btw, I'm Colombian, we don't need visa for Russia and Turkey (Data not available yet in your DB).
That's true, I remember a client once asking me why was my rate so much higher than the average (I'm located in Colombia).
I agree with this, as a freelancer/remote worker, one of your key assets is communication.
How about this: if you were highly skilled and experienced, as a rule you would have moved to the US for the greater opportunity and the big bucks
Makes sense, though there are a couple of things to consider one of them is visa issues. Also, not everyone wants to live in the U.S or Europe or leaving their hometown.
I've worked as contractor for companies in the U.S and Germany, normally I would just send them a receipt and received my money without problems in my bank (I did have to take care of the taxes in my country).
I've seen projects like the one you mention above too, they were people who hired guys for $5/hour and expect to have the best work in the world. You get what you paid, I guess.
For instance I know at least 3 companies owned by Americans in my city, all their customers are in the U.S, the developers all locals, and they just act as "middleman". Seems like there are still some cultural barriers here?
