I recently reached out to active participant on ET, who offered me programming services thru his partner. The overall result was a disaster, they provided no deliverable and refused to refund the money I paid him. What's more disturbing is that they have my strategy logic and refuse to sign a non disclosure agreement. Bad move on my part. I won't name names, my attorney is already working on this. If anyone is considering entrusting there hard earned work with overly generous ET'ers USE CAUTION!!!!!

...wait, so you gave them your algo specifications BEFORE you got an NDA signed?

You paid them upfront?

I got some swampland in Florida you might be interested in. Prime development property! PM me.

The CIA has technical projects they don't want people to know much about. They break them up into pieces and parcel them out to subcontractors.

I've worked for consulting companies, usually a contract is set up so that payment occurs at various milestones in the project. At every milestone the customer inspects the work and has the option to pay for work to that point and either continue or quit.

Why not name the name? Wouldn't you want to protect someone else in the future?
