This is laziness and I'm disappointed it got on Product hunt. What's next Uber for coffee because you can't find a Starbucks? Come on...

@mzuvella disappointed it got on product hunt? it's a democracy, people vote for what they want they find interesting. This just got posted on TechCrunch as well, so i think that it definitely fits the audience.

@_jacksmith Nimbl is meant to be an alternative to getting cash in real time without having to go to an ATM. nnThis product isn't for everyone, for those who find value in this type of service will most likely use it again. nnIt's a tad bit unfair to say what should & shouldn't be on Product Hunt based on subjectivity. nnTry it out... You might change your opinion nnAlways welcome constructive feedback!nnxoxonNadsnn

Product HuntCash is still a necessity sometimes (a surprisingly large number of bars only accept cash in SF) but an ATM is never that far away and most likely faster than a courier.

/ syndicate@rrhoover I believe this was originally inspired by @jordancooper .. Link above.

Rich Roll Podcast 197 - Jesse Itzler@rrhoover Also where are the mentions of security or protections? This seems like a great way for a brutal armed robbery.

@rrhoover Good points, also ATM fees are usually less than or equal to $5.

Hear and Now@jordancooper often mentions this from time to time in the wildcard office, fun to see it come to fruition in a way. I always thought if someone was to do it, it'd be built on the "venmo graph" and be more peer to peer than courier - worker based.

GrowthHackersThis concept has been around for generations in other parts of the world in the form of Hawala & its regional variants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawala

Linear@AnujAdhiya Hawala would be better compared to TransferWise ;) They're not delivering cash to you...

Seems like this would be better served starting in Williamsburg where a ton of restaurants are still cash only. I rarely run into any cash only places in Manhattan, and they have all the atms anyway. There are barely any big banks in north brooklyn and many of the restaurants or bars operate on a cash only basis. I would consider using it then.

Great way to make yourself look like a street corner drug dealer too.

I'm confused how they make money, even if they layer in tips - $5 isn't enough to pay the couriers.
Report
@_jacksmith Yup, this just doesn't scale. Maybe if it was a percent but at $5 they have to make 30 deliveries a day to make it worth wild.
