Transbox promises to protect users against any leak of their conversations and files. The app also helps companies that wish to keep their marketing, design and consulting.

How Do I Know My Info Is Safe?

“If unauthorised users wish to unlock the encrypted file, they must request a key to the owner of the information. It’s also possible to destroy the data sent through various channels. The tracking feature for the transferred data shows who has seen it and when (date). The application is protected by a dynamic security solution. Transbox is available only for Android devices. However, the company has plans to release the iPhone version within a week.”

Today I wanted to let my readers know about a cool little trading desk simulator startup called http://simulator.astutefx.com/. It’s the first site I’ve seen that simulates what trading currencies for a large market maker is like.

First go to site, next either register or sign in as a guest, and you will instantly be transported to the trading desk simulator. Best played on a laptop/mac/pc than a tablet.

Simulator Screen

Once you get this thing going you’re getting phone calls, news is coming in, you can put in or cancel orders. It’s just like a real trading desk.

About

“You assume the role of a trader on one of the world’s busiests trading desks. You will quote two way prices to multiple clients, monitor your positions and manage your risk. You will adhere to your trading limits and experience the stresses and highs of a trading day. Good performance may enable an increase in your trading limits.”

More Simulator Backstory

“Sometimes when you are having a chat with the other half, some questions pop out which you struggle to answer correctly.
When the wife asked why trading can be stressful at a large bank, giving the usual platitudes about large deals, quick pace, egomaniacs, adrenaline just didn’t seem to suffice. So I thought, better than that I’d go to the trouble of building a simulator to illustrate what trading currencies for a large market maker is like. Think trading on a spot FX Desk at the likes of JP Morgan or Citi in NY for example. Or stocks before the machines almost completely took over.”

This is a very interesting, niche simulator that I think will be very educational.

“Your condo buzzer just got smarter” is the BuzzMeHome tagline. BuzzMeHome is a new Vancouver BC Startup that automates entry into your Airbnb with access codes.

The Buzz Me Home set up process couldn’t be simpler. Just sign up and you’ll automatically get a number, give that number to your property or building manager, set up your access codes and/or forwarding phone numbers, and enjoy. It’s that easy!

Want more information visit: https://www.buzzmehome.com/

What Does The Company Say?

“BuzzMeHome is a fresh and exciting startup from Vancouver, BC. The entrepreneurs who developed this smart buzzer application are also owners and operators of a few Airbnb properties. Often interrupted by unconventional arrival times of their guests, they worked out a solution with a variety of options: multi phone line buzzer and a system of access codes. Ever since home buzzers got connected to cellular phones rather than landlines, homeowners got an opportunity to provide their guests with building access remotely. Today “smart buzzer” applications bring it to a next level. First of all, your guests and visitors can now select the exact phone line they would like to connect to. If your family members or roommates are busy running errands, there is no longer a need to run up and down the stairs to get your guests, as you have no access to the “designated buzzer” phone. BuzzMeHome allows you to forward your buzzer to as many as 10 numbers. So next time when you are trying to get to your friend’s house party and their buzzer prompts something like “Press 1 to reach Peter or press 2 to reach Emma”, do not get all too surprised. On top of the multiple phone lines connection, BuzzMeHome provides you with an opportunity to assign unlimited amount of access codes and even schedule them for a specific period of time. It means now you can focus on getting a perfect tan in Mexican Riviera, instead of trying to arrange for someone to meet your Airbnb guests and provide them with a key while you are away. Even if you are in town and busy with life, your personal helpers, nannies and cleaners can get controlled access to your home on days and times of your preference. For safety reasons you will also get a text message notification every time someone uses a code. BuzzMeHome is an ultimate tool for people with a demanding lifestyle such as multiple property Airbnb hosts, realtors, cleaning and home care service companies. One simple application allows to control up to 25 properties through a single account and no strings attached.”

How Much Does The Service Cost?

It’s very affordable, costing only $5.99/month

Does It Work In My Area?

“BuzzMeHome works in all cities in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.”

Do I Need Any Costly Hardware?

“No, there is no software, apps, hardware or equipment required. BuzzMeHome is a cloud-based system, so all you need is a BuzzMeHome phone number.”

I have a feeling this product is going to take off very soon. Get in on the service early. Hopefully it can be of use to some CashSherpa readers on Airbnb. Once again the site is: https://www.buzzmehome.com/.

I just visited the site and I’m seeing courses like “How to use After Effects composition File in Cinema 4D, Important Terms To Understand Mendel’s Work, Structure Of Mutual Funds In India, and Learn to Speak Mandarin (Traditional).” As you can see these are not basis courses, these are highly technical classes and 100% free. With more and more startups providing free or low cost education online I could see a future where self motivated, ambitious people around the world getting their education exclusively online. If I were a company hiring someone it would almost be more impressive if the job candidate learned coding, for example, online rather than at a traditional school. This would show just how self-disciplined and motivated the individual was.

“Our mission is to enrich the existing education system by providing a one stop web portal for all education information needs.

The company works at providing a very flexible solution for learning. It aims at filling the learning gaps that are present in the classroom teaching. It is imperative that the youth is provided with ample amount of study materials and there is no hindrance in the learning process.

There is a new startup called Social Prize with a unique idea. Social Prize allows Sponsors/Advertisers to contribute $10 and promote the giveaway to their user base for a chance to win a daily cash prize. Sign up at Social Prize today: http://www.socialprize.com/

What is Social Prize?

“Normal giveaway or sweepstakes SaaS ask you to design and develop your own Giveaway. You pay for the prize on top of paying them! Social Prize is a crowd funded Sweepstakes. Meaning, Sponsors, like you, contribute $10 per day toward the Prize. We host and administer the entire sweepstakes. All you do is promote and grow your list. What’s more, most sweepstakes by nature prohibit sharing, because no one wants to share the contest and lower their chances of winning. “Viral” contests are different. Contestants are incentivized to share the contest for extra entries. This creates a viral loop that can quickly help you build a massive email list. When subscribing to your newsletter, what better way to say thank you than offering up the opportunity to win cash? What’s more, Social Prize lets you give everyone who enters a freebie, maybe a coupon for 20% off, a free ebook, or access to a webinar.”

Why run a giveaway?

“Most people love giveaways, getting something for free. They’re fun and they show your community you care about their support. In return, your community will grow! And Social Prize makes this process the easiest and most effective because we manage everything and our prize, given daily, is a large cash sum (oh, that we pay for, not you…for only $10 per day – giveaway up to $5000).”

Benefits of using Social Prize

– Grow your e-mail list. See your new email subscribers in real time. Download all the names and emails of contestants in CSV. Coming soon. Aweber and Constant Contact integration.

– Promote viral giveaways that generate leads. Gain Twitter followers and Youtube subscribers.
