Should the authorities in a particular jurisdiction fail to enforce financial crimes, indicting a bank or sanctioning an individual in that region can effectively block all counter-parties from doing business with them (as they are now doing business with a sanctioned or indicted party).

It's hard to explain in laymens terms without sounding like some kind of "Illuminati-nut" (for lack of a better term) ):

And also requires a better understanding of interbank standards and practices, money/current-markets, SWIFT, etc.

Knowing the litany of "Chat" products that are out there, I'm not a huge fan of redundancy in communication products. I figure this must be a SaaS that completes my goals. Furthermore, many of these products are "mobile first" (as in they require SMS verification to begin using their service).

Things I'm looking for:

- I'd prefer not to maintain servers

- Must have a RESTful API or C++ SDK (we are not developing for Android / iOS independently) and we are not building a website (ie. JS SDKs are not very useful)

- Ability to add and remove users programmatically when they create accounts on our service.

- Security (obviously)

- Would prefer not to warehouse messages or be able to access them

Things I've looked at:

Open Whisper Systems "Signal" Protocol.

Pros:

- Known standard for secure communications.

Cons:

- Signal "Text Secure Server" code is unwieldy and poorly documented (https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Server)

Twilio "Programmable Chat"

Pros:

- Dynamic REST APIs

- 3rd Party hosted (don't have any servers to maintain and scale)

Cons:

- Corporate Service hosting (I know Twilio is better than most)

Thoughts?

Looking to contract help, advice on NATIVE WebRTC / Other similar P2P technologies and multimedia pipeline clients related to video streaming solutions over WebRTC.

Chromium WebRTC / GStreamer / OpenWebRTC relavant projects / commits are a plus!

I contact the city council to see if anyone had contacted them about doing residential FiOS: they referred me to a systems administrator, he stated that the city was a missing piece of "link" between the two major piece of conduit and that he thought it would be another 2 years before it was complete.

This was the extent of his answers. He did not think anyone had "contacted them" about using the existing infra. for residential FiOS

I've been very interested in community-based FiOS initiatives and I'm wondering if I should keep pushing them (the city council)?

Perhaps there is a company/group that can do a feasibility study- but I don't know what to look for on the internet so I can contact them and find out the costs of doing a study like this to submit to city council? Or should I just drop it? A bridge too far?

I believe people have used WebSockets to push these segments? Since once you have established one TCP socket connection you don't have to setup a new "session" for each discrete segment?

I'd assume it's minimum > 20 seconds depending on setup and teardown time for first "chunk" in a sequence to reach cache and be transferred to a user?
