Tarsnap is unique among the startups that get play here in getting me to open my wallet to the tune of more than the price of a T-shirt.

Tarsnap! Solo Founder, great product, great payment terms. What's not to like?
Does anyone know if Colin has anyone working with him on Tarsnap yet? Or is he still the only person working on it?
I'm still the only person working on tarsnap, unless you count some (free) help I'm getting from my brother to build a more useful website.
I think that's awesome. How long have you been working full-time on Tarsnap?
Almost 3 years -- I started making plans and designing everything in September 2006, but didn't start writing code full-time until December 2006.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! :-)
