I'm Evan, one of the engineers working on ChainRelay. At a high level, ChainRelay is building out infrastructure for Ethereum apps, or any app that wants to get data from or send information to Ethereum smart contracts. There are lots of services that are being recreated at every company working on apps that leverage Ethereum. We are building ChainRelay to offer those same web services cheaply, at scale.
Our first product is a smart contract events API over HTTPS. There's a lot of rich data captured by smart contract events. For example, all ERC20 tokens emit a Transfer event that can be used to notify users of a change or, in aggregate, reveal interesting information about the flow of value across the Ethereum network.
Let me know what you think! We want to build services that are useful, so any feedback is appreciated.
Here's the blog post announcing the events API: https://medium.com/chainrelay/chainrelay-events-api-a306ba07...

I'm doing some market research & validation (or invalidation) for a startup that is building software tools for businesses to use Ethereum and accept Ether.
If you own a small business, would you be willing to answer some questions about accepting and using cryptocurrency? I'm looking for the whole spectrum of owners:
- those who aren't interested in accepting crypto & why
- those who have been considering it for some time, but haven't yet set it up
- those who currently are accepting it and have been paid in cryptocurrency

If you respond to this post, I'll reply to your message with a google hangout invite.
Thanks in advance!
