Interwiew with Lazslo Molnarfi (Lacicloud), Payiota founder
A few weeks ago when I was looking for a payment method for clients who used Woocomerce I run into this project. Payiota permits integrate Iota with E-commerce.
I wrote to Lazslo in Reddit to ask him if he would be willing to make this interview and he said: “I’m just going to let my thought stream flow freely and I’ll put it down on paper”,
So I recommend you, take five minutes to read this interview and discover his thoughts.

Tell us about your background, what did you do before cryptos?
Well, I started getting into computer science at the age of four. In the beginning, I just fooled around with Windows (deleting system32, reinstalling it, random software, etc – Now I prefer Linux-based of course), and as the years passed I acquired more and more knowledge relating to IT, from which I eventually developed a passion for it. I always wanted to learn a programming language (before that I was only apt at customizing software, not at creating it), and decided the best way to do that would be to create my (first) project, LaciCloud. It is a privacy-focused flexible FTP(s)-based cloud storage (https://lacicloud.net), and the second-place winner of the 2016 ESSS science competition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaqlRoFU5VM). As you can see on the website I had help from Tristan Thompson and Fabio Barbero, mostly for design-related aspects of the site. Currently, it has 100+ users (yearly income of 40€), and it was a great learning experience, not only in programming but also in server administration. It was only after developing LaciCloud that I had thought of creating PayIOTA – and thanks to the experience gained, it only took me around two months to develop the latter, whereas it took me two years to make the former.
Tell us a bit about you and your approach to the cryptographic world
I am from Hungary (but living in Belgium) and 17 years old. In addition to computer science (in which my favorite areas are: cyberforensics, cryptos, machine learning, interdisciplinary CS subjects), my other areas of interest include languages, mostly humanities as subjects and activism (political activism at school mainly; if you look ___hard enough you might even find a few articles I wrote).
