What about taxes and double taxation.

But you don't pay taxes unless you cash out or pay your salary

your getting a lot of bullshit answer bro.
firstly the most important thing to base this decision on is what you are selling and to whom.
if you are a b2c play, then the headaches of charging VAT at the point of consumption are painful for a small businesses.
if you are a b2b play, then you need to think carefully about your main selling market, presumably US? incorporating offshore could be good, but you may not benefit from the favourable double taxation agreements within a more developed economy.
again depending on what you're doing there are scenarios where you may want to hold the IP within an onshore/domestic company, and sell thru your offshore subsidiary to reduce tax burden, whilst charging the onshore/domestic entity a simple royalty for using the IP (this is a good workaround for DTA issues).
Most jurisdictions in Europe have some type of incentives for incorporating a start-up... mediterreanean countries cheap and govt subsidised labour... UK very low capital gains (10%) for qualifying entrepreneurs, etc, etc... depends what's important as success criteria for your business.
finally consider if you need contracts with customers, no business in the US is going to want to do business with you under Estonia law contracts... UK law yes... there are hidden costs down the line depending on the nature of your business.
actually incorporating a company anywhere in the developed world takes very little time... that's the last thing you should base your decision on.
speak to a business registration expert in your country... it is worth the 1k or so in fees you will pay to incorporate with them.
czech republic and estonia look breddy gud
if you make more than six figures a year, look into malta holdings

>>no business in the US is going to want to do business with you under Estonia law contracts
like i said it depends what you're hoping to be selling.
if its bespoke services, or software or anything high ticket value... if you're an Estonian or Czech company or whatever, a US buyer is going to insist on using their paper for the underlying contract/agreement... and it will be governed by US law. this will mean you need to have US law lawyers for the redlining of agreements... there are hidden costs on where you choose to incorporate... its not just about the tax regime.
there is a reason the UK is one of the top places in the EU for early stage and seed businesses...
