FAKE ALERT! Guys DO NOT enter this link. It's from DISGUSTING and very dumb THIEVES. (i won't even call them hackers because i hacked them in less than 30 seconds) 1) The YCombinator is not the owner of the domain. It's a fake company registered in the Cayman Islands. 2) They are trying to rob your passwords to steal your businesses. The YC login in that page is fake. 3) They couldn't even set up a https server LMFAO. Spread the word fellows.

I'm not sure if you're a troll or just ignorant, but my startup is all about fake news, so I'll take this on. 1. Nowhere do they claim to be affiliated with YCombinator. I'm not sure why do you think YC would be the owner of the domain. 2. The company registered in the Cayman Islands is not the owner of metachat.com but the Whois Privacy company owned by the domain registrar. 3. Where do you see a "YC login" on that page? They have their own registration and login page. If you put your YC username and password in there... let's just it's pretty ironic for you to be calling someone else "very dumb".

  1) the first page was pretty “smooth” on “YC Alumni Community” chat. 2) i know all about that privacy company. Pretty choice for crooks 3) your website try to fool the user claiming it has a secure HTTPS when in fact your server isn’t secure having no https encryption at all. Very common tactics in fake and “fishing“ sites It’s fake or for the very least poorly done (actually not done) 4) i didn’t login at all. I’m not a fool. The homepage is clearly amateurish and very similar with other suspicious and fake sites.

If you go to the security tab in Chrome it says: * Valid certificate (Let's Encrypt) * Secure connection (TLS 1.2, ECDHE_RSA with P-256, AES_128_GCM) * Mixed content (The site includes HTTP resources.

In other news, "Crypto" is not the owner of https://crypto.metachat.com/ https://crypto.metachat.com/. (If you go to metachat.com they have a link where you can 'start your own community' and get your own subdomain.

Hi, I always like to read user feedback, especially if they make me smile. I created yc.metachat.com with 2 friends as a side project. We applied to YCW18 and wanted something that aggregated news about it and gave us the opportunity to chat with other people who have applied. If you would login, you would see there is quite some activity. I'm sure there are many areas of improvement to be found. To come back to your list of critiques: 1) We are not affiliated with YC, nor do we claim to be. @vinaipay already pointed out your misunderstanding about the company's domain owner. 2) Registration is a standard Laravel component that hashes your password. 3) We are loading external images from rss feeds which are not over https. Maybe that is what you are referring to. Things we will do: 1) We are putting a disclaimer on the website that we are not affiliated with YC 2) When and if this side project becomes something more than a side project, we will invest time and money to store the images and send them to you over https Note: I was tempted to write this entire post in all caps :) Have a great day!

  Let the hater hate. I really like the concept of the site and think there is room for this type of system in other areas. We are exploring a similar concept to this to integrate within our live tracking/timing for Sports. It is a nice way to aggregate updates with conversation.
