I am lucky in that 1) my company is really trying to come up with a solution to allow individuals to easily keep their privacy and 2) our funders are strong libertarians who want to see this succeed more than they want an instant return. It's a difficult place to build a business, and impatient investors would make it impossible.
- EGreg 15y agoAny chance we can get in touch? My company's building something along similar lines, that will help improve privacy all over the web. And it has taken us two years to build the foundation, piece by piece. Contact me at http://qbix.com/about http://qbix.com/about
- noarchy 15y agoI hope you succeed in what you are setting out to do, if your goal is to truly protect privacy. I have to admit, though, that I am highly skeptical if the solution turns out to be closed, and proprietary. It is a huge risk to place one's security in the hands of something that is a black box.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoThank you. I think about this a lot because I totally agree with you. I'm continually asking what it would take for me to trust me. One thing I know is we can't reach the end straight from the beginning, so we are going to move incrementally. Eventually, everything has to be open. I wouldn't trust a company with 100% of my data that wasn't. However, there is 10% I would trust with a company like mine today, assuming I got benefits in other areas, and that's where we are starting.
