EARLYCLAIM – Reserve your favorite username in new startups
- iancarroll 12y agoSo, I signed up, but how are you dealing with sharing the login with startups? I see three options: a) You have them hook in with you, not really ideal b) You share the password (and salt?) weakening the security as the salt has to be shared among other companies c) On your signup form they have a one-off contact with you to verify they are the "claimer" Hopefully it's C. I like the idea!

- rockyita 12y agowe sign you up with your @earlyclaim.com email and a rendomnly generated password which you can see when you are ready to do your first "real login". For now we're lean testing with startups the open API approach and it seems welcome, but open to more ideas. What do you mean with the c) option?
- iancarroll 12y agoAh, okay. It was a bit late when I wrote that. I was thinking of an oAuth interface and saying "Got a username with EarlyClaim? Login here!".
- rockyita 12y ago:) yeah we're also looking at that as a possibility, we got a round of lean calls tomorrow w/ startups that want to get hooked in and we'll see what they tell us !

- kimar 12y agoCool idea. Does it mean new startups will have access to my email? Or will you send weekly updates to all users with a list of new startups?
- rockyita 12y agonaw, we want to avoid you get spammed and a messy inbox. Startups won't have access to your email. instead we'll just send you a digest email with everything. Than when you login into the startup for the first time, you can do whatever you want with your email and password (change it or leave it as is)
- StephenGL 12y agoI like it.
- rockyita 12y agothanks man :)
