If I can give you a recommendation, set up a waitlist before you publish your blog post. We just went through this process with Solo (mentioned in another comment): blogging, waitlist, kickstarter. HN has been great, we hit the front page f

It’s in the KS, 5th image (the one with Solo / Solo Tap columns, and the features). Solo will sell for $17.5, and Solo Tap for $35. On KS you’re getting really good deals. :)

My recommendations for improving. 1) Make sure you can measure readers, and set yourself goals to grow. Seeing the number grow will give yourself extra commitment. I use Medium, and their weekly recap is also very motivating to me. 2) Devel

I wrote my own, MemPa [1, 2]. I'm not sure I'd recommend it because it's basically iOS-only now and with no iOS12 integration, but I'd definitely recommend a deterministic approach for at least your most important sites

This is the upgrade of U2F Zero ( https://u2fzero.com ). We're working on Solo since August, but we Conor started his project more than 1 year ago.

We’ve started Solo, an open source security key for two-factor auth. It’s cool because it’s the first to be open and support the newest FIDO2 standard. We worked for about 2 months on a kickstarter that launched last Wed and is going beyond

Be focused on a specific audience, because talking to consumers about security is very hard. First, I'd start with your friends. The first questions they're going to ask is how can I trust you're not spying what I do. If you

Conor wrote a post about this: https://conorpp.com/3d-printing-a-programming-jig-and-embedd... We're planning to release the Solo for Hackers "unlocked", meaning we'll disable the check for signed upgrad

Actually, we've received a clarification. 1) fundraisers are excluded from Show HN, it's in the FAQ, and sorry I missed that. 2) the community is generally sensitive to being marketed, and as much as we were enjoying the discussio

I think it's this one: http://www.e-wbm.com/fido_usb.jsp But I couldn't find where to buy it.

I’ve originally put Show because this is the product, the previous was the firmware, but ok. Did you also apply a penalty? We jumped from #4 to #50, and we have more votes, comments, and are newer than nyt currently in fp.

Openness? Price? Colors? NFC+USB-C? I guess it depends, we're just offering more choice. For the production. The ST processor is fabricated in Europe. The PCBs are assembled in China. The programming and testing is done in the US.

I'm also 5/5 happy with my yubikeys! Yubico is also a very open company. What is closed today is the industry of secure processors, and this is what we hope we can change. Plus, with more and more open source, we can expect more a

Yes, correct. Top feature request so far. We're just really busy with the Kickstarter now, so we can't commit on a date yet.

For the button we explicitly wanted to do something different because some people like the physical feedback. But being open, you can take the design, change the button to be a touch sensor, and make your own. If anyone does it, please keep

Thank you for the feedback - Just to clarify, stretch goals won't touch hardware/security, just special offers that everybody can benefit from. Examples more colors, free upgrade to usb-c.

1. Yes, it's called attestation, and you can read more here [1]. For example recently Amazon launched support for U2F only allowing some yubikeys. 1b. Solo will have its own attestation certificate, so you'd be able to say I wan&#

We're working on it, it's been the top feature request. We didn't want to over promise in the Kickstarter, but we support firmware upgrade, so it'll be easy to add as soon as it's ready.

FIDO2 is standardized and backward compatible with U2F, so any browser (or app) with this support should work. Specifically, they should support CTAP1/2 over NFC (or USB). I asked in the team, we're not really familiar with Lineag

Thank you so much! It's been an adventure... it's incredibly exciting to be live. And the support we've received is beyond any expectation, we reached the goal in 19 minutes!

You’re “hiding” an important aspect: you know that the two programs are equivalent, i.e. for all inputs they return the same output. This is something an algorithm can’t do. If you have a given set of equivalent algorithms and you know thei
