In a way, I'm saying that: 1. I want a project like Handshake to be successful as well, and I agree it has a long way to go - the trade-offs are numerous, high-magnitue, and (sadly) opaque. But also, 2. Having seen first-hand how these

You raise some extremely good points here, and you're right, the trade offs are massive, partially due to how early the project is. My view is that maturity of the project will bring some of the answers everyone is looking for. As an a

Same! I'd be interested in a chrome plugin that prevents this.

Yeah! It's nice to be able to see the opportunity in bad UX.

Have you built/coded/made/delivered things to other people? Being on the other side of the table, so to speak, may help - as receiving their criticisms (and knowing internally why you didn't think of making it better, o

I'm not a member of the Handshake team, and I don't have control over what comments get posted. This is a Show HN - I am sharing something I have helped make, that other people can play with. That was my only intention, and I&#x

It looks to me like a lot of discussion about the viability/usefulness of Handshake itself, which I have no problem with; the post sparked a discussion, and that's cool with me. There are a couple of things about Bob I'd lik

If the chain benefits people, the sponsors are likely to profit. Early in the life of any public protocol, there will be some discovery process while word gets out and early use cases are tested: for public blockchains, that process includ

Yes, this is true, but the transfers are being enabled later today (evening Pacific). Transfers will be enabled on Block 2016, and blocks are ~every 10 minutes - right now ~1960. https://hnscan.com/?page=/blocks If you

Hey Jimmy - I hope the bitcoiners that eventually read this thread can get both sides, as many project teams have received some version of the "do it on bitcoin with sidechains/lightning/liquid/rsk" refrain. I thin

I think this is a great question - I'll paraphrase my interpretation: "What does enforcement look like when a big name / known trademark is registered?" - I'll answer the question again in a different way. Will retu

Vancouver-based founder here. What's the best way to stay on top of this -- apply through the front door? Would be up for connecting with others looking to apply when YC comes to Vancouver.

Neat-o, thanks for sharing! I can see why you'd be happy with hangouts, it does get the job done. For us, where everyone is remote (I haven't seen my team's faces for over 6 months), the marginal utility of a tool's deli

The BTC idea is actually something close to my heart. In a past life I played a lot of online poker, and was able to travel without any cash just by meeting fellow poker players and exchanging USD for cash at whatever the local rate was. T

Interesting. Is your entire company distributed, or is there the option to have some face-to-face collaboration? I haven't worked on a team where everyone was happy with hangouts. Yeah, maybe a few people go "eh, works, no major i

Sub 10-hour projects are an odd niche. May I ask why that number? Typically, top-tier programmers are able to charge more for shorter engagements because they can get clear on requirements quickly and build the "right thing" corre

Hands down, screen-sharing software that "just works" would be awesome. Our team uses Screenhero over hangouts, and even when everyone has rock-solid internet there are connection/stability issues. Pretty much anything that
