I'm really surprised there's no reference of Box / Aaron Levie. Named Inc's entrepreneur of the year, this year, Box started off with a cold email from Aaron Levie to Mark Cuban: http://zurb.com/soapbox&#

These are some very solid counter-arguments to the awesomeness of what Coin could be, and I really hope you're wrong... but you make some very solid points, with the experience to back it up.

Coin is taking something that's outdated -- and unnecessarily physical, and offering a layer of digital on it to create many cards into one. Yes, this is "doable" with existing technology, but not for the common man. Security

That's a really good suggestion, but some top shops won't waste their time. In our early days, we would have done this at DarwinApps - now, we need to know the long-term is there before we start investing our time and thoughts beh

Solid point, but I do think most actions start with the intention for positive outcomes in some manner, and in at least someone's interest. Passive aggressiveness specifically - I do think is a waste of time, stress, and efforts all ar

Have you tried http://www.LaunchSky.com ? 19$ to pitch the idea or launch to a crowd of entrepreneurs -- you get stats, feedback, and emails -- and it's rumored that promo codes for free or super cheap submissions are as sim

I think? I like what you're trying to do here, but it's really unclear what you're offering. If this is a way to pull profile pics from service, I tested twitter and facebook for my own account: no dice. I'll check back

Yes, the article was lengthy and a bit all over the place -- but the general negativity towards it in these comments is a bit much. My assumption is that the author is not a hardcore engineer by trade, but it's apparent that he's

good catch -- precaution on my end for potentially later linking to home if we have a further release or something like that. I didn't realize it could trigger something like that, and not sure if that is the cause, but perhaps it was.

Update - they changed the title to just "LaunchSky". Less misleading, yes - but also not very encouraging for a click through or upvote. No one knows what LaunchSky is yet, that's a part of the reason we're posting here.

Thanks! These are the kinds of things we love to hear, but please let us know what suggestions you have for bettering the experience and/or idea validation process from your side.

Sorry again about that, definitely confusing/misleading. I emailed info@ycombinator.com with the request - it seems to be the only access to mod email. If there is a way I can edit the title on my own, or someone else I can get in touc

Thanks for the kind words -- if there's anything you think we can do to better the experience for the users, or more importantly: get a better sense of validation for the ideas coming through LaunchSky, we're all ears. Please feel

Really good input - sorry about that. Unfortunately, this is NOT referencing an IPO :) I can't seem to change it on my own, will try to get in touch with an mod. If there is a mod reading this, please adjust the title to: "Startin

Take a look at how Dan Martell's clarity.fm handles the scheduling issues. They have a really nice "rule of 3" UI process (it's easier for humans to pick 3 times, or narrow 1 of 3) for each side selecting availability, and then match down f
