Ah thanks for the downvote, you're very neutral and would make a great Wikipedia contributor. /s How are the two sites not remotely in the same market? They are literally knowledge…

The might be leaving to other newer alternatives like blockchain-based Everipedia.org or Golden.com (which recently raised from a16z).

I ran that hackathon. Can confirm it happened in 2015. LA Hacks at UCLA, Evan was the keynote speaker and stayed around to talk to hackers and builders after his speech. Snapchat, …

Community is always the most important aspect, agreed! Great to hear you guys are watching the crypto prediction markets closely, they are coming up with some novel features. I'm s…

Hi Taylor, this is one of the cooler (probably coolest) consumer products to come out of facebook in a while. I was following it closely since the announcement a few months back. M…

A blockchain-hosted fork of Wikipedia named Everipedia.org has most of these features already built coincidentally. While I prefer Wikipedia over them, I have been noticing myself …

I think the real interesting private sector utility will come from implementations of the contact-tracing map instead of just the bluetooth app (which there will likely be "officia…

Do you think that GPS coordinates will be exposable with the API so that there can be public tracing maps online? Obviously a big privacy issue where the actual bluetooth ID and th…

Sounds fair. I really like the technology though and think you guys have the most unique take on paper crypto so if the actual token itself becomes a barrier to adoption due to vol…

This is a fantastic project and great idea! One thing, I believe there are 2 hurdles to adoption: Kong - the unit of account/currency and Kong - the paper money. Don't you think yo…

You're not completely off base, in fact, you are 100% on the money (no pun intended). This was such an obvious situation to everyone even remotely paying attention that you'd have …

Any link to this type of vulnerability? Sounds like a juicy read.

I love Balaji and honestly, he is very eloquent and charismatic, but being honest here...I still think that Coinbase buying earn.com was a pretty clear and obvious bail out by his …

Very interesting idea. Have you heard about Basecoin and Seigniorage shares? They are trying to do exactly that: http://www.getbasecoin.com/ Are these coins securities in your opin…

I'm particularly interested in #23 since it is clear that Wikipedia is even more dominant now than it was in 2008: More open alternatives to Wikipedia. Deletionists rule Wikipedia.…

I say this as someone whose recently been through YC. YC is getting phased out anyway. Crypto economics are doing what YC did to startup financing a decade ago. It's no longer any …

The only other wiki project I know of that's the opposite of Wikipedia for is https://everipedia.org/ which tries to be a wiki for "everything" by not having Wikipedia's deletionis…

You must be a joy at parties. Although your last sentence is profound and intuitive advice for startups as a general rule, you must be pretty insufferable in person.

Dang, it's people like you that are the reason we can't have nice things. I am pretty bearish on BAT's system myself, and I wouldn't use it personally, but it's your attitude towar…

I used to mine hardcore back in the good ole days in 2013, first altcoin boom. What are you hobby miners mining these days? I know whattomine.com has charts, but what are some of t…

What do you mean? I went to that thread and came out more confused than enlightened. And ya, I know they get stuff wrong from the news, I already said that in my original post, I w…

There's a site that tries to do that exact thing called Everipedia, but they have been frequently lambasted in the press for being wrong in their articles. I assume you can't relax…

This is completely wrong on so many points, I truly doubt that you are even honest about talking to Mr. Villardo. He wouldn't be that stupid to even insinuate something along those…

That would work except your friend would have to confirm you know only after finding Waldo himself and hashing it to compare the hash to your hash. The idea is that they don't have…

Tell that to Snapchat...
