You are likely right about all of these things. I agree commercial E-mail providers don't currently have a reason to offer JMAP support. Thunderbird already has robust IMAP support…

hrm, handful of new github stars in one day? That's odd. Must have gotten picked up by something. Oh, HN repost of a blog post I wrote 3 years ago, cool! To sum up my thoughts abou…

Hello, author here! Not sure who posted this old blog article but great to see an interesting discussion and new interest in the project. Development is active and we always apprec…

Sentiment analysis is not new, and I would imagine it's ancillary at best to a proper trading outfit. Well equipped market makers and HFTs make money on price movement (and exchang…

I checked out the git source and built it from there. It was non-trivial to get it built and configured properly for JMAP, but I wanted the latest as the spec is still in flux.

Yep. Also I think they are using it for a subset of customers. While JMAP support in Cypht is still new, so far it's working just like IMAP, but my testing is limited since I just …

Nope, you are exactly correct. JMAP is just a much more modern and efficient way to connect clients and servers to access E-mail.

JMAP actually does support replacing both. My next TODO item for Cypht is integrating SMTP support with JMAP.

I have been running Open Source projects for about 15 years, which implies moderating the communities around those projects (in my case, very small communities). I'm familiar with …

A digital library sort of implies centralizing? I think this thread explores how you can contribute to decentralization of the hosted content: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=…

Blockchain actually could be used to provide data integrity in a distributed environment with known bad actors (presuming that they fall under the 50% threshold), but that is not a…

This will be my first year attending the annual event, and I'm super excited! I'm a long time fan of the Wayback Machine, even though my early work is terribly embarrassing :) Love…

Your points are valid, but not entirely correct IMO. What you are describing as abuse is "quote stuffing". Sending in buy or sell orders to move the market with no intention of ful…

No exchange operator is doing "gods work" :) Seriously though, you are correct. Market makers are an integral part of how the markets function. Do they skim money from trades becau…

The liquidity comes from the HFT market maker's own money. Market makers are required to post bid and offers of a reasonable level of liquidity in all symbols they are registered t…

Firms with enough money to spend _can_ get a more accurate view of the market. The issue is proprietary data feeds. A trading platform is required to disseminate information to the…

While it's true that stock exchange operators are private companies, they are also SROs that undergo significant scrutiny from various government organizations (FINRA, SEC, etc). M…

I'm terrible at naming things. It is supposed to be a homophone for "sift", and it's just odd enough that the domains were super cheap :) I toyed around with adding a phonetic "sif…

We have an open issue at github for PGP support, and it's something I definitely want to pursue. The big concern is private key security and how to balance that with usability.

I felt that it most accurately represented my intentions for the software.

I did not, thanks for the info. Looks interesting.

I appreciate the suggestion, and will get a screenshot page added to the site. In the meantime, here are a few blog posts with more shots: https://unencumberedbyfacts.com/2016/09/0…

Wow, thanks for the kind words! I submitted this last night hoping to drum up some support for the project. I never dreamed it would be on the front page when I woke up!
