Haha, I like "cBozos" personally, or "cozos".

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…

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 bri…

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 …

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…

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. Th…

> I find the words confusing [1] and incompatible [2][3]. 1 - for Handshake, VCs are 'used' primarily as a signal to price the coins - like in Bitcoin, the asset having a price hel…

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 ca…

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. h…

> That domains will continue to be a limited, scarce resource that are susceptible to hoarding by people with lots of money? I don't think so - note that these are for tlds, so a l…

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/lig…

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 …

+1 ryanckulp, I recommend these folks as well. I'm a developer and dev shop founder: I've heard nothing but good things about Scott, and his team at Onespeed. They've worked with s…

Neat-o!

Matthew and Rachael are pretty cool cats!

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 V…

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 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 an…

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. …
