#2Why allow hiding predictions? That means I can make a bunch of predictions and only reveal the ones that were right.

They would need to implement a feature where others can see that someone has made a prediction, and a maximum time for how long the prediction can stay hidden.
EDIT: That is exactly how it works. They write " There is no way to edit or delete a pok after you save it".

As far as I can tell the website provides no way to revoke or otherwise hide a prediction once you make it - it will always be revealed at the specified date.
Additionally, the creation screen proclaims:

#5Congrats on releasing it! The same idea was on my todo list for almost a decade:)
Have you figured out how to promote it (that's what stopped me from implementing the thing)?

#6I wonder whether predictions (aka "poks") are stored in encrypted form in their database? Knowing what people think will happen in the future is obviously rather useful information.

#7Great idea! Just submitted my first pok.
Feature request: User groups and pok access levels. Restrict pok access down to a given set of users. I imagine that a large share of the pok volume does not (and should not) concern the wider public. For example, I could have a group with my buddies, and register a pok wrt my best friend breaking up with their partner.
This group concept could be exploited in the form of a plugin that can be hooked on Slack rooms or WhatsApp groups. Every time a pok is unsealed the Futuure bot could notify the room, letting others congratulate you upon a successful prediction (or the inverse).

#8Cool stuff. Automates the process we do on Twitter where we post the hash and then a scheduled tweet revealing.
Sadly, a list of hashes isn't that interesting. So it's not that interesting to read current list.

#9Blockchain is overhypered nonsense 99.9999% of the time. But seriously this is the one in a billion projects where you should use the Bitcoin blockchain as much as I hate to say it

If you’re excited about something there’s a good chance other fellow HNers will find it interesting. Just pot it here for starters.
