The app looks beautiful but I think the biggest thing your landing page fails to do is convince me why I need this AND Coinbase or why this is better than Coinbase.
What we need is to decouple the online service from the app on your device. Maybe someone could develop a secure app with a nice API or protocol that users can securely connect to 3rd party services without fearing that the key in their device could be stolen.
PS: Ugh, not sure what I said that was so controversial. Always annoying to get downvoted for no reason. Oh HN.
hive is an alternative to running something like bitcoin-qt, which uses a lot of bandwidth and compute to keep up with the bitcoin network.
hive is lighter weight, uses a different protocol which i don't entirely understand but seems well trusted and efficient. i use it and bitcoin-qt and distribute some of my BTC among the two.
