Hi guys, I'm one of the founders. Glad to answer all your questions.

Why did you choose to implement Yet Another Blockchain Solution?

Assuming 3-letter agencies haven't already broken it, they will sooner or later, and now all your users will be susceptible to having their votes manipulated at the whim of US intelligence.

What do you mean by "it"?

What would an alternative be for you?

Im still waiting for proof on this claims. Regardless, the blockchain is still a protocol lacking good applications and products. But its fundamentals described in Satoshis papers + the traction it got, speak for themselves. It's a technology with growth. Show me another one like it, and I'll be glad to study it.

How self promotional of you.

it's not easy being an entrepreneur and building a network of likeminded people from around the world :)

It can't be that hard if that is most of your time. But maybe you are burning older contacts even faster than my limited sample.

YC: ask his previous investors and employees what they think, independently and in private.

please do, more than willing! i still hang out with a lot of the people that worked with me during 12 years, and all my investors are very happy (they actually keep supporting us as a nonprofit, can you believe it?). I'm really proud about this. It's the main force behind the fact that we are able to be here. And also, I have no idea of who you are.. so don't pretend you know stuff you really do not. Ahh.. haters. Gotta love'em.
