I found it a fun way to ask for email and actually signed up myself.

Any scam could be defended this way. What does differentiate a scam from a legit investment ?

Most cryptocurrencies are cartoon characters particularly tailored for gambling machines. I haven't seen a single use case other than enabling masses enter a massive pyramid scheme constantly manipulated in social media.

If you’re like myself, somebody proactively looking for it, you won’t think twice to share your contact, because you’d like to be an early adopter, close to the project’s execution loop. I’m basically looking for people like myself.

And if you’re skeptical, you’ll find my Github and the full whitepaper is already there.

Hey - while I agree with you, for a project making the very first baby steps, I have to be hyper-intentional about the way I spend my energy.

So now, I'm looking for only the very specific people who wants to be in close loop with me, helping me build a feedback loop from early on.

I built projects differently in past, now just want to try another way to start it.

(Also see my other comment - this project is actually a radically open about even its business plan :) It's just not linked to the homepage, for the reason I've explained. )

Edit: giving it a second thought, I've updated the document and the dialogs to give more information and also tell the reason why I'd like a contact before.

Hey - there is actually quite amount of information available in Github, from working prototype to, even the whole business plan is open in Github if you try to find it, not linked to the homepage though.

I'm building up a closed private beta community by onboarding each person.

So now, I'm particularly looking for people who is willing to help a project from the baby steps by being in the beta program, even without knowing much about it.

I don't want your personal information, you're not in the audience I target, and that's ok.

Got it, you're hesitant to share your name and email and you're not forced for that. Instead of joining the private beta, you can just wait until it's public.

Every project needs some early adopters. That's what I'm seeking here.

This is a landing page that tells no more than the purpose for a specific audience. If you feel like it's not what you want, you're not the audience.

I collected extremely valuable feedback already thanks to these links.

Have a great week.

Edited my comment for clarity

Signal (messenger, not foundation)’s plan for cryptocurrency was in news 4 years ago already. It can feel like a betrayal but can we put others responsible others for our feelings?

How can we expect a company to provide us what we want for free? Robots running on solar power will build them?

How about this: stop approaching a monetization problem as if it's a choice being evil vs. not evil.

Here is devil’s advocate ready to be voted down:

People get tortured and executed for not sharing information, or actually not having any information in countries in the middle east. They wouldn’t hesitate erasing a family all together from the planet if they don’t share information.

And here is FBI, pressuring to get information.

Of course, western democracy is supposed to be better. It is better though.

And that’s really the best it could be.

This article sounds almost like an advertise to me for some reason. May be I'm biased though, in my household there is no TV or ipads, and my son is strictly not allowed to any of these gadgets.

Here is a really good research on children attention; https://github.com/azer/notebook/blob/master/parenting/child...

There is also a podcast episode about it in the same folder.

On the other side, 10 million kids may never go back to school in the developing countries after pandemic. Probably good for the underground textile shops dressing up the ones who can work from home.

Hotmail was 10x worse than all alternatives. It was an ugly web page, not an app.

Gmail took XMLHttpRequest and its ActiveX fallback (we used to call this “comet”) and proved the world that we can ship a robust app inside a web browser.

It was well designed, had no ugly banners like Hotmail did, it was really fast, simple and working like a desktop app.

The tragedy in this conversation is that Bitcoin’s use case is more ambiguous than a ice cream spoon.

There are much faster, more reliable ways to store value or send / receive money.

Bitcoin’s two main use cases are investment and also making payments to drug traffickers or hitmans.

I always felt surprised how people are when they throw such "facts" very confidently. What's your source ? Have you been there yourself? How did you end up convincing yourself to know the truth so well that you can transmit to others without leaving any room for discussion? This reminds me something I quite dislike: the tone of fascism. It's widespread like a virus these days.

Could you share an example case of that IPO scenerio you mention?

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and suggestions here. What do you use for designing?

The FatHomeCat browser (https://github.com/fathomecat/fathomecat) had “90s mode” choice for sites like Google.com, not for the sake of disabling JS, but actually getting simpler & better version of Google.

How did you get the case built ? 3D printer ?

People are full of "news" these days. Haven't you ever heard of the word "jing" ?

Would you mind sharing the newsletters you pay for ?

While this is great news on one hand, on the other hand, how could Mozilla manage to lose its browser engine project ? If a web browser company can't even keep its browser engine project, what is really Mozilla working on these days ?

In my eyes, phones actually provide mediocre quality. Even the ones Apple released today, notice how bad are the night shots they display on the website.

I have a dslr with two fixed (portrait and panorama) lenses, and night or day, every single shot is timeless. The quality won’t be outperformed by the next smartphone getting released next year. Of course, I can’t spontaneously shoot photos, need to decide when I want to actually shoot photos so I carry my camera.

Which is not a cons, even an advantage, if you’re truly looking for quality, not quantity.

I don't want to carry a phone in my arm :)

Is it just me or the sample photos for the night mode look pixelated on the website; https://www.apple.com/iphone-12/

I use Jelly, a tiny smartphone that fits the little keychain pocket of my running shortpants, I don't even feel it while running. They released a newer version of it, Jelly 2, if you're interested in small phones.
