FYI, we've changed the starting value to 0. That way, if someone posts spam or an otherwise bad idea, people won't have to pay to view it initially.

Interesting, thanks. Do you recommend changing where everything is laid out in the header / footer? Do you initially look toward the upper right?

OK thanks for the suggestions.

The value starts at 1. The first person to view pays 1 DC to see it. If the viewer up-votes the dream, the value goes to 2. If the viewer downvotes it, it goes to 0. The value increments by 1 for every up-vote, and the lowest value is 0. To

Hi Brad. After letting users post for free during beta testing, we decided to charge one DreamCoin per submission to filter out spam and hopefully to improve the quality of the content. After you join, you may view dreams that have a value

I added a "How does this work?" link to the login popup. Does that make easier to understand what's going on?

I have an example in the tutorial. As I say in my recent comment, maybe I should have the tutorial / help section pop up automatically when people visit the site?

Yes, to view a dream, users pay the price shown on the left. I thought I explained how the site works well enough in the "How This Works" section, but it seems like that approach isn't working. Do you have any suggestions on

Hi, yes you have to create an account to view. I've accepted that I will lose many potential users by choosing to avoid the typical VC-funded, unethical approach to the internet. I don't have any advertising, tracking, or selling

Hi, please elaborate on what you don't understand. Is the layout confusing for you? Were you able to find the "How This Works" page; and if so, do you have a recommendation on making it more clear? Thanks

Last year, I announced an app called Dude, I Got It! for anonymously sharing ideas and getting paid for them. The app has been rebranded into DreamCoin. It's still a work in progress with an experimental design, so if you have any sugg

There is no clear value to you, just like there is no value to you that a criminal could break into your window and watch you sleeping at night. For your security and privacy, you'd be better off having no windows. That an unintended p

In the article, I explain two options in the Apple case: 1. Apple could develop new software and give the FBI the key. That is the true back door. 2. Apple could disable the guess limit and let the government brute-force the code. This is t

I agree that Amnesty International is being extremely cautious in making recommendations, but if they felt that no compromises could / should be made, I don't see why they would bother with the quoted paragraph. "any restrict

I agree that the answer is complicated, but I don't agree that we must appeal to mathematics to solve the problem. We need to have a discussion about what is a good compromise and how much security and privacy we have to sacrifice in o

Thanks for the links, foolshdropout. I've read most of those, and they tend to the make the same points over again. I called it a "side door" to make the point that we need a compromise between the front and back. The pro-enc

I agree: that is a contemptible position to take - and it's not mine. It's impossible to make authority infallible and incorruptible. However, the United States has proven that it is possible to create a society of checks and bala

Aren't we supposed to avoid stock Apple options due to concerns about privacy? For example, isn't Safari proprietary, suggesting that we should choose an open-source browser? Are Apple apps actually good for privacy?
