Yeah, really terrible landing page, I'm afraid. You'll have an extremely low conversion rate which will be a big waste of a Show HN. The announcement post is also hidden quite small in the footer. I would have ignored this as lega

Just the one Baidu image would suffice ;) Don't need one for every site they use it on. Also, I know it's not _that_ similar, but the logo still said Docker to me.

You can, you can directly upload the contents of the .build folder to any host.

It does. Check the .build folder for uploadable files to any host.

We wish Stellar all the best and it's certainly a huge improvement on Ripple Labs, but we're also working on a (not directly competitive, but related) project http://hyperledger.com/ without any native currency or

Yes, by the creator of Ripple who was forced out. This is the continuation of Ripple towards what it was supposed to be.

Technically, it actually works the other way around from vesting. Instead of you having 0% of your shares and working your way up to 100%, you start with 100% of your shares but the company has a Repurchase Right to buy back shares from you

Looks like HN took it down. Will have to come back later as the screenshot looked awesome.

I think you mean the URL in the ledger creation command, e.g., 'hyperledger ledger register newcoin https://newcoin.com' . This would just be the official site of the asset or company, like bitcoin.org is for bitcoin. C

Thanks a lot. Payment networks can be extremely complicated so we all benefit by working on the same underlying layer, as long as it is truly open. Please do and let us know how you get along!

Wow. Well thank you for putting a huge smile on my face. Very kind comment and extremely appreciated. Thought it would make a nice change from all the flat design sites out there. I hope your experience with everything else is as good!

Thanks a lot! As the other commenter noted, our only plan to directly monetise the project is via a commercially supported premium consensus pool. However, long term we do plan to set up a commercial entity to build on top of hyperledger (i

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not clear what you mean either.

There are lots of similarities but also some very key differences. The main one being that there is no native currency like XRP, so there is no risk of a similar situation to the current fiasco arising. hyperledger is designed to be far mor

Haha. Perhaps we need to update our intro then, as I highly doubt that's true! Essentially, hyperledger is a decentralised set of servers (owned and operated by lots of different people). Each server has the same collection of ledgers,

I'm British and in the US I have to deliberately say "Daaayn" so as not to be called Don.

I have to admit, when I first read it I thought it was a new euphemism for being screwed over by Bitstamp, a la "Goxed".

And we tend to see conservatives of supporters of both empire building and attacks on civil liberties. In no way clearly the lesser of two evils.

The page doesn't really sell the client to me at all if I'm not already familiar with the desktop version, which I'm not.

Surely not over that period of time.

Completely agree. Hide as much as possible that isn't annoying on a regular basis then learn the keyboard shortcuts for everything else if you're such a power user.

Personally, and of course you can define it however you want, I think something that "changes the world" needs to be both significant and lasting. Getting people to play one game instead of another for a few months isn't eith

Perhaps I'm mishearing but it sounds to me more like they are pronouncing it "yo" (English) or "you" (Chinese) here in Beijing, which does sound more like 6. yi/qi are slightly similar but I never have the same
