Perhaps it would be better to leverage your position and your knowledge and come up with something before you write up a post like this? As other commenters have pointed out, you're in a prime position to actually come up with a working concept instead of just writing your opinion about it.

I don't open a link to Paul Graham's site to read "Shit's bad, guys, and here are some fairly shallow reasons why I feel I can make that statement". I go there to read something that's been thought out by someone 'in the know'. Same goes for when your name is on a post about crypto. This was just whining.

That may be totally acceptable to you, but I don't think I'm alone in expecting more than just an opinion.



In case you didn't know, Moxie is already doing that https://whispersystems.org/

In any case, your point still stands, generally speaking.


Yes, I was referring to the post itself, which is essentially just complaining in the end. I am surprised it reached the top of HN, considering it really adds nothing.
