Solidity is a risky language for security
From 2 comments
Please consider trying to get off of Solidity at some point. It doesn't matter how much auditing is done, if you're building on a shaky foundation mistakes will eventually slip…

Early product is buggy and has invite limits
From 3 comments
"It may take a while to load – beware of the bugs and glitches. Chrome-only for now" Says so much with so little.
efields on HNWhen I try to enter my email for the mailing list I am getting the error: invite_limit_reached I'd like to just keep up with the project. Is this intentional or is there another…

Insurance and bug bounties for security
From 2 comments
Conceptually I like the idea of running our company on this. But do you have any sort of insurance in case something goes horribly wrong? I'd probably be willing to use this for…

So what happens when someone finds a flaw in the contract and empties you out?

Traditional courts and binding arbitration clauses
From 2 comments
You can already do that. Parties entering into an analog contract can agree to binding arbitration with a mutually-agreed-on arbiter (like a "chair expert"), instead of…
