1. On the front page "Only you have the encryption key" could be confusing to folks new to PGP, consider instead "Only you have the decryption key". Then elaborate below - your encryption key/pubkey is uploaded to your service and made available to any users of your form, while your encryption/privkey remains secret.

2. What's your experience doing crypto in browser Javascript? I looked at that earlier this year but it was still pretty immature. Things like Mailvelope are a good start but not 100% reliable.

Mirror is a smart contracts platform. We are leveraging Bitcoin blockchain technology to provide hedging and risk management tools that are more accessible, affordable, and globally available than their contemporary counterparts, and with minimized counterparty and clearing risk.

We have raised $12M and are assembling a team with capabilities in cryptocurrency, cryptography, distributed systems. We particularly need low-level C/C++ expertise, cross-platform app development experience, or experience in architecting root signing key systems, security, and processes for the CA industry.

I've been wondering about this recently myself. It does seem to be the case sometimes. Any idea why, or if this has ever been studied?

Decentralized, p2p ledgers are thus far good at a subset of contracts in which no off-ledger is enforcement is required. Aka, they're good at cash-settled (bitcoin-settled) contracts, in which all parts of the contract creation, joining, settlement, and clearing can be cryptographically enforced, and a real-world legal system is not required to guarantee ownership transfer.

For example, if you want to sell the title to your house or car, if there are problems or disputes the real world isn't going to recognize some title transfer deal done on the blockchain and you'll have to resort to the irl legal system anyway. But any kind of pure financial contract is potentially game.

Engineer | Full-Time

Who we are

We're an early-stage venture-backed startup working to build commercial infrastructure for Bitcoin and better integrate cryptocurrencies into the traditional financial system. We've raised a $4 million seed round and are now scaling the team, further developing our private label exchange technology, and validating additional novel features.

What we’re up to

Bitcoin’s Byzantine Consensus implementation is a milestone in computer science, and is spawning new models of socio­ecomic organization like trustless distributed consensus and distributed cryptographic fiduciary.  These are enabling new solutions to old problems, and making possible some things that were not previously. We are building tools and services that enable financial institutions and their clients to leverage and capitalize on these new capabilities.

What we’re looking for

We’re recruiting a team of people committed to reasoning from first principles about the nature of this new technology, identifying emerging high-value business models, and building the infrastructure, products, and services to capitalize on them.  As an early­ stage team member, you’ll be joining a small group of hackers, financial engineers, and scholars implementing cryptocurrency­-derived products for the financial sector and its customers, both institutional and retail.

If you have a demonstrated interest in cryptocurrencies, cryptoeconomics, or related topics, and their application to modern finance, we would love to connect. Please send anything you want to us know about you to apply@vaurum.com and reference HN. More info at http://angel.co/vaurum.
