k0ban··on Bleep: Chat securely
All limits were removed in 2.2 http://blog.bittorrent.com/2015/09/09/sync-2-2-now-available...
k0ban··on BitTorrent’s Secure Dropbox Alternative Goes Public
It does.
k0ban··on BitTorrent reveals Sync, a new file synchronization tool
Similar, differences are: real p2p, native code, arm/ppc/x86 versions. Based on uTorrent, so very effective in terms of memory and speed.

AES256 client side
k0ban··on BitTorrent reveals Sync, a new file synchronization tool
Files are stored only on your computers, there is no cloud part. Sync uses p2p to create a cloud from your computers. You will need to care about your setup, to have 24x7 availability of the files.
k0ban··on WorkFlowy (YC S10) launches a better way to organize your brain
I like it. I definitely will forget the name, so I made it http://bit.ly/worklist
k0ban··on Ask HN: How did your startup get traction?
Turn things around. Instead of promoting your main product, create and promote related-to-that-area product that refers to your main product.

As an example, you have a hosting service. Open a site with a lot of web based tools like whoise, traceroute, so you will target right segment and use this tools site to promote your hosting.

Let's see how long will it take for major AV to provide protection.

k0ban··on Foursquare iPhone app sends passwords in plain text, don't use
I agree don't use IP as a part of token - it will require user to re-authenticate very often.

And don't forget about the salt. Store password something like SHA-1(MD5(password)+password)

k0ban··on Rate My App Idea/Landing Page: Kardly.com
Good idea.

Suggestions: Send not only card, but also envelope to put this card in and preferably address printed on envelope.

Just btw, you could think about sms or e-mail service. So instead of getting card, I will get e-mail or sms, so I could forward it to right person with slight modification in wording.

k0ban··on Ask HN: What are you working on (hacking)?
It is similar things actually :) Once you know how to break it, you could improve it.
k0ban··on Ask HN: What are you working on (hacking)?
Security for online banking
k0ban··on Ask HN: Does this exist; verify bank transactions via SMS?
Paul, could you drop me a line? We have interesting product for you.
k0ban··on Ask HN: no co-founder, no business plan, no funding?
there are always two sides of the story. You spent a lot of time on that, this is your idea and your fifth kid. So you are scared that it will be stolen away from you.

However one you will pass this fear, and slowly show it to the world, you will face another kind of problem - how to promote your solution and do a PR noise. So you will spend enormous time promoting, publishing talking about the product.

You have nothing to loose.

k0ban··on Ask HN: Are you sure your password is not stolen?
Sure, if the site is compromised than nothing you could know. But this is kind of unlikely in case of major players like banks.

Zero knowledge web app - is nice theoretical approach but I don't see a way it will be adopted anytime soon.

As to mine claims, I will post application when it will be ready, and we could discuss attacks against of it. It will be quite different from clipperz etc.

k0ban··on Ask HN: Are you sure your password is not stolen?
unfortunately I can't share details at the moment.

But one thing i could share - we won't require your passwords, it is just totally wrong from security perspective :)

k0ban··on Ask HN: Are you sure your password is not stolen?
Thanks.

Product is not about insurance, product is exactly about the fact that password is not stolen.

When it is stolen you will know it right away without any probability factor it will be 100% fact.

k0ban··on Ask HN: Guitar tabs online
Not at this time. We rely on the whole song analisys for much of precision improvements.

There is some literature out there on real-time beat following but the precision is poor so far

k0ban··on Ask HN: Guitar tabs online
We hadn't, since this is not an issue so far. CPU is quite cheap, so it is much easier to use cloud than adjust code for GPU.
k0ban··on Ask HN: Guitar tabs online
Your guesses are very accurate. We also use the knowledge of music theory, (mostly) western musical patterns and traditions, and employ supervised and unsupervised machine learning.
