Your page needs to scale correctly. I can't even sign up for the beta. I just tried signing up for it twice.

First time, http://cryptoseal.com/beta/ received a 400. Second time, http://connect.cryptoseal.com:8443/beta/thanks/ with a 400: http://cl.ly/image/0s1v1z3X0z3I

Why do you make us sign up for a beta/invite if we can't even use it right away and wait? I don't understand. What's the whole point of a launch if you're going to do that? First, you're having a bad registration flow because I'm already frustrated with your service. Two, I can't even use your product to test it and have to 'wait' for the invitation.

Once we fix all this and get the instant (or closer to it) activation, I'll have a hackernews code for some kind of extra service or discount.

Ugh. That was an intermittent problem which we thought we had fixed. Looking into it now.

Not sure how much you care, but it may be worth hiding your nginx version[1]. It's just as easy as adding

server_tokens off;

to your http section of your nginx.conf
