I think it's cool.

Honestly I wouldn't take my opinion seriously, I have very little experience in industry and my opinion might be misinformed. But if you really care, I'm talking from an ethical perspective. Imagine if Facebook or Google or Twitter were successfully bootstrapped, think about how much better off everyone would be. If all you care about is making money then VC money probably would work I guess. But it makes me sad.

Taking money from a VC is probably the worst thing you can do.

I mean, I don't care if you keep it as Luna. Just saying you're gonna have problems if you keep that name

Pretty bad name, I thought it was a typo for Lua.

It's always about money.

Banks benefit from certain bugs/holes in their software (e.g. shitty UI for viewing transaction history/balance -> more overdrafts -> more fees).

With copyright, why create something new when you can just sue somebody?

Ah I see. There are still some good forums that exist (I won't link them cuz I don't want HN crossover). IRC is still going strong too.

Hm. Personally I thought it was around 2010, when Facebook chat replaced AIM. And the iPhone 4 came out.
