Love what hedgehog is doing! However, we are cross-platform and never expose the users master private keys to the developer. When a user logs in to an app, only the app specific key pair is delivered on auth.

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Thanks Friedger, do you have a person we can talk to there? Would love to start a conversation with them!
Re:Show HN: No more 12-word seed phrases on Friday September 13, 2019 @12:13AM (#20959119)
Yes! This is one of the top things on our priority list. We will be completely removing the need for passwords and switch to one time use passwords and 2FA.

You can sign up for our slack on our website and we'll keep you updated :)

Thanks Jonathan for the kind words, we hope more people can start using the amazing apps being built on Ethereum, Blockstack, EOS, etc.

Great catch! I pushed the demo up to netlify and it should work now

We are working on a solution where you never have to set or remember your password

The seed is generated on the lambda, encrypted client side and stored in our database.

We've been moving fast trying to get SimpleID in as many hands as possible, but we absolutely want to support other blockchains. More in-depth Ethereum support is next up, then we want to look at adding support for blockchains like EOS, Steem, and more. It'd be great to get feedback from others on what blockchains to support!

Ask HN: Where else do developers congregate?

Hi HN,We're building a developer focused tool and are always on the lookout for sites/communities where we can interact with developers.Obviously HackerNews is great for that purpose, but I wanted to see if you all had other public communities you'd recommend i.e. (discord, slack, facebook groups, subreddits, etc)Thanks again for your help!

I think maybe Heroku is a better analogy in this scenario?
Very cool gdotdesign! We're working on something similar in the decentralized auth space.

Just curious, how/why did you pick email sending as a service add on?

FYI, there's a demo to try here: https://www.simpleid.xyz/demo
Hi All, I am one of the founders of Stealthy. Unlike Web 3.0 browsers, we have deep integration at the resource level with other dApps. This means you can browse, share, and collaborate dApp content from within Stealthy.

We’re eager to get the HN community feedback on our mobile app. Here are the current features in Stealthy: - Available on iOS and Android - Public channels: topic discussion or dApp support - Private 1:1 messaging: client side encrypted for recipient - Sharing and collaboration with other dApps (Graphite and TravelStack)

Here is what’s on our roadmap: - Performance & UX improvements - Messaging features: Group messaging, attachments, gifs etc - Deeper dApp integrations: blog or post to social media from Stealthy - Lightning network integration for transactions

We have built a chat application with blockchain for auth that uses decentralized storage to enable WebRTC: https://www.stealthy.im.
This is why we have built stealthy.im on a decentralized and censorship resistant platform.

Thanks Dale! If you have an id you can fill out app survey and get a 100 stacks! Here's the link: https://contribute.blockstack.org/b/mpktxj/view
Yes, people can redundantly shard their data to multiple cloud storage services. We plan on offering such a service if there is demand for it.
Once User B receives the message, it is also stored in User B’s storage too.

We're also considering ephemeral messages so the messages aren't stored at all.

All the messages user A sends to user B is stored in user A's storage. User B poll's user A's storage for the messages.

We have offline messaging (file polling) and online messaging via WebRTC.

You don't have to be online, your contacts are polling your storage and as long as your storage is online, the messages will be sent.
