This looks like a fun tutorial for a weekend project. Thanks for sharing!

I remember hearing in a podcast that openbazaar.org tried this approach but because of unreliable clients parts of the network would be completely unaccessible. They then went with a partially decentralized solution with a few main nodes always supporting the system. I'm not sure what has changed in the design since that podcast episode though.

Can we put the FMtokens cryptocurrency name in the title? This may scare people who invested in other adult entertainment coins such as SpankChain (https://spankchain.com/)

"After Lastpass got acquired by LogMeIn last year I decided to start looking elsewhere. Being a software developer myself, I turned toward open source solutions but it immediately became apparent that nothing existed that was as convenient and as user friendly as Lastpass. I also realized that everyone seemed to charge money for these closed-source solutions (and rightfully so I suppose, a password manager is essential!). bitwarden was born from this search and I have been developing on it every night since. This week marks the complete 1.0.0 release of bitwarden! There are apps for iOS and Android on the stores, browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, and a convenient website vault. It's free, open source, and cross platform. Feel free to let me know any feedback that you may have or if you are interested in contributing in any way. You can check out the main product website at https://bitwarden.com/"

Thanks I was looking for something like this!

Isn't keeping the key not on the client more secure. If the encrypted data is on the client then the key would have to be on the client at some point to decrypt it. If my phone is jailbroken it wouldn't be too hard to extract the key and depending on the security of the app it may be likely that this key is used for every client.

Not true at all! At least in Toronto most of the companies here are hiring Java programmers like crazy. Depends where you want to work, I assume in the Valley it's all Node, Ruby, iOS. I guess Android is all java as well.

This is beautiful.

That seems like a good idea but I only use gchat on my PC, for my phone it's text messages. I don't like it when someone assumes that I'm on my PC and starts to have a conversation with me as when I'm on the go I'm not able to have a serious chat. At least with txt msgs both parties know that you may not respond in time and that you may be brief with your responses.

You're right I messed up, the time-stamps are there I just didn't notice them right away as they are faded and underneath the message.

Just switched back to check this out. I see the green bar under only one of my friends but the rest that are online or away don't have this. Do they also have to have hangouts enabled for me to see that?

Also, I understand that they are trying to make things minimal and look cool but it's not something that's very intuitive or noticeable. I thought it might have meant that I have a chat window open with that person.

Am I the only one who prefers regular gchat to google hangouts? It's super difficult to figure out who on my contact list is online or not. I also mistake old msgs as new ones because of the lack of time-stamps. Maybe I'm missing a check-box or something that could fix all this but I gave up and switched back to gchat almost immediately.

That's a little extreme and useless to put only one app on the IPhone dock. I could see this becoming extremely frustrating in an emergency situation where you need to call someone quickly. Why not just practice self control instead.

I'm also interested in this because the rates that some people post seem way too low. I've seen people post $14/hour or $1200 to create a fully featured youtube clone.

I am all for password managers, I've even created one myself. I just don't think it's valuable to post sales like this, there are plenty of other sites that you can go to get info on software sales. Why cloud up HN?

Clearly this is advertisement, why is this on the front page? How does it constitute as news?

I 100% agree with you, I think the app-store has to go cross platform. Has MS confirmed that xbox one won't allow Win 8 apps? I thought they were going to release more information about the developer story at //Build.

I think your point on application management is a bit weak. I have several applications/services running on Windows 7 without any visible windows present ( i.e Apache, Adobe Service Management, spotify web helper etc..). For a lot of these I had no choice if they were installed, I frankly don't even know how some of them were installed. A suspended Windows 8 app isn't much different than these and at least Win 8 apps consume zero CPU cycles while suspended.

MS had planned to make the update before Win 8 was released

This just promotes shouvelware and sadly it's only for U.S developers.

Honestly there probably just wasn't enough time to add all these features to WinRT before the release. I have heard that there will be a huge update in WinRT API's in the future but for now you need to roll your own implementation. I had a similar problem where I needed a sorted collection and I thought that the API's would already have a method to sort but there wasn't any. I ended up just rolling my own, which was a bit annoying but hey you learn CS for a reason right?

You can encrypt your zip files using the crypto libraries. Here's a good resouce http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/CryptoWinRT-54ff3.... I was planning to do that with my app but I never got around to it.

Interesting that a lot of the game's code is written in javascript.

Right now we are crawling sites for videos but we will add that feature soon!

I'm a bit confused but is this the same concept as shopstarter.org that was posted here a week or two ago?

It probably was around that number, I doubt MS would make 300 units for their launch.

I think that's a great idea if MS/Sony were to get such a deal set up with ISPs.

On average I'd guess that people only buy 3-4 big name games a year which are over 1-2 GB so they probably won't bust their download cap. Also lot of steam games are Indie games which are usually 300mb-1Gb. When I was younger and couldn't afford games I would rent one or two every week, if everything were to go digital that download cap would be reached in a week or two.

Yes especially the dealbreakers section. I don't know why a lot of developers are so compelled to only work with a specific programming language (i.e ruby/python). Does it really matter that much what the underlying codebase is when you know the fundamentals of computer science. I pick up new languages if the job requires it but I wouldn't toss out a job offer for 200K because the company uses a certain stack that I had a bad experience with in the past.

Downloading 16 GB games would pretty much cap out most peoples BW limit.

Awesome great idea!
