The Loopd Indiegogo Campaign is starting to accept Bitcoins. It might be a little longer until Indiegogo officially integrates Bitcoin but it looks like Indiegogo allowed this. Let's show Indiegogo that we really want Bitcoin integration for crowdfunding as an alternative to simplify international backers!

I'm not sure if anonymous is the way to go like it is with shortwave. at least in applications I can imagine, something like Loopd would be more productive in finding the right people to chat with. looks like shortwave is like secret but for messaging - which could be interesting but also sounds like a chicken and egg thing.

Well, I'm just trying to make an argument that I think Relay has a lot of potential especially if something like SnapChat has gotten so big.

http://relay.im is one of my favorite mobile apps and it is, in my honest opinion, more entertaining than SnapChat. I'm constantly using Relay and there is something magical about being able to instantly send a related GIF reaction to your friends. Every new GIF that pops up sends me head over heels. What is so powerful about this app is that it provides daily content, new GIFs, for users to enjoy. This makes it incredibly sticky as well as being able to share newly discovered GIFs to friends. It's the newest way to communicate because very often text by itself can be misinterpreted. GIFs prevent that miscommunication by relaying personalized GIF reactions.

SnapChat has just become a dump of unwanted snaps. My thumb has better things to do than press and hold down to see food pics.

This is great! Love what they're doing but more needs to be done than just changing the curriculum to tell women how CS and tech can change the world. Let them SEE it by empowering them to build cool things. #hackathonplug

Universities should encourage creativity and building and IMHO I feel that building websites is so easy to do and can be done in 5 minutes with the right tools. This shows true power in the hands of the user - to be creative and ship products at lightning speed. I taught a room full of business majors how to build their own personal website in 20 minutes. It takes 5 minutes if you've done it once before.

There were definitely a lot of ways we could have done this! Thank you all for the feedback. We chose three gestures that made the most sense to us - shaking horizontally (x), vertically (y), and back and forth (z). It does look silly because we implemented a less sensitive gesture algorithm so that it doesn't unlock when your phone is in your pocket and you're walking around swinging your wrist.

The purpose of gestice (gesture + justice) is to add some security to those who don't typically add pin codes to their phones. It creates a new generation of two-step authentication for those who don't have a finger-print scanning smartphone! It's free for a limited time on our website so get em quick =)

Best, Marco
