These are not mutually exclusive.

So I got an OpenWrt One router, at first only thinking "I'd rather have a more open, configurable platform than depend on BigCorp"...

...but once I received it, I realized I could give a local agent SSH access to it and let it go to work optimizing, securing and generally interpreting my network and its traffic. And, of course, now I can configure anything via English.

Unbelievable game changer. Get one yesterday.

(No relationship to OpenWrt, whatsoever, btw.)

Hi. I hope this email still reaches Dan.

I'm trying to reach a user that went by the handle "makaronin" in 2015-2018 on Hacker News (and elsewhere around the web).

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=makaronin

This user bought several tiles in Etheria (the first NFT project on Ethereum) which are now worth several million USD, but I can't reach them bc I don't have their email address and they've deleted their Reddit account.

You can see that they purchased the tiles here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/3qecog/comment/cw...

I don't need their email directly. A simple email from you, to them, saying "Hi. Did you buy Etheria tiles in 2015? You might want to look into that, if so. If not, please disregard" would suffice. etheria.world is the official site.

I'd love for this person to find out they're worth millions (if they weren't already). Can you assist?

-------------

ADDITIONAL NOTE: There are several other "cold" accounts that have Etheria tiles, including a tile containing the first tradable UGC artwork ever put on any blockchain (the cabin on tile 16,5). Additionally these early buyers tended to buy "rare" tiles (islands, ice, mountains, etc) that are possibly worth 10x "normal/floor" tiles.

To see the cold tiles and accounts, go to https://etheria.world/exchange.html and click "recency".

My email is cyrus at the official domain above.

On the second point, no. I don't think it's possible to give free items to people and get honest reviews. The free-ness will often induce either charity or laziness in reviewers. The only way to get an accurate review on a product at its price point is to sell the item at its price point in the wild.

Actual market reception is positive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R14HJYCSIBF2R8

The whole point of my post is that Vine is pushing units onto the wrong people and for the wrong reasons and that others in my shoes should avoid it. I.e. I'm admitting an error using Vine at all.

What do you want to know about the product? This is the best primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9haR4CCeh9o

On the first, am I supposed to improve based on something the user's kids said without trying the product?

On the second, what exactly did she complain about aside from "hardware improvements"? I'll make the changes. But what are they, exactly?

Also, you seem to know quite a bit about the market. Would you be willing to talk? Email me at cyrus@ my product's domain name.

But that's pretty challenging from an engineering standpoint and Alexa skills can't be controlled externally yet. I briefly added a footswitch and could get Thingamagig to cycle through the tones of a particular song with it, but the Alexa screen won't update on that "outside" information.

Amazon has said they'll consider it but my gut says that's way down the list of things they're trying to do.
