Also for interoperability and portability. Pretty much every language has a way to bind to C code, and pretty much all hardware can run C.

I believe there's someone working on a completely different iOS client that looks pretty snazzy, but they haven't got any public code in their repo yet.

I find this very ironic given this: http://paulgraham.com/say.html

Tox (http://tox.im)

Secure, encrypted, instant messaging, voice, and video, over a distributed network, aiming to be easy enough to use to completely replace Skype.

The core is a library written in C, and there are several different clients in different languages, help on any of them or the core would be great.

I don't see why not, it's not real money and hey, everyone else is doing it. I'm going to talk to a lawyer if people start using it.

Hey, this is my first startup project and I'm pretty excited. I've got to the point where I feel I've got something solid, and I don't know what to do next. I haven't had masses of people using it and testing it with the test-network bitcoins. I have tested it a fair bit with friends and it seems there's no major problems. What should I do? Is this a minimum viable product? Should I try and promote it while it's still in testing, or should I switch over to using real bitcoins before doing that? I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have.

P.S. I had https going with a self signed certificate but the browser warnings were annoying so I turned it off. I'm waiting on a proper certificate, and I'll enable it as soon as I have it.

Yeah, it would be a bit much to call what I have so far a startup too, but I'm hoping to do a lot of work on it over the summer. Hit me up on IM or email at anon754268@gmail.com.

Finding a startup partner

I'm working on my own startup, and I can manage it on my own for now, but it would be nice to work with someone. I was thinking it would be cool to find someone already working on something of their own too, so it's easier to stay motivated, to give each other ideas and insights, and help each other if one or the other gets stuck. Then, if either of our projects take off, we've got someone we can turn to if we need. What do you think? Anyone interested? How many of you are working on something solo, and are you a developer or a designer?
