This is an awesome idea when i think of the most popular whistle blowers around the world. You could post things anonymously and also be famous in the social circle. Good job October team. Loved it. Will try to use often. 👏 🎉

@somangshu Thank you @somangshu. It's important to stress that our security is designed to protect normal people posting secrets, not to protect whistleblowers from nation states. We will keep improving our security and have a roadmap with lots of important security milestones, but whistleblower protection is very hard and complicated and legally fraught, so we don't think we're currently a good match for that.

@paulsbohm i agree. It more complicated. But would you put it out to the people so that they know the platform shall not be used for such cases. How would you explicitly stop these wistleblowers if they wished to use October ?. I definitely feel this powers people to maintain the anonymity when they wish for. Kuddos to that.!

Refreshing to see a new take on social networking w pseudonyms. Great ux & (more important:) interesting content & dynamics. You can tell the team put a lot of thought into it. Kudos.

Pros: Very interesting product, seems like it has a lot of potential. Cons: None so far. It's a young product, so I'm sure there are bugs and it's growing, so engagement should grow for anyone willing to put in the work now

@chazthetic Thank you Charles! Let me know if you have ideas for how we can make it even better! We're super thrilled that people like it so much!

It's quiet over there, feels like 10 or 15 people max are posting daily. And it's been buggy lately...

Looks pretty cool guys! Seems like a mix between Quora, Reddit and Instagram - very interesting!

@zelena Thank you Elena. That's what we're going for. Why make Tweets 280 Characters, when pictures are a 1000 words? Even for deep intellectual conversations!

@paulsbohm because Twitter was originally built around the 160-character limitations of SMS? 😜

@adriano_cahete You can use the mobile web app in the meanwhile! We will bring an Android App as soon as we have hired the right people to build it!

Is this based on the blockchain?

@aaronoleary Not yet. We're focusing on getting the model right first. Once the economics solidify, we'll move increasingly to the blockchain over time. we'll probably have the tokens themselves as an ERC-20 token before anything else. but that requires sensible economic policy first.
