"If you thought I was insufferable before..."

First, congratulations. I did notice though a change in your comment tone from some time ago. (Unfortunately I can't recall exactly when and there is no easy way to draw up comments on HN from "x" days ago you have to go through page by page.) I'm wondering though if it coincides with this (or maybe another deal) going down. Meaning either the stress or elation of this or another potential transaction altered your writing.




You actually can do this using HNSearch and the by: keyword. If you ever do find some inflection point at which I become/became even more annoying, shoot me an email.


There was a point about 12-18 months ago where you stopped explaining yourself each time and made more appeals to authority (your own) on crypto issues. Admittedly, you were right, and these were all things which you'd explained in detail before, and on which the academic and practical communities have pretty much reached a consensus.


this inflection point is almost certainly not unique to you, though since you're probably one of the first to discuss it in this way, you should probably name it so we can all start identifying it in ourselves and other founders :)


the Ptacek point. Similar to the Wadsworth point, but different.

Now all we need is some guys from Stanford to demonstrate an algorithm that finds this.
