Profile

I built my first startup around an optimistic but extremely naive idea: if you get scientists to timestamp their work on a blockchain, and then couple that timestamp with a protective license, you would stop IP theft. This would then allow scientists to collaboratively share data or inventions without fear of being undercut, and thereby usher in a golden age of science.prove-yourself is a tool that extracts of some of what we built into a simple CLI and web app that lets you:- Write a statement (a prediction, a claim, a hash of a file) and sign it with a local Ed25519 key- Tie the signing key to your accounts (GitHub, Twitter, HN, etc.) by posting a signed statement- Encrypt the signed state

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
