I see you guys have mentioned its open source but when I check github I cant find much of code at all. + Why are the founder profiles fake?

Great Work

Pros:

This may well be the solution I needed to my file transfer problems. So simple and easy to use almost feels like cheating. Great work

Cons:

None

Product seems like a great tool - can't wait to use. As someone with Keratoconus though, the graphics you use on the site (vector images with the blur behind it) make it impossible to read, I couldn't focus on anything and had to close the tab. I'm not asking you to change it, just thought you should know. Anyone with double-vision or astigmatisms will probably have an issue reading it too.

@aaron_dark Thank you so much for your comment aaron, we're all ears for a better experience for all the users. We will consider this.
Alessandro Tenconi
Well done and great product! I couldn't find any article/blog where you explain the way the file transfer and encryption is built (apart from how Blockstack Gaia Hub works ofc). Do you guys have any explainer out there? it would be really helpful for the community
Walterion
@alessandrotenconi Thank you very much Alessandro, you can read more about it in the FAQ on he website, but if that was not enough, please contact us from the website. And please do not forget to share BlackHole with your friends ;)
Phillip
Do you plan to release a version for Linux?

If they gave away free beer...yes, that's the only thing I believe could improve this great tool.

Mr. Lucifer
always show 414 URI Too Long when tried to login via blockstack, so annoying
Friedger Müffke
How exactly is blockchain involved?
Walterion
@friedger_muffke BlackHole uses Blockstack DNS that built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, to address users hubs that provide access to the encrypted and private storage.
Omar Antila
Impressively simple! Looking forward to seeing future iterations.

@omar_antila @walterion1 Hi Walterian Shareable link of old files is disabled in my app. Only 3 files are enabled at a time. why? .It says there is no expiration date but why limited number of files?.
Micha(el) Bladowski
I would love to see a Slack integration 😊
Farid Inawan
It's really awesome. But I can't find how I can delete my shared file, is it possible?
Sienna Hayez
@frdinawan Thank you Farid, nice point, actually delete shared data is on the way, you can subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates on BlackHole.
blockstack yummy
I just tried your app , even feel faster than dropbox and google drive. But , your source codes use pascal, really hard to check malicious codes inside or not.
Walterion
@blockstack_yummy Happy to hear that. We chose Pascal because it lets us to compile BlackHole for multi-platforms with excellent performance. P.S. Actually Pascal is famous for being easy to read! 😁
blockstack yummy
really fast, good jobs. Do you have more guides on how to test the source codes on local pc? Your github guides don't have more details about how to compile it. @walterion1
Walterion
@blockstack_yummy Thank you very much. The project is just started, we will improve the doc along the way. Please watch the repo on Github for updates.
Carlos Fernández

I just saw this on my producthunt feed, I liked the logo and the title of the idea, I entered to see what was going on, I visited the website, downloaded the app, I installed the app, I completed the 3 steps (15 secs) tutorial and shared my first file. This is really simple and easy to use for the user. Keep it great!

Pros:

Fast, Easy to use, Clean.

Cons:

Too perfect to be real.

Walterion
@cajotafer Thank you very much Carlos, really appreciate it ✌️
Selinay Ergil
seems handy
Walterion
@selinayinsesi We designed it to be handy for everyday use. 👍 You can just use Ctrl+B (or Command+B on Mac) shortcut on any file.
