"Hard tech"? Okay. I have such a project.

Big ass problem: Found one, where a the first good solution is a must have for nearly everyone in the world with Internet access.

"Hard tech" solution: A bunch of applied math, with advanced prerequisites, some original, for a unique, really good, fun to use, interactive and addictive, by far the best in the world solution -- Did that.

"Hard"? Silicon Valley has more hen's teeth than entrepreneurs who could understand the theorems and proofs of my math even if I explained it to them. Why? They didn't take the prerequisite pure/applied math courses in grad school. Neither did more than a tiny fraction of computer science profs.

Code: 80,000 lines of typing, running, in alpha test -- did that.

"We hope to hear from you."

You did, and you ignored it.

Using my HN UID, look up my submission in your records. If you are interested now, then let me know.



What is the problem you are solving?


My post is for Sam. Do you represent Sam and YC?

I invited Sam to contact me, and from my HN UID his records will give him my e-mail address so that he can contact me.

Sam requested that anyone with "hard tech" contact him. Here I'm taking "hard" as difficult, challenging, or technically advanced and not necessarily 'hard' as in 'hardware'.

I do intend to announce, say, my beta test on HN, but for the current alpha test that seems a bit early.

Sam asked people to contact him, and here I did and reminded him of my earlier submission that he might be interested in now.

At least for now, the next step is up to Sam.


If someone else wanted to contact you how would they do that?
