Curious if this will have the same issue that Google Wave had; attempting to change a paradigm that is well understood.

Hopefully not! We've tried fairly hard to make it fit into existing workflows so that the learning curve is not too difficult.

Lower the barrier - provide payment channels. Or, go get on the street and try to make a dollar.

I've added a link to the PayPal page for sending money to an email address to the original post and added a clickable in the comments as well. Thanks for the advice! :)

Easy (yet long) fix:

on iPhone - Disable iMessage from the settings menu. - Go back to messages and send a standard text message to the phone number. - Enable iMessage from the settings menu.

Done.

The funny thing is the fact that everybody is ignoring that the patch wasn't a patch. It was a POC (read demonstration) with the notes:

'...This patch is a variant of what we've been using to help protect customer keys for a decade.

This should really be considered more of a proof of concept than something that you want to put directly into production. It slides into the ASN1 code rather than adding a new API (OPENSSL_secure_allocate et al), the overall code isn't portable, and so on. If there is community interest, we would be happy to help work on addressing those issues. Let me restate that: do not just take this patch and put it into production without careful review.'

Oh but if you do that how are you going to make a pretentious critic to shoot it down ? The akamai guy straight up said "that's not actually our code, and that should not and cannot be used as-is, this is a POC", rendering this entire "answer" irrelevant especially given its mocking tone.

Isn't a POC supposed to prove a concept? i.e. shouldn't a POC defend against the attack it is stated to defend against?

BS. That's all I have to say. It's like Groupwise, worked well within Groupwise but once it leaves the system it's out to the wild-wild-west.

Nope -- the recipient doesn't even have to have heard of the service. Only the sender needs to opt-in.

It's satire, even the name of the CEO is incorrect:

"We are proud to introduce Uber Rickshaw, Uber Bike, and Uber Piggyback.” stated the CEO, Travis Parker Monday morning.

My partners and I took our seed funds that we put up on our own into a bank account. We signed up for a saving account, checking and got a credit card at the same time. It's based solely off of the founders for a bootstrapped firm.
