echolinux.com doesn't work for me, I either get a domain placeholder site or I get forwarded to affiliate sites.

Excellent, thanks!

I know:)

I prefer to be sole founder as I had bad experiences from previous gigs.

Is there any other attribute (like strong IP and customer demand) that can compensate for not having a co-founder? What else?

What do you mean by "compensate"? Having a co-founder will always boost your chances vs. being a single founder, no matter what.

But obviously single founders do get into YC because they're strong in other areas.

I prefer to have a 2-3 people founding team. But its so difficult to find partners especially when all my school friends are married and busy working for large companies.

I have been in your shoes. It took 6 years to process my green card. And I know people who had to go to Canada after 6 years then come back again to US to continue processing GC.

There are definitely disadvantages to be on H1B.

I think interface designer should be the person who understand the use case of it's users.

I think Hackathons are still a good way to meet like minded people and find co-founders.

I agree. I'd trade some stomach pain (due to junk food) to get the opportunity to meet someone like minded, or with skills complementing mine, so that some friendship/collaboration/startup) can start.

He has made his money. Enough to do another startup.

I like all the email related ideas. I hope someone is implementing them. Anyone want to partner for self destructing email?

Nice UI! I will give it a try.
