Their support bot responded with: “Thanks! We’re transitioning your question to one of our human support agents for further assistance. You don’t need to keep this window open — we’ll email you once an agent replies. Typical wait time is around 2 business days.” Hoping this gets resolved soon.


Hey HN,

I’m excited to share MnemonicSafe, a JavaScript library that securely splits and encrypts BIP-39 mnemonics using Shamir’s Secret Sharing (SSS) and AES-256-GCM encryption. This project is inspired by SLIP-39 (SatoshiLabs’ Shamir Backup), but it is an independent, experimental approach that offers flexibility for custom security models.

How It Works • Split a BIP-39 mnemonic into N shares using Shamir’s Secret Sharing. • Threshold-based recovery: Only T of N shares are needed to reconstruct the mnemonic. • Encrypt each share using AES-256-GCM with unique passwords for added security. • Supports reconstruction of the mnemonic only when the correct threshold of decrypted shares is provided.

Why Use This? • More secure than storing a single mnemonic. • Resistant to loss: As long as the threshold number of shares exists, the mnemonic can be recovered. • Better than just encrypting the mnemonic: A single compromised key won’t reveal the full secret. • Customizable & extensible: Can be adapted for advanced use cases like expiration metadata, threshold encryption, or HSM integration.

What This Is Not • This is not an official SLIP-39 implementation. It is inspired by SLIP-39 but uses password-based encryption for added flexibility.

Would love to hear thoughts from HN! Any feedback, suggestions, or security critiques are welcome.


Hey Hackers,

I'm excited to introduce Frndme, a fresh take on connecting with strangers through voice chats.

Frndme aims to provide a safer and more enjoyable alternative, focusing solely on voice interactions.

Voice-First Experience: Frndme prioritizes voice communication, allowing users to engage in real-time conversations without the pressure of video. It's perfect for those who prefer the intimacy and spontaneity of voice chats.

Join the Frndme Community: We're constantly improving Frndme based on user feedback and suggestions. Your voice matters, and we're here to ensure you have the best possible experience.

So, if you're tired of the same old chat roulette experiences and want to try something new, give Frndme a spin. Let's connect, converse, and create meaningful connections one voice chat at a time.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Happy talking!

Cheers


Hey guys,

We all feel lonely, judged and bored sometimes in different phases of our lives. Even though we may have friends and family sometimes it maybe difficult for us to explain how we feel without being judged or to get a different perspective.Omegle exists for chats and video but probability of finding someone who would genuinely listen is low. Hence Frndme a voice only peer to peer site made this weekend. Have fun looking forward to feedback


Hey there,

Ive reached out via email.


Thank you for such constructive feedback. Will try to implement them in the upcoming videos.

Yes these are free stock videos.


Did you match the video to the sentence, or it was automatic?


No I did not match it manually it was done automatically by the AI.

How it works.

1) Provide a headline (Only Point where user needs to enter input)

2) Story is generated

3) Key Summary is picked

4) Videos are searched and picked and sentences are added.

5) Video is generated.

6) Add Any Free Music You May Like Then It Is Synced.
