I am curious to see what fellow hackers, entrepreneurs, and generally bright people here at HN think of Bitcoin and it's future. Questions worth considering: Is it a worthy investment? Can it really be compared to the internet in its early days (as many people say)?

Was wondering if you or the folks at YC have thought of this. I know Andreessen Horowitz and Greylock Partners both have talent pools, where they connect interested developers and designers to startups they have funded.

As someone who is transitioning from being a student to wanting to work with a small team full-time, I would personally love to be a part of a talent pool that could connect me to promising startups funded by YC that are in need of my skills.

I also know a lot of the companies funded by YC are also looking to expand their teams and may have difficulty recruiting talent; so I think it’d be something beneficial for both sides. Have you all ever thought of trying something like this?

I received my invitation today and am quite excited to attend and learn more. Who else is planning on going?

For those that don't know what I am referring to: http://workatastartup.org/

I thought it'd be a neat idea to have a place to post events/mixers for hackers, business-types, designers, investors, and startup enthusiasts to get to know one another.

Please lead with the city the event is taking place. Make sure to include venue, date, and time.

I've been a designer for many years now and have always had a deep interest in startups and the passionate teams that they tend to consist of. This summer, I'm looking for an internship at a promising startup where I can contribute with my skills in UI/UX and just overall design sense.

Are there startups, preferably in the Bay Area, that are looking for anyone with this skillset? Or is it something that is not really needed?
