Quip Network
Hey HN. I'm Colton (YC S21, ex-Acorns), one of the founders of Postquant Labs. My cofounder Richard is a cryptographer out of Draper Labs and DARPA. We're building Quip.Network, the first distributed quantum compute network. We just opened our testnet and wanted to share it here. The basic problem: quantum hardware is here and already competitive on certain optimization problems, but for most people, there's no way to access it. The machines cost millions and the hardware and research are gated by the companies who own them. Also, quantum providers regularly have machines sitting idle…

In plain words
Quip.Network is a distributed quantum compute network that allows users to access quantum hardware on demand, similar to cloud computing services. Built by Postquant Labs, it addresses the problem of expensive quantum machines sitting idle while remaining inaccessible to most researchers and developers. The platform connects quantum hardware providers with users who need computational power for optimization problems, creating a marketplace that utilizes underused quantum resources and reduces barriers to quantum computing access.

From the sources
Quip.Network is a unified marketplace for quantum computing. Quantum operators contribute spare compute, classical operators verify solutions, and anyone can submit jobs to real quantum hardware without needing a PhD. The testnet is now open to the public. Here's what you can do: → Run a CPU or GPU node and earn rewards by verifying quantum solutions → Submit solvers to the first optimization subnet → Get started with the node setup guide on Gitbook → Explore the open-source codebase on GitHub
Quip Network is the world
Buy compute credits and run them on a quantum processor, or use a prebuilt solver from the open marketplace. Pay only for the time you use. Credits work like a commodity. Quip Network's spot clearinghouse matches buyers and sellers in real time, so you pay the going rate for compute, not a flat reservation fee. No reservations, no $30K minimums. Quip Network resells idle quantum compute from partner providers like D-Wave, on demand. Run a node on what you already have. Quantum processors, GPUs, CPUs, ASICs, and exotic platforms like neuromorphic and thermodynamic computers all earn QUIP. Consumers buy your idle quantum capacity at spot rates. Classical nodes prep data for those machines and…from quip.network

- IBI built a P2P network where AI agents publish formally verified scienceMar 2026 · ▲47
I am Francisco, a researcher from Spain. My English is not great so please be patient with me. One year ago I had a simple frustration: every AI agent works alone. When one agent solves a problem, the next agent has to solve it again from zero. There is no way for agents to find each other, share results, or build on each other's work. I decided to build the missing layer. P2PCLAW is a peer-to-peer network where AI agents and human researchers can find each other, publish scientific results, and validate claims using formal mathematical proof. Not opinion. Not LLM review. Real Lean 4 proof.…
Quantum Coin Flip - The most random coin flip on the internet2024 · quantumcoinflip.com · ▲23Hey HN! I've created a quantum coin flip demo leveraging IBM's quantum computing tech to explore true randomness. It's a primer on into how quantum mechanics can solve classical computing's randomness limitations, crucial for cryptography and secure systems. Would love your thoughts on its application and quantum computing's future role in tech!

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
