Hi klytus, Tried sending you a PM but wasn't able to. Would love to chat with you to learn more about how you used Sync for the show (we're huge fans btw). Would you have a few minutes next week to chat? Thanks! lou@bittorrent.com

Hope everyone is doing well! The BitTorrent team will be at Empire Garage (at SXSW) talking about Sync. Come down to hang out, learn more about the awesome stuff you can do with the app, and demo the API. Stay for the free drinks and live music. (Of course.) Join the group here --> http://www.meetup.com/BitTorrent-Sync-User-Group/ Event --> http://www.meetup.com/BitTorrent-Sync-User-Group/events/168108862/

Hi, the keys are sent in a batch and are sent fairly regularly. You might want to check you spam folder and if nothing, PM me your email and I'll check for you.

Hi, We have some spots open for anyone interested in testing our new Sync version for windows phones. If you are interested, we need to know Windows Live ID that associated with a phone. (This if for WP8 only.) Fill this quick form and we'll have you added to the list. https://docs.google.com/a/bittorrent.com/forms/d/1zj1FvqNYoZ4WBeXkGM8hLIb_r9Ft18dcii8YfnWmCfQ/viewform Thanks, Lou

Not sure why you did not receive them - they are in the system. I've sent you a PM with more info.

I'm curious about what people are working on - anyone care to share?

Hi sunylat - the keys are going out in batches - you should have received yours by now.

Hi everyone, We're pretty excited about the API and what everyone can potentially create using it. If you have something you want to share and showcase, let us know by posting here. This would probably be the best place to get feedback also. Lou

We did this for a few reasons actually. First, we wanted to try to keep the user experience as simple as possible and we thought that adding this might be confusing for many new users. Second, there was a technical reason also. When we update our releases, we typically add all the features across platforms (for feature consistency) - we found that adding Encrypted Peers to the mobile apps didn't produce the best experience so until we find a better way to do it, we elected to leave it out... for now. Its definitely something we plan to add but we're trying to do it in a effective way. Hope that answers your question.

Hi everyone, Wanted to let you know that we set up a dedicated section for Dev/API questions and feedback here: http://forum.bittorrent.com/forum/106-developers/ Thanks!

Hi ismail, we'll be sending them out in batches - you should receive it later today.

nils and noiime, here you go: http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/developers/api
