PeakD is great, but I hesitate placing too much of Hive's future in its hands as its a closed source application. Luckily the administrators of PeakD are benevolent, but if we become too dependent on this proprietary app, we set ourselves up for centralization risk and possible censorship.

Hehe! I read about the code being... closed recently. And you made a very valid point too.
But yes, these guys are great. They know the closed source issue too. Maybe things will change in the future. :)
