Ask HN: What is the most amount of people you have had on your site at one time?
By the way, if you're able to get a small mention on BBC Click, we'd highly recommend it. We've seen some great triffic and feedback since our mention.

We started very slowly and in our first 6 weeks only had 130 users registered (email addresses given to us to receive daily doses of inspiration) and averaged around ~ 100 users a day coming to the site.
But now, we are averaging around ~ 1000 users a day coming to the site and have just broken the 500 mark for number of users registered on to our system.
We've made no money thus far (we plan on exploring ways of making money once we have an active user base) and have spent $100 on advertising.
We wondered how these stats compare to other sites who are in their early stage. If interested we can put a blog post together to explain exactly where our traffic comes from and how we've grown the site thus far - as we've learnt an awful lot in our 10 weeks thus far.
Finally, if you have any ideas on how we can improve the site further then we'd welcome suggestions. Thanks!
The idea is Special Bomb bins - a lot of bombings occur by terrorists placing bombs in bins. I don't know anything about bombs but I wondered if all bombs all contained an element that a bin could pick up on and auto alert authorities that that element existed within the bin. For example if all bombs contained 'x', and you had special bins that alerted authorities when the bin came into contact with 'x'. Or something along those lines. Happy to be told this idea is incredibly stupid. If that is the case, has anyone got any ideas about how we could possibly build a better bin so that terrorists can't hide IED's in bins without anyone knowing - or is that impossible?
Thanks, Steve
We've just added a feature - stumble. Users can now stumble their way through inspiration. Simply click this link - http://getinspired365.com/stumble and press the right and left arrow keys. If you feel like you are in need of a bit of motivation it is a great way to spend 5 minutes. If there is a particular topic that interests you, then click a tag and you can stumble through inspiration just for that tag.
thanks!
Just wondered what authentication methods banks in America/rest of the world are using?
In the UK we use chip and pin to authenticate a customer. Just wondered if we were behind the curve and if there was a new, easier, way of doing it?
thanks
