Oh! And as for the sign in issue, my guess is you're using Firefox or Safari on the desktop, is that right?

Unfortunately, the Blockstack Browser (which is necessary for authentication) only works on those browsers if you download the local version here:

https://blockstack.org/install

That should be resolved very soon. All other browsers should not require that extra step.

Seems to work on Chrome. I've grown quite accustomed to having to rely on Chrome quite a lot because a lot of websites nowadays are not optimized for any other browser.
I know Blockstack is working hard on a solution to make sure all browsers support authentication without having to download a local instance of the Blockstack Browser. But Chrome and any other browser based on Chrome's underlying technology (chromium) should work great!
