The sooner you get paying users, the better, because then you can figure out what they really want and move in that direction.
Depending on what kind of users you have in mind, HN may or may not be a good place to find them. There are plenty of products, like patio11's stuff, that probably don't convert at all from HN since we're not his target market. Maybe find a niche and concentrate on that?

I'd just use email or the phone for feedback.
The problem would probably be driving the users out because of some features not working/working incorrectly.
I should maybe just do very thorough inside beta with a few selected people I know to fix up at least the most annoying things.
Attracting users is not going to be easy in any case, so I would start trying to pull them in and get them using it, a bit at a time.
