Jack has sponsored a lot of FOSS work on nostr, a nice decentralized protocol for open discussion.

This has 500 points and 0 comments, guess it was pushed to the frontpage manually?

Yep, pulled the same trick yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41039468

500 bot accounts + 89 passerby's who saw on front page.

Flag the post, email hn@ycombinator.com and suggest dang torch the common 500 vote accounts that are shells.

Why not put in some of the new TLDs as test cases... ;)

Awesome idea. Hope this will work! I suggest you buy a ssl certificate. This will build trust.

Very good point, thanks. This was just the landing page, but you're 100% right. Adds to TODO list.

Not that good. Will get trust from tech-savvy people, but I didn't notice, and 99% of all people certainly won't. Of course, the 1% are the ones likely to use BTC, but don't rest on your laurels once you are done with the SSL certs.

What is this? GET?

Useful! Option to use the 'real' ASCII box-drawing characters and shadows would be a good add!

What are the "real" ASCII box drawing characters? -| and +? It already uses them.

+1 on that! What a great little tool.

What do you mean exactly? If you want, you can say which addresses are yours. If you don't: privacy!

Without running through a mixer, aren't one's transactions are vulnerable to being followed through the network of addresses back to the point of origin, and forward to the destination?

Depends on where you first entered the 'system' that makes you reveal your identity. For example, if you buy on localbitcoins in a face to face exchange without the need of identification, it wouldn't be feasible to track the Bitcoins to your real identity. Sovereign money to Bitcoin conversion is the spot where identities are revealed. Otherwise, it remains pseudonymous.

Nooo :(

I am just getting a gray page here @ opera.
