Any plans to add a comment system? Edit: I'm excited by the idea of a crypto focused HN-ish site, I'd love if there was a comment system :)

I thought that was Reddit is for. The /r/Cryptocurrency subreddit exactly serves this purpose.

I'm looking for comments and discussion with quality on par with HN. Reddit, generally, does not provide that.

Congrats on shipping!

What's the tech stack you used? I see from your comments buried at the bottom that you are not a designer, so will give you a pass on the usability issues that others are whining about.

Would suggest you buy a HTML template off of wrapbootstrap or themeforest and customize it. If you can't do that, hire someone from upwork to do the customization for you.

PM if you wanna chat more. Email in profile.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't accept crypto to mean cryptocurrency. It's like saying butter when you mean butterscotch. Doesn't mean the same thing and shouldn't.

Unfortunately, the world could care less about what you personally accept.

And vice versa. Though actually, I can care less than I care about "what the world accepts", for example about some person speaking for the world. If you accept it, make your case; if you don't, leave "the world" out of it.

This is not crypto news, but cryptocurrency news.

this is called linguistic prescriptivism and its wrong

Calling out linguistic prescriptivism is almost as bad a social faux pas as the linguistic prescriptivism itself.

In a world where 'literally' can be defined as 'figuratively', I'm not sure why we bother splitting hairs on terminology... what is accepted is what is accepted.

This isn't the world. This is Hacker News, which is full of people who know what crypto is and know what cryptocurrency is and can expect each other to do better than ambiguity.

> what is accepted is what is accepted Is it accepted? I would agree only when it appears in the NYT or The Economist with its 'new' meaning. It's a subset of lazy people in tech who are abusing 'crypto' at this point in time, not Valley Girls. There's an inflection point here to interdict the abuse, before it gains mass-usage.

I see it as hopelessly yelling at kids to stop walking on your lawn

What is actually happening is that someone tells other people on the lawn that they wish kids wouldn't walk (and poop) on it, and then some of those other people play kiddo advocate and yell at that person. The kids are aren't providing any active resistance at all compared to that.
