I'd like to propose a tag: Challenge HN:
Sounds good. Anyone with a challenge, email me at kyro@kyrobeshay.com with title/text of the submission. I'll post them on a weekly, or even bi-weekly, basis and credit the author. Edit: The intention behind this was to keep it structured and organized, contest-like, and not for karmic purposes, which I take is the reason for the downvotes.

How about donating small prices for the winners? Similar to ICFP programming contest bragging rights [1]. [1] See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICFP_Programming_Contest#Prizes
Hacking and puzzling are intricately interwoven anyway, especially debugging. It's no wonder that plenty of hackers have hobbies like lockpicking.

I solemnly swear it wasn't me, but I do agree with you that would be a good prank.
Looking at how quickly you commented after OTToken and when he commented how quickly you responded, I could see why someone would think it was you. Just like the yahoo answers "questions" that are obviously setups because they are answered 1minute after asked. Assuming it's not you, we have another area of comparison that is being overlooked. Besides OTToken's text patterns we also have when the comments were left. S…

Also, if you could check my comment history (which you can't because it seems to time out on HNs server) you'd see that my comment speed is usually fairly quick in threads where I'm active.

i could care less if you get karma. frankly, you'd deserve it for orchestrating this.
Seems a bit roundabout without any real advantage.
Daniels tag is all it really needs.
A different (and probably much easier) challenge: Disprove that it was me [or insert any other user here].
Disprove that pink elephants exist vs prove that gray ones do.
Which one is the easier challenge ?

That would certainly spice things up. Hacking and puzzling are intricately interwoven anyway, especially debugging. It's no wonder that plenty of hackers have hobbies like lockpicking.
Enough parenthesis. I just go ahead and pledge 10 Pounds per week to it. Perhaps we should discuss more by email?
(More later, I'll have to go to bed now.)
I bet it's tokenadult. I do not have any other proof than the fact that I immediately thought of that username when I saw onetimetoken. :-)
I never use any other username besides tokenadult on the forums where I use the username tokenadult. I like to have one consistent identity wherever I post (real name some places, screen name some other places) and I'm sparing in my use of screen names, and nonexistent in my use of sock-puppets. (I have been tempted a few times, but have thus far always resisted the temptation.) Now I will go look at the comment so I…
As for the 'learned conversation', I think that sets the bar a bit high, as long as it is polite and somehow coherent I'm fine with it :)
