Plenty of cryptocurrency chatter on HN these days anyway.

Gah. Crypto news? More like cryptocurrency. Wait. No. More like news for cryptocurrency traders.

This is not crypto news, but cryptocurrency news.

I'd like to see other terms as well, incl. distributed ledger stuff.

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.

I can't middleclick links. Unusable for me. Also, please don't attach /?sort=new (or remove it) to reddit threads. It overrides the user's sorting.

Use the link to the right of the title (shown as the name of the site it's on).

Clicking on titles expands/collapses.

HN works great without js. This site I can't even click the links?

Inspired by HN without all the thinks that makes HN great.

That's pretty counter-intuitive, compared to reddit/hn/similar...

> 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.
