#132Am I supposed to be impressed? This makes no sense whatsoever. The reminds me of that card game that raised money to dig a hole.
It's entertaining. It doesn't need to make sense. If you want a sane product with a good business model, well, there's more than enough of that flying around.

#134Hi all. About 2.5 years ago I created Highscore Money. I was looking at pay-to-play games and wondered what would happen if you'd take it to the extreme. The result was just a leaderboard you'd pay your way into. Whatever you pay, that's your score. Today, I'm launching a new social experiment. A chatroom where you pay for every message you send. Normally chatrooms can get messy quick, because there's no cost to send…
Front-page of HN and its not working. No-one has said anything for 90 mins. I tried to chat, signed up, nothing happened.
Now it seems to be working for other people, but not for me. Perhaps because I'm not in the USA.

#138Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are you shaming HN users for trying to monetize something?
That question is comparable to the type of question which is often used in politics to silence opponents. In that sense it should be against HN rules, as to whether it is I don't know. As far as I'm concerned he just asked a question which can be answered without the need for 'defenders' to show up and challenge the questioner - and with that stifle the discourse here.
The same logic applies to the question you're replying to. Were it me that was asked the question, I'd simply say "no, I was just curious."

#139I love that people are already working around the model by embedding part of the message in the username.
That took all of three messages...
