The option to buy a nice T-shirt would be cool.
Maybe an orange shirt (thick cotton, I hate those thin cheap ones), with a white "HN" surrounded by a white box outline.

#52I don't want people chasing karma here. I especially don't want to encourage it for something they can solve with one line in their user stylesheet. "Hackers", indeed. I became so troubled by my own reaction that I added a couple lines of CSS to disable the absolute counter in the corner of every page. That number is toxic. https://imgur.com/a/uPnW7bT
I use it as someone-might-have-replied-to-your-comment indicator, if I see it change there's a high chance someone interacted with me and I wouldn't notice it otherwise.
There are a couple free services that will email you, which is more reliable. I’ve been using http://hnreplies.com for awhile.
I’m not saying that means you should hide your karma.
