I mean no offense, and I realize that this is your site; but I really think jug6ernaut's comment added far more value than your response. I don't think jug6ernaut missed the point whatsoever, and I wouldn't characterize him as nit-picking either: The question of who is expected to understand the t-shirt and what its point is (as compared to an unbranded t-shirt) are perfectly reasonable. Personally I see nothing wron…

pg isn't saying that the comment misses the point, he is saying that the comment is saying that the post is missing the point. He wasn't saying the original comment was unreasonable at all. The original comment is the exact kind of thing you would see as top comment on this kind of post, and that isn't a bad thing.

When I first read pg's comment I interpreted it the same way as cperciva. But after reading your comment, I'm not sure any more.

That's not bad per-se IMHO, after all still HN even with the "ghost news" appearing and all the rest is a decent place. What is a big issue IMHO is that, given it's starting to be obvious how important is to have a completely neutral HN-style news site for hackers world-wide, nobody tried to do a serious no-profit to create a replacement that is able to guarantee a more democratic and not interested management. So YC…

lamer news?

That was a failed attempt from my side too, because you can't just trow a site there, and don't handle the community, create a super-partes organization, and so forth. My problem is lack of time unfortunately.

I'll retry with something in Italian language soon that is smaller and more manageable, and much needed.

I kind of wish this were the top comment. It would be humorously appropriate if the top comment on the thread about the official HN t-shirt were the traditional nitpicking/point-missing type that is so commonly the top comment when people launch new technology here.

I think that comment should actually be printed on the backs of the shirts.

I'd actually buy that...

I cannot decide if that makes me sad or you a genius.

The Teespring homepage seems to be designed just for people wishing to sell their apparel, not for people looking to browse around for shirts. Is this in the works?

Most definitely in the works! We're planning on releasing a product iteration that has more discovery tools soon.

Sweet. Just followed on Twitter so I can check it out.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the comment...

Too bad they don't integrate with Coinbase.com!

We're working on accepting Bitcoin through Coinbase, just wasn't quite ready for this tee!

While you're working with CoinBase, can you ask them to accept green addresses so we can get instant payments instead of waiting an hour?

"Green address" means whitelisting addresses from the big online wallet sites because you trust them not to launch double-spending attacks against you. Coinbase would also be a great green address provider.

I feel like I'm trapped in an HN parody.

It's precisely because I want HN to be a site where people engage in meaningful discussion that I try to discourage people from upvoting the first dismissive comment they come across. Even discourage is probably too strong a word though. I feel like someone standing in the surf, trying to hold back a breaking wave with his hand.

Nice "insider" design! Since international shipping is $10.50, putting the cost per shirt at $23.50, but shipping for additional shirts is only $1, if there was enough interest I'd be happy to front a UK HNLondon Meetup group-buy, with all costs shared equally, and shirts to be distributed at the next event following their delivery.

Not a bad idea, but be careful. You'll be liable to pay import VAT of 20% on an order over £15 in value and custom duties as well if the order is over £135 in value.

So take this into account if taking orders or money from people, you might end up with a 20% VAT bill when they get delivered that purchasers may decide they don't want to pay.
