Quick, someone write MetaNews: A hacker news for "A hacker news for X" websites!
No kidding. And, be sure to rip off the entire look and feel with only a color change. Seems like there should be at least a little shame with these Hacker News for X sites.
Ok, can we stop now? They reason I prefer HN instead of say Reddit is precisely because all the news are in one place. The new trend "Hacker News for X" basically means hey guys let's make Reddit, without all the good stuff.
New trend? This has been happening continuously for about 5 years now.
I'm just amazed people keep upvoting it, despite the fact these sites always die.

It's not really "ripping off" anything given that the structure and css are included with the Arc distro which a lot of these sites appear to be using.

You serious? Getting stabbed IRL is less bad than /r/bitcoin. I'm not sure if the memes or continual circlejerking are worse.
Why is this better than /r/bitcoinserious, /r/bitcoinmarkets, or creating a new subreddit for bitcoin?
Change the header color to a nice yellow "coin" color, like #F9BA00, or the official Bitcoin color, #FF9933.
I do look forward to keeping an eye on it though. I hope it takes off. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, maybe it's the idea of taking that CSS/structure and creating an exact clone of HN for some specific niche that lacks originality in my book.
(sorry... I'm sure people think this is awesome because zomg Lisp but in any other language it would be derided as "spaghetti code")
Great idea! Some request * add an API (apps, mobile browsing) * integrate tipping (upvote = tip) * add signup fee to limit spam
- this assumes that there would flood of users on this site and a chunk of them will actually pay for it. Will you use HN if there is a fee? Instead, why not just write an algorithm to limit spam Or a 'report spam' button?
