http://boingboing.net is a rather interesting, if somewhat alternate, source of tech and other news.

A few weeks ago I launched http://thecurrency.io/, which is like a HN for cryptocurrencies and the future of money.

Feel free to give me some suggestions.

With the requests pinging around here, I'll say it explicitly - I'm a member, and I'm happy to send an invite to any active HNer.

I would like an invite too please :) personjerry@gmail.com

I really wish HN would have tags, that's the killer feature of lobster for me (Someone posted http://newshack.io/ a while ago, which is an interface for HN with automatically generated tags, but I don't find it as good). I've mixed feelings instead toward it being invite only - From one side, the fact that your account is something "precious" can encourage smart/intelligent discussions, and it's also hard for trolls/…

Your HN comment history shows you’re not a spammer. I’ve sent you an invite, to the email address in your profile.

I'd like one too! ;-) (My email's in my profile.)

I am also willing to send out some invites. PM me if you are interested.

I'd also appreciate an invite. Thanks!

At the risk of being 'that guy,' any chance you could spare an invite for me?

The inviter needs to know your email address to send you an invite. I suggest just putting your email in your HN profile ( https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=untothebreach ). You can obfuscate it if you’re worried about harvesting. Or if you only want to share the address temporarily, for this thread, post it at https://onetimesecret.com/ . You comments seem fine, so I would invite you if I knew your email address.

Added my email, thanks for letting me know.

Subreddits aside, I have taken a liking towards Designer News - news.layervault.com

I'd love an invite if anyone has one. One of my open source projects appeared on there in the past, a lot of people were asking "can it do this?", "how do i do that?" type of questions. It was super frustrating not to be able to respond to people with the answer they wanted because I didn't have an account
