Any plans to add a comment system? Edit: I'm excited by the idea of a crypto focused HN-ish site, I'd love if there was a comment system :)
I thought that was Reddit is for. The /r/Cryptocurrency subreddit exactly serves this purpose.

#42This is not crypto news, but cryptocurrency news.
In a world where 'literally' can be defined as 'figuratively', I'm not sure why we bother splitting hairs on terminology... what is accepted is what is accepted.
It's like saying butter when you mean butterscotch. Doesn't mean the same thing and shouldn't.

#43I can't middleclick links. Unusable for me. Also, please don't attach /?sort=new (or remove it) to reddit threads. It overrides the user's sorting.

#45One of the reasons I love Hacker News is because of the high quality of content and discussion. Looking like HN is nice but the fact that your top post includes a nice little "(((bankers)))" remark from /u/BigNuts881 was a rough reminder that this isn't to be a much better than just looking through the results of a broad Twitter search.
That is a good part of Hacker News, but I'd suspect if it's like any other community site maybe 10% of people bother reading comments and 1% bother to make them. There's plenty of room catering for the 90% who just want the links Drudge-style, and kicking off a community that actually has discussions is super hard work.

#48- when I click on the link to go to the side, I'd much rather prefer it to open as a new page because it allows for quicker loading when you hit the back button, which would then close that page and bring you back to your site without needing it to reload.
- when visiting a link and then going back, I need to tap it twice. Just tapping once brings me to the redirect and then it just goes to the link again. This doesn't need time be fixed if the link is opened in a New tab though
- the tickers up top should give priority to a watchlist we could build and store in local storage so sign up isn't needed. Should be pretty trivial to implement

> what is accepted is what is accepted Is it accepted? I would agree only when it appears in the NYT or The Economist with its 'new' meaning. It's a subset of lazy people in tech who are abusing 'crypto' at this point in time, not Valley Girls. There's an inflection point here to interdict the abuse, before it gains mass-usage.

I don't accept crypto to mean cryptocurrency. It's like saying butter when you mean butterscotch. Doesn't mean the same thing and shouldn't.
