#2If this is "by geeks for geeks" and distributed on GitHub, where is the source?
The GitHub page links to a Kickstarter which says "Become a contributor for Command Quarterly" which links to http://commandquarterly.com/ which is currently down/dead/non-existent?
Also, why does a social network need a crypto currency?

#3That's super cool. I feel like the terminal is the window to the soul of the machine and a gateway for exploration. This breathes life into that idea.

#4The idea sounds cool but it is perhaps too early for public launch. The github is just hosting a zip that contains executables, no source. (Do many projects (ab)use github this way??). I'm not going to run a random binary from an "anonymous" "darkweb" entity.
I miss the Free software movement. :(

#5Related commandquarterly.com website currently presents namecheap's default site homepage...
That said project seems cool but there should be more informations about it

#8I'm fairly confused as to how this is a "Show HN" to begin with — essentially this is just a README file which links to Kickstarter. No one in their sane mind will download and run a random closed-source binary that's supposedly "anonymous social network crypto hacker board thing totally safe".

#9The original UNIX came with social networking tools: "mail" for sending messages to people, and "finger" for status updates. Later systems added "talk" and "ytalk" for live chat.

After seeing that link yesterday where you could buy Hackernews upvotes, posts like this one upvoted to the front page makes more sense.
