SBoC: Streamlining TextSecure Settings

You're already on the front page. Don't overdo it. (Also, the Astroturf is really transparent here. Up your game a little.)

I'm confused, aren't the SBoC blog posts all written by different people? Shouldn't we encourage new users to contribute? I checked it out, looks good to me.

You are obviously astroturfing. Push a bit more and your domain will end up on an auto-kill list.

That's a little better. Though for a truly successful facade, you have to tailor the comments to the community. In the case of HN, I would suggest some canned multi-paragraph commentary about the subject of the article, but not too much at once, or else people will start to check profiles and notice that these are new accounts.

Logging in every once in a while and posting different stuff to build credibility would help.
