There is a porn category

What about paying to see links or images which would also cover the bandwidth costs of uploading them ?

Protip - add an adult section

Nudge.

Site is still up and running, but no so much traffic anymore. Feel free to use it if you like.

Awesome, thank you.

Unremorsefully, bumping my favorite Bitcoin related site.

It was a suggestion for a new section name change. First you had "Hated" but I suggested "Abhor" or "Loathe" which I was leaning toward "Loathe" but you changed it to "Disliked" (past tense) of which I'm now suggesting "FUD" (all caps).

This next idea is going to bite me in the ass (pocket book), but I'll offer it up anyway since I like you and your site.

You have been very receptive on changing your site after suggestions have been made. That's great! But what if you did what I'm about to suggest to you, for your site design would make an ideal candidate for implementing my next idea.

Anybody can change a design element on your site at the cost of 1 BTC (set a USD equivalent max). If I want "FUD" instead of "Disliked", I have to pay you 1 BTC to get it implemented. If another person wants to see Coin Smack as a logo in the upper right hand corner of your site, not only will they have to design the logo, but pay you 1 BTC to put it in place. If another person wants Bitcoin orange instead of blue as the background on your site, again it'll cost them 1 BTC to see the change. Of course, all the these changes must improve upon the site's overall looks and functionality, and you'll still have final say on the matter. If an element is implement, but a person doesn't like it, he can have it reverted back at a 1 BTC fee, and the first person can change it back, but now at 2 BTC, and costing an additional 1 BTC for all further changes from this point forward.

If you like this idea, all I request is having "FUD" replace "Disliked" at no cost to me, but any further ideas I have, it'll cost me 1 BTC to see them implemented.

I don't understand. I know what FUD is though. How does that fit in to this project?

How about Hated > Dislike > FUD : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt


That seems to apply here.

Thoughts?

added, thanks!

Why not make a hand cursor at http://coinsmack.com/submit?

Hated->Disliked

and by the power of css


I know that plenty of people don't dig the style for the site (I have no eye for design). If you have a keen eye for style, feel free to submit changes to the css on this forum. If I like the looks I will incorporate them.

All lists have a limit of 100. I might up the Top section to 500. The hot and the newest section are supposed to be a slug fest by design.

Not into drugs, but those two 500mg V's sure do knock the shit out of you. I can easily see how some folks get into drugs. The only three bad habits I currently have is smoking, coffee, and the other one I don't do in public.

That makes a big difference and is a great feature--having only 100 on the newest list, where all others drop off. What's the max for the active and Hated list? BTW, have you considered renaming the Hated section? I've offered up a couple suggestions.


Should you consider bolding the three hyperlinks above (underlined)?

~Bruno~

It doesn't really sound as smooth. I consider bitcoins money, so using the word money seems to work fine.


The more people post stuff, the more it will matter that they pay. The "newest" list is the only place unfunded stuff shows, and it will only show the newest 100 posts. If people spam the heck out of it, they will all just fall off the stream.

I consider newest to be just a holding ground for things that need funding.

Enjoy the drugs, and thank you for giving suggestions. I enjoy improving this site.

BTW, there is now a twitter feed:

Stupid me! Got it! I just want to let you know again that I feel you have a great product here. Anytime I think of something that I feel will help you, I will freely share with you.

I think that later down the road as more people post stuff, you may have to go with that micro-payment-to-post aspect. Then again, maybe not. Just thought of something. If I post something and truly want it to get to the top of the ladder, so to speak, all I have to do is fund it. Forgive me if this has already been discussed but I'm high as a kite on Vicadins at the moment. (knee hurts)

pretty cool stuff  One thing you should change is " Put your money where your mind is"  shouldn't it be " Put your bitcoins where your mind is" ? just my 2 cents.

Just post something and down vote it. Anything with negative BTC will appear there.

I'm still having trouble posting in the "Hated" (hopefully, soon to be renamed) section.

~Bruno~

Can you add tags and languages support? ( I don't mean multilanguage pages, evn if this can be another feature )
So people will be able to search their own language news.

cunicula thinks that the hate section should be removed since, he claims, you're not sure of the concept. After seeing the first link, I went to the fence, but offered renaming it "Loathe". Also, how do can I list my links on the hate section?

I am afraid I don't understand what is being suggested.

Anyone want to explain it in sudocode.
