There is no threat now. It is OKAY now. But the project is retired!

Admittedly, some or all of these factors would ultimately have to be true for this to succeed (and I admit that the most likely outcome, as always, is that it won't):

  • Enough faster than reddit that people will prefer it on speed alone
  • A community that cultivates an atmosphere that people find preferable
  • Features that reddit lacks, or user-visible implementation details that are more pleasant to use

A few weeks ago I started working on something similar, an HN-style bitcoin discussion site: Ask Bitcoin

reddit has a reward system for authors, translators, and sharers?

bitcoin tip bot, you do know your basically saying the same thing. Just putting titles to what people do, but yeah this is reddit. You know hackernews was trying to create a reddit system that is more niche.

I thinks reddit and hacker news were born pretty much at the same time. Reddit was an ycombinator company (and hacker news is hoster by ycombinator). Originally reddit (digg clone) was mostly for the cat pictures, and it didn't have the more specialized subreddits, which came later on.

So I don't know if it is fair to call hacker news reddit imitator, but whatever Smiley

Hackernews ( https://news.ycombinator.com ) is a clean solution for aggregating, rating, updating news.

Do we need a bitcoin edition of hackernews?

If we do need this, on the top of a hackernews clone, I want to establish a donating mechanism to reward authors, translators, sharers, which will guarantee the quality of materials.

Every story should assign an wallet address to receive donations from readers.
* Platform gets 10%
* the sharer gets 10%
* the translator gets 30%
* the author gets the rest.

and a system to reward submitters by the quality of stories they submit, and punish plagiarism.

I'm working on it. hope it could be online within two weeks.

any suggestion?
