Show HN: Hacker News for cryptocurrency and Blockchain
- iamroot 9y agoBad Request: 400 gunicorn is not happy with you, apparently ;)
- abhutra 9y agoHahaha. It is happy now.
- nxsynonym 9y agogetting a "Bad Request: 400" error.
- 0x4f3759df 9y agoType is too large. Too much white, hard on the eyes. Logo looks like Comic Sans? That's a poor choice.
- abhutra 9y agoThanks for suggestion. Changed the color. Working on others.
- 0x4f3759df 9y agoLooks a lot better but you probably need darker font... Font is gray on soft white background (soft white is a big improvement) but now you prob need black font.
- arthurcolle 9y agoBroken
- abhutra 9y agoCan you please check again. Figured out the error and changed it.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agowhy did you make this instead of a subreddit?
- abhutra 9y agoI actually thought of it. But I believe that although reddit can be a great platform but it comes with certain limitations. With so many things going on in blockchain and cryptocurrecnices at so many fronts, a subreddit would give preference to only popular things. That is why I have added tags (Needs more improvement though), so that a person can look at his interest specifically. We can also add New ICOs section, something similar to SHOW HN to cover ICOs as well. And also web generally gives free hand to lead the project as you and your users want to compared to a subreddit. And as a programmer I love that feeling. :)
- ReverseCold 9y agoIt's like internet forums all over again. Every "subreddit" can be hosted somewhere else. This is fine.
- johnnydoe9 9y agoI can barely fit 3 posts at one time on my mobile screen as opposed to 10 HN posts. This is way too big.
- abhutra 9y agoChanged it now.
- sergers 9y agoi thought Hacker news _is_ the hacker news for cryptocurrency... lol. this is a news aggregator site, just like HN
- abhutra 9y agoTrue that. But now the title sounds like a clickbait :( (Had no intention of that)
- sergers 9y agoI was more joking about HN constantly have front page on cryptocurrencies/blockchain, i don't need a dedicated one lol as there's more than I need(but I am specifically not interested in that I am sure others are)
- abhutra 9y agoHahaha, I agree to that too. Maybe this could help to reduce that.
- elorm 9y agoYou might wanna include more sources for your aggregation, including subreddits.... Take a look at https://cryptopanic.com https://cryptopanic.com
- abhutra 9y agoSure, would have a look. The aim is to drive content and curation with the help of users.
- knocte 9y agoUgly.
- DennisP 9y agoNice set of links so far. I hope this gets some traction. Gray on white isn't the easiest for my old eyes, though.
- abhutra 9y agoThanks. Would try to tweak some colors.
- dsacco 9y agoLook, I understand this might become like the "hacker" debate, but can we please stop referring to blockchain and digital currencies with the term, "crypto"? We're coming to the point where people refer to these currencies as "cryptos". The cryptography of digital currencies is a very small portion of the entire field, and the term is being gradually co-opted to refer to that specific portion. The reason I bring this up is because I find the choice in domain name unfortunate. You could have used something like blockchain.study. The more we have this term co-opted the more often we'll search crypto and have the engine spit out a bunch of cryptocurrency related results when we're not necessarily looking for those.
- grzm 9y ago> can we please stop referring to blockchain and digital currencies with the term, "crypto"? I'm afraid that train has left the station. Can anyone think of a situation where such a language reversal has occurred?
- ashaney 9y agoNot off the top of my head, but I think it qualifies as a synecdoche: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synecdoche https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synecdoche
- tylerhou 9y agoOther way around - synecdoche usually refers to a whole through a part (calling an entire ship by just saying stern, for example) but a part through a whole is usually called metonymy. Synecdoche is a subset of metonymy. Edit: the wikipedia article does mention that it can be a part through a whole. But this is at odds with my Classical background.
- lou1306 9y agoThe only one I can think of is "gay", but it evolved from an euphemism and not a compound word. Anyway, this is a worrying trend. People are also starting to use "Cyber" instead of "Cyber security", so.
- Volt 9y agoNo RSS feed?
- abhutra 9y agoThat's the next thing in mind. There are some minor bugs which needs to be resolved, will put rss feed after that.
- tom_mellior 9y agoPart of the appeal of Hacker News is that it doesn't require a "first name" and a "last name" and an email address during registration.
- abhutra 9y agoTrue. Would consider your point.
- ainiriand 9y agoThe clicked links accumulate so if you click 'Newest' 3 times in a row you have to go back 3 times to get back to the home. Don't add links to history if the same url is already on top.
- abhutra 9y agoThanks. Resolving this.
- danmaz74 9y agoIs there a way to filter only news like, eg, when new coins get launched, when there are rumors about coins getting added to exchanges, when they actually got added? I'm following the space a bit, but the signal-to-noise ratio is terrible. An idea for a project that would be really useful IMHO: a calendar with all releases/rumors about additions/actual additions to exchanges. I would even pay a bit for that :)
- abhutra 9y agoYou are so correct. Even I face this problem a lot. I will try to see what I can do but unfortunately that is not possible right now. With so many ICOs coming in, getting the info is correct info is so much difficult. But icoalert.com is doing good work in ICO launch details and timing. Hope this helps.
- CryptoPunk 9y agoJust curious, did you remove any submissions?
