- gj0 7y agoAgree. Here is how I was thinking. - For posting require a hacker coin. - Challenge/wrestle the validity of post by staking some amount of token. - Whoever wins the argument takes the opponents token. - There can be a karma component as well, where in the bad actors need to pay 1.5x amount of token if they did a bad karma last time.
- hazz99 7y agoWhy would I use this over the original, iconic HN run by Ycombinator?
- gj0 7y agoAll iconic centralized systems have points of failure. Why do many people feel insecure or powerless by facebook ? It was iconic in its time ! PS : I am not of any extreme opinion that everything should be decentralized. This post was just a thought and so decided to post here.

- x2f10 7y agoYou'd have to have some moderation - no? Otherwise, you'd be flooded with spam and illegal content. If there's moderators, there will be bias... which is what you're attempting to eliminate with a decentralized HN.
