HN could allow us to put a flattr link in our submissions. I've done it for my site, crickets so far... There is a similar service for Bitcoin that I am thinking about adding. That might be more interesting.

To flattr the OP or HN? If it's the first one, that could be deeply controversial (see also: the squawk on Metafilter about the same thing).

  I do it for the submitter on my site. I understand why some might think it is controversial, however. Actually, it might be best to keep it to comments only. -That's user created content. I'm going to consider that for my site. Thanks.

    Not just controversial. Getting Flattr'd for things you didn't create can get you banned (1). Comments would be ok though. [1] http://flattr.com/support/faq http://flattr.com/support/faq

Are you referring to http://Witcoin.com http://Witcoin.com which is like a HN where every time you upvote or reply, the poster gets commission? Or are you referring to YouTipIt.org which is fairly close to a Flattr except for using bitcoins instead?
