People will pour resources into a crypto-currency even when it's established up front as a joke. > don't break the site guidelines like this. I take it the rule was triggered by the word "campaign": >> So in other words, there's a campaign (centralized or not) to pump Chia on HN? :( I pretty clearly indicated that I don't think it's necessarily a coordinated thing. It's more of a phenomenon than a "brigade" or "astroturfing", but what should we call it? What should I say? How should I feel about a disturbing trend that you've pointed out? Furthermore, you've already shared your data, so there's no reason for me to email you about it per the guidelines. I appreciate the vigilance and hard work, but I think we can agree you're mistaken this time.
