I stopped reading at “Ethereum wallet”. Sounds like a crypto scam to me. Just kidding! That is just the typical HN knee-jerk reaction when they see “ethereum wallet”. Great job — we need more alternatives that actually have good tokenomics. Would you open source this?

The thing is this could easily be done without crypto - once again another braindead example of crypto still lacking any use case whatsoever and only appealing to fools. Just kidding (another example of a dumb HN comment you see on every crypto post). A few lines of code and you are accepting payments from any country on earth, totally decentralized and p2p! Also the site itself is much cleaner and faster than the others posted. Keep it up.

  Not in my view. The idea has A LOT of potential. @nwienert, when I saw that I had to connect a wallet, I actually thought that posting a comment would cost some very low ETH/MATIC/whatever price. It would actually be great to prevent stupid, knee jerk, spam and other comments. There's also the possibility of "accumulating" part of the charged comment amounts and spread it between a) The original poster and b) maybe the top N commenters (after a week maybe?). I don't know if you know, but, back in my day ,there was something called Hashcash which was envisioned to minimize or prevent Email Spam. Hashcash the precursor to one aspect of cryptocurrencies (the infamous PoW mining). Man, this has so much potential.

    I agree with you! Re read my comment, I was just also critiquing the crypto haters.

  I was trying not to read too much into test submissions, but yeah. Those are some off-putting examples to use. https://i.imgur.com/fGcjZzj.png https://i.imgur.com/fGcjZzj.png

    And another article that "exposes woke bigotry." Really, there are so many better examples to post.
