Well, Hi. I'm one of the guys working on Octothorpes -- thanks all for digging into our project! So, some context. You've found the project in a sort of liminal stage between launched and not launched. We only started telling people about it at XOXO, and planned a semi-public roll out for some time this month. But then Weird Web October https://weirdweboctober.website/ https://weirdweboctober.website/ asked if they could use it, and they very much are. See https://octothorp.es/~/weirdweboctober https://octothorp.es/~/weirdweboctober. So we're in a little holding pattern where we're keeping it open for them but not promoting it to the wider world yet. "Post on Hackernews" is definitely not in this part of the roadmap, but we really appreciate that someone considered it worth sharing!
So caveats are that our documentation isn't fully up to date, some features aren't part of core yet, and we're still in a fairly rapid test and update cycle.
I've compiled a bunch of answers to this and a discussion on Lobste.rs in a blog post > https://ideastore.dev/blog/shrodingers-launch/ https://ideastore.dev/blog/shrodingers-launch/ but will address some specific questions about the protocol in-line here.
