  I wouldn't be surprised if that were edited out. It has happened in the past with other criticisms of coinbase.

    *it has happened in the past with all sorts of submissions (both positive and negative) about all sorts of companies because it is part of the rules of HN. Is the rule applied 100% of the time so that nobody will be able to find any exceptions? No. We're talking about humans here. But they are pretty consistent. Especially for stuff that hits the front page.

      "But they are pretty consistent." Discussed last time there was a front-page article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5428402 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5428402 I pointed out that "Coinbase (YC S12) hires first engineer" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5011361 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5011361 didn't conform to the standards.

        As I said, there are exceptions. Humans do this, not algorithms. It's thus understandable how you found a two point submission that nobody ever saw which was overlooked.
