The monero people have forked Stacker News.
They call it Stasher News and it seems to be a pretty close clone. I don't have any monero, so I haven't tested out the way they made the wallet work.
Is this the pay to post revolution?
Looks like maybe donttracemebruh is the developer behind it?
Looks cool, but only email signup and not FOSS
It's a p2p payment via QR code and they take no cut, but can verify the payment. No attached wallets afaict without an account.
not FOSS is not cool
i know SN is MIT license, but still. u gotta show some respect
Asked about the GitHub link on Stasher already: https://stasher.news/items/338667
They said the source is coming out tomorrow.
Oh cool!
it's kind of a compliment to the idea
maybe they will release the source code later, but not sure why not release the code now - what's their attack surface without attached wallets?
edit: oh, maybe how rewards are implemented
ohh, i was wrong, you can create an account with 12 words
you can signup generating a 12world seed, not sure that a wallet or just a stasher backup.
best post atm

would have been very funny if you couldn't post as @anon
but damn, 0.003xmr for a comment is a lot, that's 2000 sats
I didn't look at it much, but do they really not have a Sybil fee?
Mhh, good question, I don’t think they can take a sybil fee with p2p onchain payments
So this should be easy to exploit
lol
Lol if you build something monero will fork it, pretty on brand, do they also have confidential cowboy credits CCC?
Imagine the outrage if SN did that... rent-seeking, insider enrichment!
It makes the original more original, like Bitcoin.
The question is why they don't create something similar to lightning network over monero?
Looks pretty same in design!
Now I wonder why not I offer the idea to someone of creating another stacker news clone with India's UPI system which is very close to Bitcoin Lightning Network in utility..it's only that UPI uses fiat and mobile number as a link.
Actually .. wanna add my part to the "pay to post revolution" haha.
Have to say, the UX is much better over there. SN has, and will have, much to learn from this clone.
is it? the font page is so "noisy" / messy.
Wow imitation is really the best form of flattery
I find it quite brazen that no modifications / adaptations have been applied. Just copy wholesale
I'm game. I'm a sucker for free
satsfake satssucker.news will be next clone
Interesting to see a fully cloned ~AGORA included there from day 0.
~lol
They have boosts and donations?! And something called a turf fee
Hahaha, it's the same, just with fewer rewards.
Very cool. It's cool to see how easy the wallet infrastructure is.
I’m a clone give me monero
Hey hey 👋
