If @k00b is really Jimmy Song, I will boost this (even more).
Please write some confirmation on Twitter. Maybe use https://tweetnacl.js.org/ to prove yourself.
Yes, reading Jimmy's articles is very enlightening. I found Stacker News just thanks to him mentioning it…

Hey Jimmy.
I learnt about Stacker News from your newsletter, signed up with my lightning node and upvoted your post, all in a few minutes, and all without disclosing much about myself. The future is bright. The future is Bitcoin.

The more blocks that are mined, the more credibility the network has. Bounties can act as an IT security service for the network, thereby providing more opportunity to maintain and build upon this network credibility. If Bitcoin is going to become a world standard, then geopolitical issues must not be more than of secondary concern.

Lightning Lab's article on LN liquidity is worth a look for those new to running their own LN node.

Dope. I hadn't articulated the Sybil resistance at all. I do hope the site stays predominantly technical. I suspect that'll be the case by keeping the Lightning user hurdle.
I also hope to address some of these problems eventually too but it's tricky as the value of social media is centralizing discourse so that it can be easily discovered and ranked. How to provide the same benefits without centralization appears to be an open problem.
