I really think this is not advisable. It is not good for anyone to have Stacker News become a gambling site.

Agreed. This brings all the wrong sort of attention to SN. I have no idea of the regulatory risk with regard to geography of users and I really don’t want to have to find out.

It's not thought of as an implementation to SN directly, more something i'd organize myself.

Well, there are enough low-effort posts on SN which are solely featuring a link to some article or blog, with which the OP also "gamble's" for Satoshis, to some extent at least.
Maybe this would reduce some of those types of posts, featuring a clear place to pursue Satoshis.

I can sort of see your point, though I think it's a stretch.
More importantly, this would put Stacker News in legal jeopardy, IMO.
