The Stacker News before Stacker News was 'WitCoin'

k00b

It was too early.

The size of the bitcoin "community" was a miniscule fraction of it today, which itself is a miniscule fraction of the broader Q&A/Link sharing social media landscape (from which Reddit, Stack Overflow, etc. are frequented by).

Also, early bitcoiners were not fond of dropping 0.01 BTC (~$0.01) just to reply to a post, for example.

The two founders, an ideas guy and a dev, kind of clashed if I remember correctly. If I remember correctly the dev was open to shitcoinery. And then the dev had a number of issues with his personal life.  Witcoin stagnated and before completely wilting away, was hacked, and shuttered.

In other words, Witcoin did not have a K00b -- not even close.
