Hey, has anyone noticed that in the last few days SN seems to have a flood of new, quality, non bot accounts posting good stuff? It seems so sudden to me, but I'm not complaining.

Welcome aboard! I'm glad you're already seeing how special SN is.

When I started using Stacker News, I didn't quite get it. I was sharing links to anything and everything even remotely Bitcoin related: basically the same firehose approach that works on other social media.

I realized eventually that the high quality engagement is what's special here, so I started writing more comments and putting more thought into them. My early discussion posts were mostly me asking questions that interested me and that I thought people here would have interesting perspectives on.

Now, the communities become pretty diverse, so I'd recommend just writing about whatever you feel like writing about. Don't feel like you have to do anything in particular though.

It's actually not that bad of an idea. Since there's already people who are doing their little "BRC-20" thing with Ordinals which seem to be unnecessarily complex transactions, at least such a protocol (especially being proposed by someone like Casey, which means that while adoption would remain voluntary, it actually stands a good chance of having people decide to adopt it). It's pretty apparent, at least in my opinion, that ordinals/inscriptions aren't going anywhere; neither are the other implementations of such technology that people are dreaming up. Its also my opinion that this will continue to go on and the people who are participating in these activities do not give a shit about the various arguments certain purists here would make against it. That being the case, I think it's actually a pretty wise/prudent thing to push for.
