As far as Easter Eggs go, also: https://www.google.com/search?pws=0&q=recursion

As much as I want E-cat to be true, it's almost like the creator(s) are following a well thought out plan. Parts of it might include "copy perpetual motion machine" and "remove obvious flaws." Other parts might be "create fictitious investors", and "claim partially working unverifiable product." Only next steps I can see is to gather additional investors (real profit), create fake orders(get investors), and disappear with the money.

So I read the FAQ and guidelines. As far as I can tell the things you mentioned are not specified.

"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

So did a blog post with 3 pictures and a paragraph of text satisfy your intellectual curiosity? What did you actually learn from this single site? Sure, the pictures are purrdy but it's hardly good content. IMO it matches the off-topic, more than the on-topic. "Moai statues have bodies, more pictures at 11!" An intelligent site aggregator without the bullshit fluff is too much to ask for I guess. I'll be over at lamernews.

http://www.eisp.org/ has way more information on the topic than the linked blog. I don't think it's off topic, I just think it's a poor article which has no real substance (hence the reddit comparison).

Eh. I guess I'll just stick to HN classic.

This still a tech news aggregator? This is something that should be on reddit, not hacker news...?

Bitcoin is essentially a giant pyramid scam. The early adopters have cashed out long ago. As mining gets more and more difficult, less people will cling to the liquid currency. Why trade with a deprecating currency, anonymous or not? The fact that the exchange rate is below the cost of mining should be alarming for many reasons.

I'd assume the creator/first adopters do not care, either way.
