Looks like the HN account is working again.

There have been a couple of quick updates I posted on the linked page. First, SDF does accept Bitcoin for validation.

Second, SMJ is personally upping the prize to $100. See the link for details.

I am very happy with the result of this stunt. So far this page has gotten over 100,000 which works nicely towards the goal of driving more users towards Tor and SDF.

To give some context, I did this as a publicity stunt for SDF and the Tor project. I have no affiliation with either of these, other than being a grateful user. SDF especially can always use more money and users. As opposed to pastebin, SDF lets you have an email account, message other SDF users, use IRC, etc.

As for the $10 reward, yes it is small, but the point is to see whether people can breach any of security, not to offer lots of cash (which I don't have anyway).
