This is an interesting debate. During the last weeks I've been working in a concept like this, but is not ready yet.

I'm a big fan of Hacker News, and I'm trying to create something that isn't an exact copy of HN, so if someone is interested feel free to sign up to the "The Currency" mailing list in http://thecurrency.io/ or send me an e-mail to hi@thecurrency.io. I count to have some news in the next weeks.

PS: and I also appreciate to have some feedback about the landing page: brand, value proposition, etc.

Thanks.
