Stacker News is an online community platform where users post and curate content and reward contributions with bitcoin payments over the Lightning Network.
Semantic Classification
Content
- Stacker News is a link-aggregation and discussion site in the style of forums such as Hacker News, but it uses bitcoin Lightning payments rather than conventional voting to rank and reward posts and comments.
- Users pay small amounts of bitcoin to post and tip, which the platform treats as a spam-resistance mechanism and as a way to direct value to contributors whose content is well received.
