House Harkonnen will be pissed.
They do pay users for their data in the form of whatever service or content they provide.
FUD much?

I'm interested as a potential customer. Where can I get more information?

I believe they do header bidding for their own demand, but you can squeeze more revenue out of your traffic if you learn to manage your own headerbidding stack. Take a look at prebid.org and checkout the r/adops reddit. You might find some inspiration there.

I suggest you look into Header Bidding, you're leaving tons of cash on the table by going all in on just one demand partner.
Modafinil is a hot topic these days
Re:N.Y. landlord ordered to pay $6.7M for destroying graffiti on Wednesday February 14, 2018 @03:48PM (#16379224)
Graffiti typically means "illegal", so that's why the headline sounds outrageous. 5 Pointz was more of a "graffiti museum", with substantial cultural significance. It was a nice piece of news to see for a change. I was heartbroken when they whitewashed that building.

Steemit is interesting.
I'm still traumatized from the time I would spend on rotten.com
Plausible deniability. Fake followers aren't marketed as fake, they're just marketed as followers.

Still not being taken seriously as a "real currency" - it is being taken seriously as "real property" though.

"store of value coins" are such a far departure from what cryptocurrency was invented and intended to be: peer to peer decentralized money.
For anyone that's interested in this, I'd like to recommend an awesome documentary called Vigilante Vigilante. It's about anti-graffiti vigilantes that take it a little too far.

If Tezos ever arrives it might be a viable alternative for certain use cases.
Re:CryptoKitties craze slows down transactions on Ethereum on Tuesday December 05, 2017 @12:58PM (#15853848)
Agree, but a game like crypo kitties is probably the best and only tolerable use case for LN.
It's called brain wallet mining.

Re:Ask HN: Equity and cofounder title for first hire? on Wednesday November 15, 2017 @10:59AM (#15704645)
Laugh him out of the room. The guy is pulling in $15k/month from the job. Some equity might certainly be in order, but definitely setup a standard vesting schedule with a one year cliff. 1%-5% equity for an early hire makes perfect sense at your discretion.

No one here will answer this one for you, because they are all trying to answer it for themselves.
