I feel I might not have the same conception of "front page" as you.
The way I see it, there should be room for small neat articles, even if they are not announcements of billion dollar projects. I know HN has changed over the years, and it probably used to have more of this stuff. But I don't think there is anything explicitly forbidding it. If users like it, it gets to the front page, maybe just for a couple of hours on a slow Sunday.
So in summary, I don't think anybody should stop posting things because they are "not front page stuff". Does this line or argumentation make sense to you or do you think I am missing something?
Reposted because it did not take off last time it was posted. Since the author recently passed and I thought it would be nice to give it a second chance. While it's still available.
There is no encryption in Bitcoin. It uses asymmetric cryptography for signatures, and it uses hashing. Encryption might be used by wallets, but that is not part of the consensus layer and therefore not part of Bitcoin.
