Looks a lot better but you probably need darker font...
Font is gray on soft white background (soft white is a big improvement) but now you prob need black font.
I actually thought of it. But I believe that although reddit can be a great platform but it comes with certain limitations.
With so many things going on in blockchain and cryptocurrecnices at so many fronts, a subreddit would give preference to only popular things. That is why I have added tags (Needs more improvement though), so that a person can look at his interest specifically.
We can also add New ICOs section, something similar to SHOW HN to cover ICOs as well.
And also web generally gives free hand to lead the project as you and your users want to compared to a subreddit. And as a programmer I love that feeling. :)
I was more joking about HN constantly have front page on cryptocurrencies/blockchain, i don't need a dedicated one lol as there's more than I need(but I am specifically not interested in that I am sure others are)
Design cannot be fixed with incremental improvements like a review in a PR. If you don't have talent for eye candy, you don't have it. Hire a good designer.
Look, I understand this might become like the "hacker" debate, but can we please stop referring to blockchain and digital currencies with the term, "crypto"? We're coming to the point where people refer to these currencies as "cryptos".
The cryptography of digital currencies is a very small portion of the entire field, and the term is being gradually co-opted to refer to that specific portion.
The reason I bring this up is because I find the choice in domain name unfortunate. You could have used something like blockchain.study. The more we have this term co-opted the more often we'll search crypto and have the engine spit out a bunch of cryptocurrency related results when we're not necessarily looking for those.
Other way around - synecdoche usually refers to a whole through a part (calling an entire ship by just saying stern, for example) but a part through a whole is usually called metonymy. Synecdoche is a subset of metonymy.
Edit: the wikipedia article does mention that it can be a part through a whole. But this is at odds with my Classical background.
I concur. I have the keywords "cryptography" in my resume along with "NSA Suite-B Algorithms".
The amount of blockchain and cryptocoin startups that contact me are absolutely insane. They immediately assume that because I have the word crypto somewhere in there that I am working exclusively at cryptocoin startups.
The clicked links accumulate so if you click 'Newest' 3 times in a row you have to go back 3 times to get back to the home. Don't add links to history if the same url is already on top.
Is there a way to filter only news like, eg, when new coins get launched, when there are rumors about coins getting added to exchanges, when they actually got added? I'm following the space a bit, but the signal-to-noise ratio is terrible.
An idea for a project that would be really useful IMHO: a calendar with all releases/rumors about additions/actual additions to exchanges. I would even pay a bit for that :)
You are so correct. Even I face this problem a lot. I will try to see what I can do but unfortunately that is not possible right now.
With so many ICOs coming in, getting the info is correct info is so much difficult. But icoalert.com is doing good work in ICO launch details and timing. Hope this helps.

this is a news aggregator site, just like HN
But now the title sounds like a clickbait :( (Had no intention of that)
Take a look at https://cryptopanic.com
Gray on white isn't the easiest for my old eyes, though.
Would try to tweak some colors.

I'm afraid that train has left the station. Can anyone think of a situation where such a language reversal has occurred?

Anyway, this is a worrying trend. People are also starting to use "Cyber" instead of "Cyber security", so.

Something like CryptoC.
