I am curious to learn more about your site. From what I understand you do not pay for articles directly. Payment to the author, if any, is only from reader's tips. Your site receives free content to promote Bitcoin News with no direct compensation to the author. I have also read through your terms and conditions and I do not see any language regarding retention of rights of the author to their content. Perhaps I missed it.

My main question is this: Why would an author choose to publish on your site rather than directly on Stacker News?
