I know there is a lot covered by the main places for programming but bitcoin specific information is pretty thin on the ground. Having a sub for help and presenting technical stuff - how to's and development tips this sort of thing.
I think it would do quite well and attract a lot of traffic from the autistic Bitcoin devs out there. Oh, and Nostr and LN of course.
Stuff like:
  • Physical security - encryption and backup
  • Building with API toolkits, SDKs and RPCs related to these subject areas
  • Server deployment, security, etc. How to set up a really anonymous hidden service end to end, services that accept crypto, how to never leave the simple to avoid traces that might link back from a hidden service.
I think there is an appetite for this out there and I'm not sure there is really any place that has functioned in this way since the altcoin invasion and bitcointalk refused to leave the noughties.
Tutorials and help requests with bounties are a great use case for Stacker I think.
I'm not sure how fast @k00b wants to move on subs, but I agree. I think a beginner sub would also be useful so newcomers are not overwhelmed.

good idea.
if you had to pay a monthly fee to create a sub, how much would you pay to bring this sub to life?
reply
that's an interesting idea in itself...
reply
What are the ground rules? Can we recoup the fee from transactions on the sub? Can it be any topic?
reply
yes to both, and so in theory if your sub was a popular one with lots of transactions and fees, you could actually earn a profit for running it

With the assumption that I know shit all about running a community and I see this as a cool side project that may or not be profitable and may or not help orange pill some non techies (I'd probably do a gardening sub or something), I'm thinking 100-200 kilosats a month but I'm sure you can get a better offer from some of the folks here.

Yes, very good proposal. Sometimes you can miss in interesting question / post just because are so many bullshit crap twitter links posted and meaningless shitcoin news aggregators.

I'd like more subs but I noticed that going to a post puts me in that post's sub (in this case Bitcoin) when I prefer to stay in the global 'home' sub for now.
reply
Yeah I saw that too, should be one for each.
Definitely a news site should have at least like 7 or 9 topics. I mean, world, finance, politics, tech, social, music, video, movies, weather... lol.
