I just signed up for SN after lurking for some time. Feels nice to just login through lightning without providing any email or whatnot.

Welcome!
I've been using SN for months now and just yesterday I linked my account with an email and Github. Only reason is just in case I lose my phone or something, I'd still like to be able to login to this nym.

Same here! Just signed up moments ago. Bitcoin Twitter is just losing it luster for me, and this place has early Digg.com vibes going but for Bitcoin. Love it!

I didn't know SN had lurkers without accounts. That's interesting.

@k00b, @kr, do we know what % of pageviews are not signed-in?

Not exactly, but I guess at least 50%.
Over the last 36 hours, we've had 2k+ visitors but only ~500 logged in users visited.

Probably hard to distinguish from bots...

The heavy bots use different User Agent, so you can catch those. Also the main bots respect robots.txt.

Got it, thank you! I wonder if it would help slightly to call that button instead of "login" as "login with LN" (or use the lightning icon)

To tempt the Bitcoiners? Interesting
