Welcome to the 3rd installment of this experiment in unearthing relics from Stacker News' past.
Catch yesterday's issue here: #570204
Thanks to @0xbitcoiner for making some formatting suggestions.
I have to make an executive decision about who to forward sats to, since only 5 are allowed and there are 9 potential recipients. Until I think of a reason to do something else, I'm going to reward the top stackers from each year.

Hi all, this is Burak. Feel free to ask me anything about Ark. Ark is a new privacy-preserving Bitcoin layer-two idea for those unfamiliar. I would love to address all of your questions or concerns you might have. Stupid questions are welcome :)

Excerpt
WoS is a custodial wallet, so you are correct to wonder if your funds there are safe. The answer is, ... no, your funds are not safe on a custodial wallet. Because YOU HAVE NO FUNDS on a custodial wallet. You have only an IOU from the operator of said custodial wallet.

Looking sharp. I have no clue how to format like this on SN. Maybe @0xbitcoiner should do a tutorial for us.

Thanks.
Yes. I would like a tutorial too. I can fancy up my newsletters
EDIT: Now I see it. I missed a lot being mostly absent for a few hours
I'm really glad to see you are continuing the daily posts. I'm sure it's a hell of a lot of work, but they are great to read, and they do a lot towards keeping old posts alive. The longer you keep up the daily pace, the more pressure you'll feel to continue. We'll keep bugging you.

I'm curious though: How come that #1 was included here and yesterday? Is there still a bug with the calendar or something?
That warmed my heart.
Why wouldn't the same post be on top for two days? It's not like there was much competition back then.
Ah, this might be it
Yesterday’s issue was fine but this blew my mind away. Only masters of formatting like @Oxbitcoiner can instantly take one look n know what are the things to be done to level up 🆙
Yeah, if left to my own devices, it would have taken three or four iterations to get to something about half as good.
Hrmmm I wonder if we could make this easier for you to do. We could make a script like the one I have for the newsletter, but I'm not sure how to package that for someone else to use.
I feel no need to be the one making these. I suggested this idea to other people many times over the past year or so.
Feel free to deploy the script.
Thanks again for this thread! I hope it continues to be published every day
We'll see. Day 2 was a lot easier than day 1, but day 3 was more challenging than day 2.
Once is gets dialed in, I'm hoping one of the nerds will just automate it.
I understand, it's a lot of work to collect all this and do it manually, I'm sure someone ends up helping you, these threads make SN even better.
Just within three days, it has become the post that I keep waiting for. Really impressed with your creativity and now with the hard work you're putting in.
Thanks and much appreciated!!
Wow, nice format. Like it👍
Amazing!!
Going back to where it all started!!
