Meta-threads like this are a perfect illustration of how HN is declining. It does nothing to motivate/inspire hackers and startups. Instead we waste time up-voting/discussing things that have no relevance to real life. If someone wants to waste money buying an account based on "Karma", let them. Karma = nothing in real life

Someone could sell their HN account in real life.

"Relevance to real life" is not a good indicator of a submission's suitability for HN. The Minecraft CPU has less relevance to real life than this submission, but a Minecraft CPU definitely deserves the front page.
