Yeah I can actually understand where you are coming from. I spend a lot of time with Bitcoin but never come to HN for Bitcoin information, I prefer my HN being startups and programming/algorithm stuff.

I think one of the reasons Bitcoin is becoming more popular on HN is that a lot of us are interested in fun/challenging tech ways to make a decent living or even make a million bucks.

At the moment Bitcoin is making a bunch of nerds millionaires and we are all interested in making sure Bitcoin overcomes all the hurdles ahead.

Bitcoin is programmable money, so I don't understand how there can be programmers who find it boring.

Hi josephagoss, could you please share with us your source of Bitcoin information?

In case you want to keep it private, I have an email provided.

Haha nowhere special, everything I know originates from Bitcointalk. A lot of information about the people, code, economy is there. However you do have to spend sometime searching and sifting through the noise.

Apart from the massive signal to noise ratio any site or related information ends up on that forum one way or another, it is a fantastic central hub. Just be warned, 99% of the stuff there is absolute rubbish.

A lot of the code has been explained over the years on the forum and a lot of discussion takes place about how certain things might be better off different. (At the moment a big area of interest is Coinjoin and Zerocoin is discussed quite a bit too.) Also the inventor of hashcash frequents the forum sometimes and offers good insight.
