HNS coins can be sold on Namebase Pro or on a few Chinese smaller exchanges. They can also be used for TLD auctions on Namebase. Hopefully many more use cases to come.
The top ~250,000 users on github have had their SSH keys and PGP added to a merkle tree. Out of those ~250,000 users, ~175,000 of them had valid SSH and PGP keys at the time of tree creation.
If you had 15 or more followers on github during the week of 2019-02-04, your github SSH & PGP keys are included in the merkle tree.
> As a final addition, Hacker News accounts which are linked with Keybase accounts are included in the tree provided they were ~1.5 years old during the crawl.
But it's not entirely clear to me how I find out whether I was included or not, or where I'd be able to sell it.
