Gosh, I wonder if a comment or two will kick this to the front page?

Covering one-way hashing, symmetric and asymmetric stuff in two or more posts later.

It was a very good post -- do comments effect front page status?

Very cryptic post ;)

Comments do effect a story's score:

private static int GetStoryScore(Story story, Host host) {
int score = 0;
score += story.KickCount * host.Publish_KickScore;
score += story.CommentCount * host.Publish_CommentScore;
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("Pub: Score of [" + score + "] for storyID " + story.StoryID);
return score;
}

heheeh... It could have been worse. I could have created fifteen fake accounts, or had my friends join to kick.

I could ask _all_ my friends to kick my posts, too! Unfortunately that would guarantee only one additional kick at best... :S

@yesthatmcgurk We don't need a "State Street Gang... er... Mafia" Okay, so it doesn't work so well in your case.

I like it. I'll call them... the Gangalos. Fingerpaint on the face is a must.
