I'm not sure if my brain is failing me but... "I calculated a less than 0.001% chance of posts (content) making the front page of Reddit. That is a 1/1000 chance."

I hadn't heard of namecoin until you mentioned it. It looks interesting.

But shouldn't it be called bitname?

I think you mean phishing, not pishing. :)
